Why the pee and poo everywhere but the sandbox?

Home More advice Pets & Animals

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.
