Is yellow, fatty stool normal for a screaming newborn kitten?

In many cats, a light brown or yellowish color can be normal to the stool. If it becomes more of a pale yellow/white yellow, or becomes loose or has mucus or blood in the stool, these would be reasons for concern and a visit to the vet should take place.

They are all so cute! If the stool is firm and otherwise normal, the color could be a natural variation, but it can also indicate a bacterial infection. If the stool is loose (like diarrhea), then I would suspect there could be a bacterial infection. To be safe, I would take Angel and kittens into the vet now for a check up. Bring a stool sample for the vet to examine. Best of luck.

Some variation in bowel movements can be normal especially in very young still maturing animals. However, I would monitor your kitten closely and ensure she is nursing frequently from her mother.

It looks like the one kitten may have a little diarrhea, which isn’t too concerning as long as the kittens are nursing well, gaining weight, and the stools form up a bit in a day or two. The black hard stool can be normal for the first stool passed, but I would keep a close eye on momma to make sure she is cleaning the kittens well. One of the best ways to make sure all kittens are thriving is to weigh them daily using a gram scale - they should gain every day.

It is possible Meshmesh could have intestinal worms causing his soft and yellow stool. Make sure he is up to date on his deworming treatments, giving him one if he isn't. He needs to be dewormed monthly until he is six months old, and then he should dewormed every three months thereafter.
