They are all so cute! If the stool is firm and otherwise normal, the color could be a natural variation, but it can also indicate a bacterial infection. If the stool is loose (like diarrhea), then I would suspect there could be a bacterial infection. To be safe, I would take Angel and kittens into the vet now for a check up. Bring a stool sample for the vet to examine. Best of luck.

    The color I'm not worried about, but the less active part I am. Newborn kittens are very fragile, so I would have her seen by a vet immediately. Take her mother and siblings with her to the appointment. Best of luck.
