The mother cat licks the derrier and stomach of the kitten to stimulate
bowel movements.

But I don't know at what age that stops.

I'd make sure this kitten is getting enough water and fluids.

I had a neighbor once who got a very young kitten from the Humane Society...less than 8 wks. They neuter them that early now. Was yours neutered? This kitten was bleeding from the rectum and had to be put down. (the surgery damaged it).
It is a very sad story. I remember the cries, and they were really awful.

I hope this resolves for your new kitten.

you may want to have him checked by your vet. just to make sure its not an obstruction too big or irregular shaped to get out.

Hi Cindy,
It's been a while. Am wondering how the kitty is doing?

[I might ask a Mod to put this down in the regular forum as I think it was not noticed much here]
