My housemate's 10 week old kitten has started crapping everywhere. When we first got her (6 weeks) she ALWAYS used the box; now she seems to NEVER use it, if the little presents we keep finding are any indication. This isn't just overnight, she does it all day too. Scolding her seems to have little effect - she'll go right in front of you. I've never had this problem with a cat - they're usually so fastidious - and all the tricks that work with a puppy just don't seem to help. We've tried changing her food, confining her in a room with her box less food - nothing works. Could this be a health problem (worms?) Any ideas? Liz Vaughan ....tektronix!tektools!lizv
