I've adopted a precious little 9 week old (approx.) little brown tabby boy and I've never had a kitten this young. He's a little pooping machine!
It's perfectly formed and not runny at all. He's eating some of the same food as my adult cat and his feces have the same odor, which is not quite so lovely. He's had 2 de-worming treatments of Strongid. My real question is how often do these guys poop?!? It seems like he eats, he poops. He eats, then he poops!


You can read his rescue story here: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=218087

When they are young, they are supposed to be stimulated every time they did ate.
I suppose he has the same in him. The same tempo like last year.




Btw - eating some of his food of the grown up cats food is surely OK, but he should also have at least some of his food kitten food.
I presume you know it and are giving him?



Tx - and good luck!

He's eating plenty of kitten food, believe me! LOL He gets free fed a combination of RC kitten and TOTW dry. He gets canned food 4 times a day as well. Right now, we're feeding him Wellness grain-free kitten and EVO kitten/cat canned. I kinda figured it was just like a human baby, eat, poop, sleep.
