Hi, This is Dr. Johnson. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I see that Suga is about 3 weeks old. I am assuming you are hand raising him. I recommend that you take a warm soft cloth and gently wipe the genital area. When kittens are raised by their mother the mom licks them after they nurse ti stimulate the kittens to eliminate. Good luck!
