Kitten stopped burying stools?
My eleven week old kitten stopped burying her stools two days ago. There
is nothing notable in them and I haven't a clue why. She just digs a hole, has her movement, and then moves on. She still covers her urine. Any ideas? She was doing fine from the day I got her at six weeks. No change in food, no change in litter, box, etc. Whacky, 'eh? -Ali |

Now three litter boxes later I have no clue how to get them to start burying the stuff again. |

Kitten stopped burying stools?
Some cats do not bury their feces or urine. You can try putting her in the
box, showing her the stool, and gently using her paws to cover it. I have had cats who bury their stool and not their urine. Also, I have had cats that did not bury any of their waste.

Tiger usually buries his stools but every once in a while he doesn't.

John Doe (the dude with lace on his drawers)...claims you can... dump the litter from pail to pail outside and remove the dust. |

MLB I'm pretty sure that's what Meep has in mind. In general, she buries if she uses the box when we're not home, and doesn't bury when we are. I was just noticing this myself a week or so ago.
