Worms causing litterbox problems?

When I got my kitten Drusilla back in July, she had fleas and tapeworms. I got rid of both and she's been fine and flea free since. But the past few days she's been pooping in her crate when she's in there. She doesn't spend a huge part of the day in there, maybe only 1-3 hours, so I couldn't understand why she couldn't just hold it. Especially since I feed her at least 6+ hours before shes in there and she's used the litterbox before going in. But then yesterday, I saw her tapeworms are back, despite her being on Revolution and me having no idea how there are still fleas hanging around.

Could the worms have been causing her to have to go more frequently or to go in an innapropriate place?

Natural pet remedies work really well for parasites. I get a lot of things from pet alive on the internet that are healthy and natural. With the natural's, you can give to your cat on a regular basis without worrying about toxing your cat.

If shes kept in a crate with no litterbox even if its only from 1 to 3 hours. She probably has to go poop and can't hold it. That would be my guess. No cat should be kept caged up with no place to go to the bathroom. Put a small litterbox in there so she can go in it if she has to.
If I had to go Poop! I sure could not hold it for 3 hours. And probably neither can your cat.

I strongly disagree with this statement, and here is why. Worming medicine is given out based on the type of the worm that is involved, the weight of the cat the health of the cat. A lot of these natural pet remedies do not work. Some are even harmful. Always work a worming program with your vet.

If you cat is finding mice and eating them, she will get tapeworm. If the fleas have built up a resisitance to the pesticides used against them she will get tapeworm. She may not have fleas, the host worm may still be inside of her though, which is why you should contact your vet.

I am not going to say don't work with your vet. I'm very pro vet. I was just mentioning an alternative.
