How often kittens pee will depend on the kitten and how much food and drink it has had. However, it is important to note that very young kittens are unable to urinate on their own. They need their mother to help them with this or they can become very ill.

At such a young age, kittens need encouragement to go to the bathroom. A mother cat does this by licking a kitten's rear end to encourage the kitten to defecate or urinate. If the mother is not present, you can replicate this action by gently massaging the kitten's genitals with a warm, damp (not wet - this will cause a chill) cloth until the kitten produces waste. You will need to do this around every two hours around the clock (which is the same rate they will need feeding at that age). Kittens will usually be able to defecate on their own at about 2 and a half to three weeks old.

Some kittens will "scoot" around in their bed/nest, so any blankets/towels will need to changed at least twice a day. Its imperative to keep the kittens clean and to lower the risk of any infection/illness.

Hand rearing very young kittens is an incredibly tough job. It is highly advisable to get a vet to check the kittens over and they will be able to give you lots of information on how to look after the kittens properly. Due to their age, kittens still need milk, and the milk from a mother cat is the best they can get. Look around for someone or a shelter that has a nursing cat who can take on one extra kitten. A lot of Queens do not mind the extra mouths to feed, especially if producing more than enough milk or have lost kittens of her own.

A three month old kitten should defecate about once or twice a day. Excessive defecating, as well as feces that has a liquid-like consistency should be of concern.
