While i was working some guy randomly dropped a box of kittens off where i work and he ran off… (i work at a walmart store.) and we ended up giving them all a home and i ended up taking this little girl home with me http://imgur.com/isW4X shes about 4 weeks old (according to the vet i took her to) and when i brought her home she took a poop and it looked like mustard and the vet said it was normal, but she hasent pooped in 2 days is that normal for a kitten her size and age? and my 2nd question is i have another cat as well so this little guy is number 2 and shes too young to be tested for feline leukemia so what are the chances that she could have this nasty disease and i have the kitten in a big plastic bin enough room for litter/food/bed/toys is that ok to keep her in there? and to bring her out of there when my other cat is not around?

We got Rocky at three weeks and he pooped every two to three days until this last week and now he poops every day. I’m not sure about the mustard thing though I didn’t have that problem with Rocky.

I don’t see why your kitten living in the plastic bin would be a problem. Rocky currently lives in our bathtub with all of his toys and litter etc.

Such a cute baby!!!

I think she’ll soon need more space to run and move around in. can you keep her in a different room, or in the bathroom if you don’t have the space. I’d keep her seperated from your other cat until she can be tested, just to be on the safe side.

well in less than 12 days she will get tested for any diseases but so far she seems heathy, she can even run faster than i can lol.. I live in an apartment and i dont have any extra rooms nor can i keep her in the bathroom due to it being used frequently but thats why i bought a huge plastic storage bin and i take her out and play with her when my 1 year old male isent around.

she is adorable, i instantly fell in love with her the 2nd i saw her. i just hope she dosent have anything but when i took her to the vet yesterday to try and get her tested to see if she has anything and the vet said that she looked healthy, but couldent be tested because shes still too young.

thanks for the advice guys, i ditched the heartz milk replacer and went with KMR and 4 hours after feeding her that she finally by herself took her first poop in her own box.
