Why the pee and poo everywhere but the sandbox?

We have an elderly cat (18 years) that pees and poohs everything but the sandbox. We love and her and try and make her feel comfortable, keeping her sandbox clean and fresh and praising her when and if she uses it, but she still prefers to pee all over the floor and pooh on the furniture. It’s very stressful. We spend almost every evening when we get home cleaning up the messes she leaves and every morning when we wake up we have to clean up the house again. My husband and I are at our wits’ end. Please someone help us. We are starting to argue with each other and it’s causing a lot of stress and tension in the house.

Answer #1

first take her to the vet to see if its a medical issue because some cats will do that I they are sick or have a bladder infection or something like that. If nothing is wrong medically then it is obviously a behavioral problem. my cat pees on my clothes and I have scheduled her an appointment with the vet because I got her from a friend of a friend who is so careless that she had the cat locked in a closet with no food and water that I wouldnt even pee in. If it is a behavioral problem please let me know what you plan to do because my husband wants me to get rid of her.
