Spiteful Cat

My Mom is away. I am looking after her pets. She’s got two dogs, a cat, two birds and two fish. You would think the cat is the easiest to take care of. He’s not. He gets mad and often spiteful when she’s away. This time around he stopped using the litter box on the second day. I found him pawing in one of the garden planters that my Mom has in the bathroom and a couple of minutes later he pooped right in front of it. Then he looked at me and meowed, as if to say “ha”. How bad, and how fresh! Thank goodness she comes home this weekend.
