I finally decided to make sure my kitten of almost 4 weeks went poop because I know its not normal and he had not pooped for a bout a week. I massaged his belly for 15 minutes and then the tail and opening and then i took a wet wipe and massaged the opening. he finally went!!!!!! My boyfriend says it was about 6 peas combined. I will continue to do that maybe day or evry other day. His poop wasnt hard but it wasnt toothpaste consistancy either. I used veggie oil for 1 1/2 bottles but he didnt seem to like it....any other suggestions?
