Take her to the vet to exclude health issues such as bladder infection. Do you know her backgrounds? What litters did the breeder use and was the kitten taken away from mom too early? Until you figure out the reason you could try pet diapers (for traveling ones) as well as try teaching her to use the litter box.

Agree I would make sure there is a UTI involved first. Also are you cleaning with an enzymatic cleaner? If not you need to buy some or they will continue to go in the same areas. You can also try buying Kitten Attract litter as well.

@cidem great advice shared, we are here for you. I personally would check with ve and ask to rule out any chance of stress Urinary tract infection? bladder?

I adopted a male bengal years ago, stud cat retired, got neutered. I changed his litter, added extra litter boxes , seemed to like larger boxes and I removed flap doors on covered boxes. I always added at least 1 extra litter box per kitty.

the vet said I could try Buspar meds.

I got dr elseys unscented litter. I kept a treat jar near the litter boxes. as soon as he walked in box, praise. as soon as he exited litter box I gave praise and immediately a treat on the floor right outside the box . he quickly learned . I used random treats thereafter for his whole life.

keep us updated often. here is a link


breeder recommended mr max anti icky poo. II got online, amazon etc.

@cidem , thanks for the update. you can also ask your vet for info on pyometra, inflammation of uterus seen in non spayed female dogs and cats. to share as info, it can be life threatening so just wanted to make sure you are aware of and your girls are good. hugs n head smooches
