I know this sounds like a odd question,but I want to make sure there's nothing wrong with her.
I have to scoop her litter box everyday.If I wait and do it every other day it looks like I've got 2 or 3 cats.I've had other cats in the past(one at a time) and never seen one poop so much.She is controlled fed,so I know that's not it and she eats and drinks ok.

Quality of poo is much more important than quantity - seriously!
So long as your kitten's poo is normal - i.e solid objects, sort of a middle-dark brown colour, not mucousy or runny or any weird colours - it doesn't matter, it simply means your kitty is eating a lot of good quality food, and processing it correctly! Also, be sure you're worming your kittens correctly - the only other potential poo-problem.
Sorry to be graphic, but it's the only way!

Well, there are a few factors here. First of all, if you have just adopted the cat - she could just be getting used to new food. The cat's digestion system is so delicate that even when you change their food it makes them poop more. Try waiting a week or so to see if it gets better. By the way, it is totally normal for a cat to poop about 2 times a day. She could also just getting emotionally adjusted to her new home. I say, wait a few weeks to see if she gets better. You should, though, take her to a vet and just make sure that she is totally healthy, if you didn't do that already.
And another tip for you: try to get her to poop on crystal-type sand. It doesn't leave any smell and it's very clean.
What you need to do is to use both - regular sand and crystal sand. Then gradually switch to crystal sand until she gets used to it.
Enjoy your new cat!

my cats only poop like two times a day... but it seemed like a lot more when i had to scoop the urine clumps too. I have a cat Genie now (it scoops the poo and flushes it away!) With that i have noticed it seems like it is not as much as before (when i had to scoop it) Also with this handy little cat box the urine goes underneath and flushes away so all you see is the poo. Push a botton and it's gone... check it out.

Yes, that is normal. He has started a new type of diet - his body needs time to get used to it. In a week or two it should ease of and get less watery - if its still watery after about 2 weeks I'd see the doc again.

Every cat I've ever had poops about that much. I wouldn't worry. If you do get worried though, I'd call a vet's office and ask them, just to be on the safe side.

My cat did that for a while and our vet said to switch her food.
You might try giving your cat some yougurt some times that
helps if not you might take it to the vet.

Yes this is normal. I know many cats that do this, actually mostly.

i'd be more worried if the cat didn't poop at all or if it had weirdly colored or textured poo.
