Hi there, I’m having a little trouble with my kitten. I have two males who are 12 weeks old. One of them has had a few accidents on our bed.
They are both very good at using the litter tray, however one of my kittens has weed on the bed on three separate occasions. He’s also had slightly looser stool than our other kitten. It’s not diarrhea or anything, but it is not as “log like” as his brother’s. It is still completely solid though, and a normal colour etc, and he is active, eating and drinking and generally a happy kitten. I was putting it down to the fact that their food and environment have changed since I took them home.
One time when he weed on the bed it was after I had cleaned him (he has extremely long fur by his bottom, which my other kitten does not have, and something had got caught). I used a warm wet tissue to clean him. So I’m not sure whether the warmth / wetness from cleaning him stimulated him to wee (I know people get get tiny kittens to wee/ poo this way)
I guess my question is - at 12 weeks are some (2-3 in the space of 3 weeks) accidents expected? Should I be concerned about his poo? I would take him to a vet but all the vets here are only allowing emergency appointments due to the coronavirus! He is a lively relaxed kitten otherwise, loves curling up on the sofa and is always purring and playing with his brother- so no behavioural changes that concern me.
thanks in advance- any reassurance or advice is welcome!
