I have never heard of cats liking to poop or pee where there is warmth coming out, like your burners and heating vent. I can give you a place to check out on here which I am a part of. It is a "cat lovers" group and there may be several helpful tips that others can give you there as well. Try it out or maybe you have checked it out already. I sure hope that kitty will stop doing this. One of my cats is old and she tends to pee sometimes away from her litter box. It does get frustrating and so had to confine her in the room with the litter box for awhile to train that this is where you poop and pee not any where else in the house. She seems to get it now but who knows she may lapse again. So please check out the cat lovers group.

We had a cat when I was growing up that would go to the bathroom in places he shouldn't out of sheer spite because he was mad at us...he loved to lay on whatever you were doing or working on, homework, a project, the newspaper,
I remember my mom wrapping up plastic utensils in napkins for a barbeque, and as usual he wanted to be in the thick of things, and, of course, we wouldn't let him lie in it. so once my mom's back was turned, he got in and peed in the box of utensils... looking right at her.... look right at us and go....

when he was healthy, he was a bit of a germaphobe, for lack of a better word, he hated to touch the litter with his paws, and would have all four paws on the edges of the pan...

That being said though... he was the biggest suck in the world too.... a true cuddle monster.... but i also think he was taken away from his mother too early, several behaviours pointed to that...

However, when he got old, he did start to go places, all over the basement, I don't think he could help it... complications of old age sickness... we eventually had to have him put down he couldn't control his bowels... poor thing...

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
