I bought two litter boxes, thought probably the kitten kust does not like pooping and peeing in the same place, but no. I even put a marble piece into one of these litter boxes ( thought the kitten probably likes the surface and that's why popping on the floor). But still no. So, I'm angry and tired, I almost get used to it and just choosing one of these things from odor. This thread is just the last hope, do not want to spend $200 on air purifier. But you know, if you don't know what to advise, just tell me which one of the devices you have if you have one.
Hi HoneyPie, sorry to read about the kitten trouble!
First, I have a few questions:
1. How old is the kitten?
2. Does he have diarrhea, hard stool or is it normal?
3. Has he had a vet check up yet?
Since he is peeing in the box, I don't think that it is a training problem.
Kittens often have worms or other intestinal parasites, which can be very uncomfortable, so he could associate the litterbox with discomfort and goes somewhere else. If you haven't already done so, take him for a checkup, and have a stool test done and a general exam.

Good luck, and please keep us updated!
