At our old house there was a small hole going under the back fence and when a cat would be in the yard I would open the door for Kayla who would chase after them and they always went right through that hole.

After a while each time this happened she would poop right in the hole! I though it was the funniest thing I had ever seen... but thats more like marking territory I think, but very funny.

I don't know if it's spite, but it sure seems like it. Lady's owner left her with us and I believe that she is ANGRY. She gets into the garbage and pees in random places if we don't keep her confined when we aren't around. I think she thinks that if she misbehaves enough, her mom will come back. [&:]

That's not spite. That's a dog that doesn't know how to behave, when left alone.

Mine have to be confined, as well. They're not spiteful, they're dogs

Or, Lady may just be acting that way out of stress and anxiety... which of course are very different from spite and malice.

Spite - does it exist?
