Yes, it could point to a health problem, especially if
the kitten had previously used the box religiously.

My two-year old, Athena, started peeing in the BATHTUB
once last year.  Interestingly enough, this was the only
way I was likely to notice the blood in her urine--cystitus
was the problem, but once I was "apprised", I had her
treated and she's fine now.  Smart cat.

It could also be a plea for more attention, but since I
don't know your circumstances, I can't tell.

Try (when the kitten "goes" in front of you) to pick her(?)
up IMMEDIATELY and PLACE HER IN HER BOX.  This usually gets
the message across.
