My cat has been shitting infront of the litterbox for a while now but the strange thing is, its always on the same place, and she still does shit in the letterbox, but also outside.

Many days i wake up and stand in shit and its been so annoying

How bad does her shit smell? My cat has Inflammatory Bowl Disease. When she has a flare up, her shit smells absolutely horrific, she strains a lot, and poop often ends up outside the litterbox.

The other suggestions in this thread are great. I'd add take her to the vet and explain the situation. Also see if they can express her anal glands. My cat also had massively clogged anal glands which didn't help anything.

Good luck.
