Cat leaves poop around the house why?

I have a calico cat that leaves a little poop everywhere around the house. This is the first cat I have ever had that doesn't know how to wipe her own butt. It's very frustrating to have to pick up poop every time I turn around.

Hi
Are you sure she is accidentally leaving poop after the litter tray or is she deliberate pooping around the house.
i ask because there is something called middening which is a deliberate act by the cat. Please read this page for more on this issue here
https://www.our-happy-cat.com/cat-poo.htmlIf it is due to the fact that she is not able to clean herself properly after the loo there could be two causes. One she is unable to completely pass her stool and this could be due to difficulties due to constipation

I hope that i have given you a few possible options which you will be able to judge may be the most likely cause.
