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

My cats stopped doing that too. And I know the reason why....I made
the mistake of getting a litter maid.

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

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.

Does it matter? I scoop the box every morning, and don't really care
whether it's buried or not.

I don't think it matters. Now and then Matilda will leave a stool uncovered
and it doesn't matter to me. I remove the contents of the box daily but when
something is left uncovered, well, it just gets removed sooner than later.

Perhaps that is what she has in mind. MLB

this may have been said already..but maybe she doesn't like the litter
dust?
it might get in her nose you know...this may be what she is avoiding.

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

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.

Smart cat
