I put down a towel under the litterbox, it's a big one and mainly to catch most of the litter she flings outside, and i've seen her poop on that before. So I'm not entirely sure. I haven't noticed anything that would have caused her to get fearful using the litterbox. I'll try to monitor her to see from now on, but it's hard to gauge when she goes poop.

Her name is Isabel. She's about 7 weeks old now. She's so adorably cute. Very active, we seem to be bonding very wonderfully. I did have a few issues the first couple of days adopting her. She wasn't eating or drinking and I was getting a tad worried. I knew of course that she was adjusting to the new environment but I was more worried about her not drinking. Thankfully I had a spare unopenned syringe from one of my other cats when they needed medicine so I used it to give her some water. Luckily that only lasted about 2 days then she started eating and drinking normally. Now though I have the problem of getting her used to the kitty litter. I made the mistake of using clumping litter and the first time she was inside, she started chomping on it and I immediatly had to remove it and buy new litter. I got the Arm and Hammer Feline Pine, but she hasn't used it yet. Per suggestion from the person I adopted her from, I put used kitty litter in with a small amount of the pin in a little box she can climb into without trouble, and put her in to sniff and attempt to get her used to it. Well didn't quite work, she pooped in the corner, so we scooped it up and dropped it in the litter, and put the little box where she pooped so she hopefully gets the idea eventually. I truly hope I'm doing everything right as the thought of doing wrong scares me. I love her to death and I do believe she is starting to love me too. She will turn on her back and play bite me, albeit a bit hard sometimes, but I don't believe it's out of frustration or irritation but out of love for me. My middle kitty, Chloe is actually very curious about it. She keeps poking her paw under the door, and the kitten does the same. Of course Chloe is hissing but that's to be expected.
On another note, I think I made a mistake with my Chloe she's a bit fat and I have to put her on a diet but i'm new to it. I've always left food in the bowl and kept it topped off and my oldest cat never really had an issue. So I don't know how to do this diet thing for them. I tend to put a 3/4th to 1 cup of dry food in the bowl at least once a day. If anyone knows of a better way I'd greatly appreciate any advice.
YER STOLE MAH KITTEH X-D!!!!!! Or cloned her.... or both >.>;....

Well I was worried putting the feliway in a small room indefinatly, I don'tk now if giving her too much of it is bad or anything.
Is it worth giving her another go with the 'safe space' and some feliway for a while? I do feel this is like a little stressed kitten in some way.
Ah ok. Well I mainly have it plugged into my room where she mostly resides/sleeps. We had a litterbox in the living room and we noticed small itty bitty poop, I'm thinking she is using that when she runs around the house. We haven't seen poop anywhere, i've checked nooks and crannies so hopefully she hasn't gone where we can't see it. Lets hope this holds and she gets the idea permanently :X
Well one of the litterboxes is covered with a giant dome, the other which I see her use frequently is uncovered. Now I do know when I went to look at her for adoption the litterboxes they had were uncovered. So far so good, I haven't seen poop outside the box, though I haven't gone on the ol butt biscuit "treasure" hunt >.>
Poop in the box is good.
One more thought - does you little lady like covered boxes or uncovered trays?
Back to my previous cats, one was a pee high kind of girl (same one that pooped outside the box) - I had to use a very high sided tray with cover or her pee would go everywhere...Also, some cats just don't like one or the other, or will only poop on one and pee in the other. Cats definitely have minds of their own!
Eh I'll be ok I'm just overly worried for my little preciouseseses X-D. Chloe is doing good for the most part. Isabelle seems perfectly fine since shredding the kleenex. In fact the woman who fostered her told me all sorts of stories about her now 17 some cats get into, that its fine and she doubts Isabelle even any of it. They like to shredd it and what not. She's pooped since and its fine. Now as far as Chloe she definatly isn't her normal self cause she's been sleeping moreso than often and at times she tends to shy away from Isabelle when the little one initiates play. They do play just not as often and long as she normally does. It almost seems like she has the equivalent of a heavy cold. My mother thought her nose felt warm too so I told the vet that but I just went to grab some dinner and I felt Chloe and no warm nose, either my mother thought she had one and didn't really have it, or it's going away. I'm wondering if it will be ok to leave it alone for about 4 days and see if it clears up on it's own? I hate to be taking her to the vet constantly and paying all this money and it's nothing more than a cat cold that went away on it's own. I don't know if thats a thing though but I'll keep an eye on Chloe every so often.
