Johanna, mine will refuse to go in a smelly box. Smokey will pee on the basement wall, and Abner and Mystic will beg to go outside if the box is dirty.

As for the pooh on the floor it's possible that as Lily was covering her mess that she steped into her pooh.

I think she messed because the box was smelly. I don't think it she will go on the mat again if the box is clean.

Was she right next to her box? If she was not, the only other thing that I have had experience with is with Smokey having crystals in his urine and he would just pee anywhere he was because he was in such pain, he could not make it down to his box, BUT if she was right next to her box.....then I really think it was because it was smelly.
