Hi:
 
    I'm a new subscriber with three kits, two aged 14 weeks and one age 6
weeks.  My problem is with a 14 week old, Binky.  She is always missing the
litter box in the kitchen (thankfully I have tile floors), especially when I
am present.  This is not a new problem with the recent addition of her
little brother, Possum.  Is this a ploy for more attention?  I don't think
it could be out of jealousy because I give them all lots of attention.
 
    I've heard that some people reward their babies for "making" in the
litter box and then the little critters start faking it so their persons
will give them a treat.  I really don't want to get this started with Binky.
I praise all of my babies when I see them using their litter pan.  Does
anyone have any suggestions, or should I just learn to live with it?  I'd
say Bink uses the box about 75% of the time; much less than her brothers.
 
    Thanks!
Chad(frustrated person), Binky(ms. stealth pottybomber), Jackson(bemused
brother), and Possum(new carpetshark on the block)
