Stimulating a kitten to pee is straightforward. Use a moist, warm cloth to gently massage the kitten’s lower abdomen and genital area. This mimics the mother cat’s licking behavior, encouraging the kitten to relieve itself. Perform this action after feeding. Ensure the cloth is neither too hot nor too cold to avoid discomfort. Consistency is key, so make this a routine part of their care regimen.
