How old does a kitten have to be to poop for the first time?

Answer 1

it should as soon as it starts eating, if it doesn't then it has a problem and you might want to talk to your vet, but its hard to tell with newborns, so don't make a false alarm, usually the poop is very tiny, when they're first born. So it's hard to tell

Answer 2

It depends on the kitten. Some of my kittens needed a week or more to really start moving around. At about three weeks they start walking well. Then there was this one orange one who climbed the 6-inch wall around his cat bed and made it all the way to the floor when he was three days old. He managed to wake me up to put him back in, too. Oh, that was a loud cat.

Answer 3

This depends on the age of the kitten. For very young kittens (very newborn or even a couple weeks), the kitten's natural mother takes care of both ends of her baby. By licking the kitten's abdomen, she stimulates the bowels and bladder and tidies up the resulting mess.

Older cats should be going at least once a day to a couple. Stool should always appear firm, never runny.

Answer 4

Mum cats lick the genitals (bottom and vulva) of her kittens to stimulate them to urinate and defecate (by the way, kittens under the age of four weeks rarely excrete; they just do a few drops of urine, usually). By five weeks, their mother begins to teach them how to use the litter-box. By six weeks kittens should be able to use it just fine. Kittens can also easily be trained to use the human toilet, but should start training under seven weeks old. They need to get used to their litter-box and feel comfortable using it, as toilet-training will involve shifting and moving the litter-box from here to there. However, after seven weeks old, the kitten should be ready to start training.

Answer 5

Kittens will excrete waste on their first day of being born. However, the mother cat will stimulate the kitten with her tongue and eat the kitten's feces, so you won't find little piles of kitten poo laying around, until the kittens are older.

Answer 6

kittens usually can start to walking at a very young age. usually they can walk by the first week of their lives. they cannot open their eyes though.

Answer 7

they crawl at first then within 2 to 3 weeks they take off like little bullets, have your camera ready!

Answer 8

Younger than a year old. However, this is not ideal as this can be very dangerous to the mother and the unborn litter.

Answer 9

As soon as possible (after a few weeks). If you have another cat pay attention to when they use the littler box, and put the kitten in the box with the cat. they will catch on quickly!

Answer 10

Newborn kittens need stimulation from the mother's tongue to be able to go to the bathroom up till they are about 3 weeks old.
