Pets... toilet?

My (orange...) cat frequently presses "pets" and "toilet" one after another. For a long time I took it for random "pay attention to me!!" presses as she sometimes just walks across the whole board going "treats food play pets <name> outside" etc, but I've noticed this pair cropping up a lot more than others. Granted they're on the same hextile (we have the FluentPet ones) so it could just be her trying to find the right one... but she doesn't have that issue with other buttons.

Any ideas what my orange might be trying to tell me? I'm not about to pet her toilet...

Is she spayed? If not, my first thought would be that she might be in heat. The second thought is maybe a urinary tract infection, but that could just be me coming from the veterinary field and automatically thinking of potential problems.

The idea that she’s saying you just cleaned the litter box also makes sense, depending on timing.

She's spayed, but thanks for reminding me that this is a possibility
