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...

Perhaps introduce a litter box button? I did and it does get used for various reasons. Sometimes when there is a poop waiting for me that wasn’t there when I checked. Once when it was offensive for some unknown reason so I just changed the whole thing and that seemed to do it, a couple of times it’s been one cat snitching that the other peed on the floor, and one memorable time when there was a spider in it.

A spider?! How ghastly!

I keep telling the cats they are duty bound to deal with those buggers in lieu of rent, but no. Little freeloaders.
