My cat recently had a litter of kittens (possibly the stressor to her recent problems?) and she has been having diarrhea in the bath tub as well as peeing on a bed. I don't know why she started peeing on the bed, but she has always pooped in the tub, it's just more recently.
I got her when she was roughly 3 months old off the street and she has always had diarrhea, but why has she been pooping in the tub and peeing on the bed?
She has two litter boxes - one in my bedroom where she sleeps and one outside of the bathroom - she has used both of them, but recently stopped using the one in my bedroom after I cleaned it out. She still uses the one outside of the bathroom occasionally.
She also does this thing where she'll poop in the litter box and then find a towel or plastic bag and pull it into the litter box to cover her poop instead of burying it in the litter and this only started after she gave birth.
Why is my cat doing this?

You might want to hold off on worming your cat while she is nursing kittens. Some wormers can be passed onto the kittens and it can be harmful to them. Chronic diarrhea usually means a cat needs a change of diet. You might want to try a cat food for sensitive stomachs, or a hypoallergenic food.
The bedroom may be too far for her. Are you using the same litter in both boxes. She may not like the litter in the bedroom box if it's different.
Also, you might want to contact your vet. She may need a change in diet. She may also have an infection or physical problem that is not allowing her to hold her waste.
Its the same litter in both boxes and she uses the box outside the bathroom. Last night she pooped on my bed so I gave her a bath and gave her worm medicine to see if it would help with the diarrhea but its the next day and it hasnt seemed to do anything
