Staci .... why do you let your parents tell you what pets you can or can't have? You are an adult, and it should be your business and responsiblity, right? Don't mean to butt in, just think it is sad you feel the need to hide your kitty.

As far as little one's litter box problem ... you may need to put her in a very small area, like a cage or crate, for a while. That way, she has virtually no choice but to go in her box. After she gets the habit, then maybe she will not have any more accidents! Hang in there!

Hugs,
