Thanks so much for the advice! I will definatly try the nature's miracle and the feliway. I put tin foil on my sofa this morning and it has worked so far... but, then, I still can't sit on my couch!



I haven't changed the type of litter she uses... I've always used feline pine. I must admit I'm not big on scooping through cat poo. My other cat, Jersey, doesn't require me too. When her box starts to get dirty she comes to me and meows (basically tells me it's time to change the litter), or I change it when I start to smell it. That's usually about once a week. I will scoop the baby's box out once a day if I need to, but I really don't think that's the problem because when her poop stank to high heaven because she was eating wet food she had no problem using the box, but now that's she eating only dry food and her poop hardly stinks at all, she's started pooping on the couch.



I'm worried too because we are leaving on vacation next week and our neighbors will be watching the cats. I think they won't have a problem with changing the litter once a week, but I sincerely doubt they will scoop through poo every day.



About keeping the litter box in the bathtub... Pandora is still too small to be able to jump that high. She can climb anything she can hold onto with her claws, but the bathtub is porcilain (obviously) and she wouldn't be able to get in. Even if I could find a way to get around that (use a step stool or something) I couldn't because of two reasons: my husband would never agree to carting a litter box around the house every time he needed to take a shower (he's a mechanic and gets really dirty so he showers like three times a day), and our bathroom door is tempermental so that if you shut it all the way (so the kitten wouldn't get out) it takes five minutes to pry it open again.



I feel like I'm playing devil's advocate here, but I'm really not! I'm just trying to find a solution that will work for both the feline and the human members of my family.



Thanks again!
