My 3 mo old was doing just fine for the past week going pee and poo in the litter box. Then all of a sudden today and yesterday she would only go pee in the litter box and poo on my bathroom rug. I thought it was because the litter had a poop already in it and she didnt want the litter to be already occupied by a previous poop so I started to remove them asap. Well its been clean and changed and the pooping on the rug is still happening. I have cleaned the rug with enzyme cleaner etc and she still goes on it but a different spot.

the litter is in the bathroom and actually closer to the door than the rug so it cant be that she isnt holding it long enough. Dont know if maybe she is using the litter box as her kennel or what now. Today I did find some food in her kennel that looked as if she threw it up. I cleaned it all out and removed and changed the bedding as well.

Dont know what it could be. If anyone has some insight on this one I would really appreciate it. Im stumped with this one.
