Houston, we have a problem!

I agree with DJFyrewolf36. My sister has 10 cats. My son was staying with her and he doesn't care for cats as they interfere with his asthma. (I think cats are very sensitive of how we feel about them.) He was sleeping on the floor and one of the cats sprayed and pooed on his beding while he was in it. They especially did this after he told them to get away from him.

OMG, how drastic!!
That cannot be the problem here though, as Bernard adores all 4 cats, just like me

I am sorry Lut. It is difficult to figure out WHO!

My first thought was "Is Snoopy in heat?" As she gets older she may do more urine marking during her heat cycle. Just another possibility.

Although, banning Zazou from the garden may very well be the cause.

If it is an infection the cat will attempt to use the box often (more so than normal) so be observant and you may be able to figure out who.

Prayers to you that the answer comes (and trust me, I know how hard it is with multiples)

It does sound like a infection to me. Smokey pee where ever he feels like when he is developing crystals (stones) in his bladder. Fortunately for me I know his "moods" when he is not feeling well.

As for figuring out who it is....well that's the hardest part. My advise is to watch very carefully around the house, their behavior, their litter box habits, etc. you will probally catch whoever it is in the act.

Hope this resolves soon (((hugs))) I know exactly what you are going through and it can be very frustrating.

No, she is not in heat; she was last week.
No abnormal use of the litterboxes either..... .
This is one of those days where I wish that cats could talk to me....

You know how they have "nannycams"??? How about a "poo or litterboxcam"? Sorry, just trying to inject a little humor here. Bad Donna, BAD DONNA!!!!!

Funny though!

Lut, I'm sorry to hear about this problem - and now of all times.

I know you have an important party tomorrow.

One of them is definately trying to tell you something! My first thought was bladder problems, as Fister did much the same when he had crystals. I would keep a close eye on them all and see if there's any change in their behaviour.

Good luck finding the cause and who did it.

Oh my, I am sorry to hear that one of the sweet Gabriel Girls is acting up. So unusual for any one of them!

I have no real advice to offer here as I only have 2 girls and I have only had a peeing issues one time. I just wish you luck in finding out what the problem is. I would agree that Zazou may be upset with her outdoor privileges being taken away and she is taking it out on your husband, the creator of the great outdoor gardens!
