First, you didn't mention what the kitten's stools are like. If the kitten is having diarrhea or soft stools, then the problem may be due to the diarrhea. Internal parasites can also cause problems with a cat pooping in the litter pan. Make sure your kitten is free of worms. (All kittens need deworming, and regular monthly deworming of cats and kittens as a routine is the best idea. Some kittens, especially if they are of breeds such as Siamese which have more delicate slower growing kittens, can even die from roundworm infestations if they aren't dewormed.) Protozoan infections such as coccidiasis and giardiasis can cause kittens and very stressed, ill, or old cats to show symptoms. Healthy mature cats usually have enough natural immunity that these parasites don't affect their health. Giardia and coccidia are present everywhere in the environment, and the belief that coccidia is related to cleanliness is a myth, a kitten in an extremely clean environment can develop coccidiasis symptoms just the same as a kitten from a less clean environment can. After the kitten is free of internal parasites, if the problem still persists, then you can try to put some of the kitten's own feces into the litter pan, so that when he has to go, he will smell his own scent in the pan. If you catch him getting ready to poop elsewhere, take him and put him in the litterpan and then praise him when he finishes his duties there. Cats and kittens like the litter pan to be in a quiet out of the way spot, and kittens especially may afraid to poop in a pan that is in a place where there's lots of noise, distraction, and traffic. One thing that often helps is to have two or more litter pans with at least one of them somewhere besides right beside the one the adult cat uses. The kitten may be intimidated by the older cat and poop elsewhere for that reason. Most cats will refuse to use a dirty pan, some cats are more picky about this than others. Multiple pans (kept cleaned with regular pooper scooping and changing as needed) often will provide the solution to this kind of problem, by giving a cat a clean place to go. (As one person put it clearly once, "When you go to the bathroom, you don't want to have to use a toilet someone else has used without flushing! Cats don't want to use a litter box that's too dirty either.") Little kittens often behave like small children too, playing and not taking the time to go potty until they are almost ready to have an accident. Then they may not make it to the litterpan in time. This problem is common with cats new to a house and very young kittens because of their age. To solve that problem, put litter pans at either end of the house and take your kitten to the litter occasionally to remind him where the litter is. You can also confine the kitten to a small room by himself for awhile, with food, water and litter of his own, to see if he will use the pan when there are no other cats, no noise, no major distractions, and nothing to make him nervous when he needs to potty. If he uses the litter when he's confined by himself this way, then its likely that anxiety about something is the root cause of the problem. If he continues to poop somewhere else, then you need to investigate further to determine the cause. (Putting a cat into a small space with litter, food, and water often helps retrain a cat or get a kitten used to the litter routine in his new home.) A kitten confined to a small space also cannot get "lost" at the opposite end of the house where he either cannot find the pan quick enough or cannot get to the pan quick enough to avoid accidents. Many physically healthy cats and kittens, when confined alone in a small space such as a bathroom or a cat cage, and provided with food, water, and clean litterpan, will get back into the habit of using the litter regularly as he/she should use it. Keeping the pan clean is also a must too. Make sure too, that you are feeding your kitten a good cat food and not giving him too many things like milk, etc, which can cause problems such as flatulence and diarrhea and make it tougher for a kitten to control its immature bowels.

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM :s ive put her litter box in a box so it is pravate and im trying to keep it quite i found this kitten on the street with friends and decided to take her home while i was about to sleep i saw her kind of shaking and she was having some kind of fit but that was the first time she did #1 and then did #2 and was soacking wet and frothing at the mouth i calmed her down ....ect and now she urinates but no stool since then its been 4 days and btw....my cats name is mika =) HELP!!

you should have 1 box per cat plus an extra 1, just keep putting her in the box, when she wakes up, when she finishes eating, during play time, every half an hour. She will learn
