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. Scott J. Berry
