I recently found a stray cat and 4 kittens under my shed... we have been feeding her and have now moved her inside the shed with her kittens,she is now friendly and very happy.I have not noticed any bowel movements from the kittens and they are 3 weeks old... should I be worried?

Hey bro its normal for a kitten not to have bowel movements for about 2-4 days but after that if they don't something could be wrong I would take them to the vet.

Not to worry. The mom cat routinely cleans up the BM of the kittens for the first few weeks.

All right that sounds much better but if u don't c much after about a week or two more I would check into it k bro.

As Dr. D said the mother cleans up after them for a while. I would suggest that you put a small container by them with litter in it so when they start to move around more this will litter train the from the get go.

Good luck :)

My cat had four kittens in July and I didn't see any poop for a long time. Really good idea to put the litter tray nearby before the kittens start moving around. I didn't and they pooped all over the place for about a week.
