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.

    Kiki's feces color could be due to food dyes in her food. As long as the consistency is normal and she is behaving normally, I wouldn't be concerned about it. I would make sure that Kiki is eating a kitten formulated food, however. Kittens need higher amounts of protein, calcium, and calories than adult cats, and a kitten formulated food will provide that for her.
