This may sound weird!

I found my baby Freya in a Walmart parking lot and immediately took her home and now she's ours. The first night we got her, we put her right in the litter box right away and she did her business. Now she just keeps getting soft poop on her back leg, I don't think she's covering her poop right and also she digs then poops! Any suggestions???

She's just a baby and she's learning. They're messy at this age. She'll get the hang of it. All my cats dig, poop, cover. If she has soft poops, she may need to go to the vet and be checked for worms or have a food change.

totally normal! My humphrey would get poop on his paws and his hind legs too when he was 5-6 months old.
One time he even had a poo nugget stuck to the base of his tail! they learn and get better with age, i promise you!
