Is this unusual?-What is the reason for this behavior?

My indoor-outdoor cat sleeps in her well protected and insulated cat

bed/tunnel
just outside the main house on my patio.

It rained very heavily the other day and the next day I did the

usual, always
clean out her bed & blanket to air it. But to my disgust, she left

her poop
(intact & firm - not mushy & no ordours!) in her bed!

She has never done this before! Could it be that it was raining and

she didn't
want to get wet in the rain to get to the flowerbed to poop and so

she did it
in her bed! But that is most unusual for most animals because they

usually
don't go near their poop.

Is this a major cause of concern or should I just dismiss it as her

not wanting
to get wet and she couldn't hold herself anymore?


Get her a cat box! Of course she didn't want to get wet. I think she
left it in her own bed so as to disturb you and your things as little
as possible. Also, using your flower bed as a toilet is not really a
good thing for her to do.

Maybe
the rain kept her inside; that part I can't guess at.


Thats what I don't understand either. It is most unusual. At the

moment I am
not too worried becasue judging by her poop, she's appears to be in

good
health. Isn't it wierd. How do you explain such behavior?


Sorry about the first post, I missed that her bed was outside. Is she
able to come inside when it rains? And, how old is this cat?
