Why is my kitten pooping in the bathtub but still using the litter box?

Question

Hi! Three weeks ago i adopted a 2 1/2 month kitten. The first 2 weeks she did you poop in the litter box. As of Monday, she's been pooping in the bathtub on top of the drain. She still pees in the litter box. I was thinking that maybe i should scoop the poop and place it in the litter box and then show her where she should good. What do you think?

I recommend you get her an extra tray - many cats will not reuse a tray once it is wet/dirty. Placing the new tray in the bathroom (or tub) until she accepts it or closing the bathroom door to prevent access should help to create new toilet habits which are more acceptable!
