Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 6 days old
Hi, my 9week old kitten Cocoa (black kitten) and his brother came to live with us 2 days ago. He can’t seem to master the litter box even though he had no problems at his foster home. He has pooped both on the floor and in his box (after we kept placing him in) he also has red blood in his stool. Should I be worried or is it just nerves and stress? His brother had 1 accident but seems to have mastered it now. We have confined the area they are playing in. Eating lots and very very playful!

This is not uncommon, most cats should adapt to both the new enviroment and food within 3-5days. I would recommend adding a probiotic such as fortiflora and consider a natural calming aid such as zylkene to help with the transition. Be aure to keep kittnes regularly dewormed also
