Hello,
I just adopted--Monday--a 10 week old male kitten (Delbert). I have scheduled his first vet appointment for Saturday but I'm worried about his litter box behavior.
The last 2 days I've noticed him cry when he has a bowl-movement. The stool is loose but not super watery. He seems to go often but the amounts are no more than a 1-2 tsp. He always uses the box, eats very well, drinks plenty of water and is bright and active.
I think it is probably soreness from the loose stool and need to go often. His diet is different in my home (Solid Gold Indigo Moon (which my other cats eat)). I have added a bit of wet cat food as well but he likes to dry better.
So I'm hoping all is well and I'm just being a worried cat-mom! I'm sure if there is a problem the vet can find a good reason. In the mean time I just worry and wonder if anyone has any suggestions or comments.
