What a cute kitten! I think she is trying to get your attention and wants out of the box. She definitely needs more in the box with her, like a litter pan, canned kitten food and water. She wants to play and be out and run around! I recommend taking her to a vet to make sure she is healthy and parasite free and also start her vaccines. Good luck and kisses to the new kitten!
