Good morning!
Thursday night a stray kitten walked up to my boyfriend and he decided to keep her! I have some questions about her since I've never really taken care of such a young baby.
We think she's about 6-7 weeks old.
Her tummy is kind of hard, since we've had her we have not seen her poop or pee.
We did try to stimulate her to make her go but no luck.
She seems to be crying/meowing a lot.
She's had formula and formula mixed with wet food.
We've set up a litter box for her and have put her in it and scratched her paws in the litter but she hasn't taken to it and we haven't seen anything in it.
Also, she seems to get in the poop position and cry but nothing comes out and she seems to do this most of the time.
She seems very needy, I know this is because she is without her mother and brothers/sister, but I also worry that there's something wrong with her. But before I freak out and take her to the vet for "normal" kitten behavior I wanted to get y'alls opinions. So any advice on what to do or what might be wrong is greatly appreciated!!! I do plan on taking her to the vet soon but didn't know if I needed to do it RIGHT NOW!
TIA!!!
