quick question to you guys. my kittens are just over 3 weeks old now. loving it but have a few concerns. been a while since i had a litter around me again.

two of my little ones are pooing on there own but then seem a bit worried when they do. but to be honest thats not my concern its the color thats getting me is mustard in color!!

And the other little kitten he pees while hes walking and doesnt seem to find a corner and scratch and just sits for ages very still once hes done. my previous litters went strait to corner or the nesting area for peeing and pooing :/

tips please kitten lovers thanx :3

How is with your litter?  Ie the poo-pee litter? Moma has one, surely?  The kittens need one too now, a litter where they can easily come into.  Use a shallow tray, and a non clumping litter.  Better even a litter not of clay and not poisonous, if you have such at your place.

Good luck!

Peeing while walking isn't normal, and the mustard colour isn't something I've seen but it could be the food you've got them on.

Are they in a kitten pen? And watching their mum use the tray?

Our middle litter had weird colored poop at first and we found out it was just the food was too rich and going through their systems too quickly. Of course, they were bottle fed and these are eating off mom so I'm not sure how to go about that one. Do start offering them canned food though. They should start showing interest in it and watch mommy eat it and try some themselves soon.

If they're going on their own, give them a shallow litter box (we used a pie tin at first then bought a letter box from the dollar section at Target) and start getting them to use it. They should catch onto the litter box quickly.

As for the peeing kitten, is he trying to pee while doing it or is it just dripping out without him doing anything? If he's not trying to pee when he is, you have an incontinence issue. If he's trying to pee and is just peeing a lot take him to the vet. Our one kitten was doing that a couple weeks ago and we got her on an antibiotic and she's all better now.

Good luck with the babies.

Yeah, the peeing kitten needs a vet.   Begin at least to phone, but you will prob need visit.

The color of poo is prob nothing serious, but you can ask the vet about it at the same time.

Good luck!
