Answer
I have heard of cats peeing on laundry, whether they are spayed or not.  They do it more when they are not spayed, but some cats never lose the habit.  Just keep your laundry up off the floor if you can.  That should help.  

Declawed cats have a very hard time with their paws after declawing.  They are very sensitive, and the act of covering her droppings is probably still painful.  She may never cover them again if she gets in the habit of not doing it now.  So, yes it is normal for her not to cover in the literbox.  Just a note of advice, if you have another cat, please consider not declawing it.  It is a very painful and unnecessary thing to do to a cat.  You can train them not to claw your furniture and it saves the cat a lot of misery.  Please write again if I can be of further help.  Hugs, Barb
