Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is a bit unusual. I would say that if this becomes consistent, this may be due to her not liking the litter box material or perhaps the litter box itself. You could try changing the litter box and/or the material to see if that resolves the issue. Good luck!
