Hester (11 weeks) has always used her litter tray, ever since we brought her home 2.5 weeks ago. However recently I have noticed that she does a lot of digging in the box, kicking a lot of litter out in the process. She seems to like to dig herself a hole to go in, and after she poos, she scatters it around the box and tries to bury it as deeply as she can. I don't really mind her doing any of this, the issues are really 1) she plays with the bits of litter outside the box and I suspect her of eating them, and 2) whenever I approach the box, either to clean it or to sweep up the scattered litter, she hovers around, poking her nose into the box. She almost seems upset that I'm taking her poo away. Is this normal behaviour, and if not, what should I do about it?
We use Catsan litter, because that was what Hester's mother's owner used, and we have a kitten-size box, uncovered.
