my cat is absolutely adorable, but she has some bad habits. She is
peeing fairly consistently in her litter box, but she seems utterly
unwilling to crap in the box. I have been cleaning the box quite
regularly, and nothing seems to be changing. My mom wants to get rid of
her, and I am running low on ideas. We have had her checked for any
physical problems that might lead to this, but found nothing. While I
would appreciate any responses, professional opinions would be most
appreciated.

Add a second box. Many cats prefer one for peeing and one for pooping.

I agree! This is often the only problem. Also, make sure that both boxes
are cleaned frequently. I would start with the boxes close together, but
you may need to experiment. Some cats prefer to have them in different
rooms -- and you might even need to experiment with different types of
litter.
