    ive been tryin to watch her as she poops lately and i think she is constipated. she sits there for a bit then it finally pops out a bit. It comes out a bit and she thinks i fell so she starts walkin so i falls outta the litter somewere =[ Is it because shes young still? i added a bit of water to her food too.

    You are probably right that she thinks she is done. This problem is most likely because she is young. (How old did they say she was?) Once her system adjusts to new food and she's had her first vet visit, you should see this problem resolved.

    Again, that first visit is a good chance to ask questions of someone who can see the kitten and give you a trained opinion about how to help her grow into a healthy happy companion. Please go as soon as you can.

    I once had a very young kitten that would dig deep holes in the litter, put her little butt over the edge of the pan and poop, then cover the hole that contained nothing... She stopped doing that within a week. It was just a matter of her not being coordinated yet. (That was my old Sootie girl who lived with me for 18 years. She was a sweetieand one of the best friends I have ever had.)

    Yes, try can kitten food and see if that helps her go easier... Being constipated is not fun.

    shes doing great! i started to give her can cat food and she loves it. She can poop much easyer now. Shes now comfortable where shes at so shes become a terror. I dont mind it tho. Well besides her wanting to play with her own dryed up turds lol. I havnt taken her to the vet yet because my best friends mom made me promise i would take to her and shes getting back from vaction this friday so im gonna take her in then. Also thank you all for the feedback n support. Ill also try to get some pics of her up ;]
