I really can't give you my opinion, because I really don't know what could be the reason of this behavior. But I know when my brother had a cat from the day one when they broth it to the house, she only peed in the sand that they have put near in the bathroom. And they really didn't have any problem with it.
Maybe ALG can give you his opinion.

They like a clean potty box. I know I wouldn't want to go scratching around in a dirty box.

When you own a kitty, you must make sure that you scoop the poop every single day.
Get a good clumping litter like Scoop Away (i use that one) When kitty pees, it immediatly forms into a ball, when he poops, it sticks to the litter making for easy cleenup.
If you buy a cheap clay litter that doesn't clump on contact, your going to have an awful sticky mess. Ewwww!!!
Scoop Away is $11, store brand is $5, for $6 dollars more it's so well worth it.
Kitty's hate dirty potties as they like to scratch and dig around, then they bury their business.

Yeah, they're essentially nothing like dogs. Dogs don't like things filthy but they sure as heck aren't as picky as cats. I can see why I like dogs better. Nothing against cat people!

BBfeet9, I would say what the cat has is a urinary infection. take it to the doc. had same type of cat same thing turned out to be urinary infection. HP

HOw can you tell that a cat has a urinary tract infection? It isn't like a cat can tell you that it burns when they pee. How do you figure it out?

You can tell when a cat has a uti because they will pee any where and they make painful groans whilst peeing. She did have one when i first got her 3 years ago and the vet cleaned it up right away. A uti for a cat feels the same was for humans, they feel an urgency to pee tho only a small amount will come out and it burns them to, just like us. She would pace around the house and make deep gutteral sounds, she would assume the position, if you will, right in front of my eyeballs. It may have been on the carpet, on the sofa, on my bed, anywhere the urge hit.
Cats choose to do their business in private and don't care much for prying eyes when they are trying to pee or poop, this is one of the clues that told me she was sick.
Thanks for all of your help with this matter, but sadly i don't have her anymore :'(

I asked him to please keep her as i just could not afford the extra "cat rent" if you will. It would have cost me an additional $250.00 security plus an extra $50.00 a month.
Come to find out he gave her back to the cat adoption agency where i got her. When i learned of this i was so sad but he was cocky about it and said, oh well, you asked me to keep her, i didn't want to, so i gave her back, hmmmph. I called him a heartless creep and told him that he should have talked to me about it. He then told me to "go to hell" {shrug}
Actually i just left hell, his hell. I may be financially strapped at this point, but it's all good.

No dark_red i just have to close that chapter. Even if i tried to get her back, the extra $$$ would kill me. Not only the $250.00 security and the $50.00 extra each month, but the food and the litter and not to mention the vet. To buy her back would be another $70.00 dollars.
I try not to think about her. I have a photo of her but i put it away for right now, i'll bring it back out soon. When my little grandson comes over he asks where is Allie and he looks for the photo that stood on the bookcase. : :'(

I'm really sorry that this is happening to you. You husband is really not a nice guy. You try to get as much as you can from him. (I'm sorry if I'm being little rood now, but he really is going on my nerves right now).
