She's just scared, just set some food and water nearby, and the litterbox within her line of sight. Then all you can do is leave her alone and let her come to terms with her new home at her own pace. Don't worry, it shouldn't take too long!
Reply:I would think she is scared. This is a new situation for her and it will take time for her to get acclimated. If she is sleeping then I would leave her alone for right now. Every half hour take her to the litter box. She may walk out but this will teach her where it is at. Make sure she can get to it without having to go a long distance or through a noisy and busy room.





Let her rest for awhile, you may want o provide her with a cardboard box lined with a soft towel or small blanket. Turn it on its side or cut a hole in it so she can get in and out easily. That will give her a dim and quiet space to relax.





Be patient with her. She is experiencing all sorts of new sight, sounds and smells and is overwhelmed by it all.





After she rests for awhile, bring her out, cuddle her against you and talk softly to her while stroking her. Feed her somewhere quiet. Shortly after that, take her back to the litter box. Cats are genetically tuned to use it so it is very easy for her to learn this behavior.





She will begin to come out more and more as she gets used to her surroundings.





Just be patient and calm and she will end up being your best friend.





Be sure to take her to the vet asap so she can be vaccinated, wormed and tested for feline leukemia. Schedule her to be spayed as soon as it is age appropriate.





Good Luck. I hope this helps.

Reply:Usually a cat won't use the bathroom where they sleep but there are some unusual cats that do it. Just keep taking her to her pan and don't give up. She will get the hang of it but right now she is probably getting used to her new surroundings.
Reply:You kitten is just a bit nervous in her new home. Put some feed and water down, if your lucky she might feel hungry, but sometimes Kittens wont eat until you've had them for a day or two. Tehy need to learn to trust you. When it comes out, it might be hyper. hang out with it for a while, it'll eventually learn to trust you.
Reply:Cats are very smart and if you give her time she will get adjusted to the smells and noises and come out to eat and use the litter box. My advice is act as if you dont even have her and within the next few days she will be running around like a baby kitty should!!!
Reply:most animals will not do their business where they sleep
Reply:she might not be used to the surroundings of your home yet if she is recent to your house. and she is most likely just scared, but it could also be that she wants somewhere dark and warm to sleep under. is your shoe rack over top of a vent , if it is she probably likes the warm\cold air coming out of it and if she is sleeping she probably won't have any accidents under there but if she is awake she might. and when she isn't under there you could always move the rack and look to see if there is anything there. if you have any more questions about this i would be happy to help.hope you find the answer out to your kitten problem.
