We just got a 5 week old cat and he wont pee or poop and it has been over 24 hours. He seems very active whe nhe is awake. We are very worried any suggestions?

Answer by Kate
he is very young and normall the mother cat will stimulate the kitten to go to the toilet. It could well be that she needs some help from you.

Please see my page about kitten care for some advice on this. It is not that unpleasnt but could be essential to your cats health.

If you still get no joy then seek advice form a vet.
