Home setup - 1br with two cats. One is about 2 years old & we've had him for over a year, the kitten is 4 months and has lived here a month. They both seem to love each other, they were grooming each other and happily eat together. We got her because I had to stop working from home and figured 1st cat could use a friend. So far the friend thing is working out.
My kitten's started pooping in the tub once a day. She's a tiny 4 month old baby so she goes about 2x a day. She pees in the litter box. She uses the litter box if she knows we're home. But the second my husband and I leave the apartment, she poops in the tub. I was home all day and was so proud of her for not doing it today, but I left the apartment for literally 30 seconds (locked the door, realized I forgot something, came back in) and she's in the tub! If we stay in all weekend, she does it in the middle of the night when we're sleeping. At first I would take it to the litter box and show her that I was covering it with the litter. That didn't seem to do anything. When I caught her doing it I yelled at her, but mostly "KITTY WHY", so that probably didn't help either. We took her to the vet and everything is 100% fine with her. I scoop the litter box 2x a day, and we change the litter entirely every 3-4 weeks.
We live in an apartment that unfortunately has a lot of carpeting, so we don't have too many options for where the litterbox is or for adding a 2nd one. It's either the kitchen (where their food is, and is about 4ft by 3ft), or the bathroom where it currently is.
