My new kitten poops all the time is this normal?

I just mean wind not actuall 'doings', it smells really bad and every time he comes near us he lets one go!
He does actually 'GO' about twice a day so i doubt hes constipated or anything.
Is this normal kitten behaviour?

Has he been checked by a vet? Flatulence is either a bacterial/micro-organism problem or a diet problem. Does your kitten have diarreah?

That is the problem, switch him slowly to a quality kitten food- IAMS is good

Then a vet check on the stool would be best because some bacteria don't cause diarreah but most do. Otherwise I'd say its still diet. His system may not be processing the food very well and a good premium food would be best (like Nutro from Petsmart/Petco).

Though this problem isn't common with cats, it is with dogs and most of the time its directly linked with diet.
