I recommend to have your kitten examined today by a veterinarian. Not pooping or peeing is concerning for illness and is not normal. Kittens should urinate at least 4 times a day if not more and have 1 or more bowel movements a day. The veterinarian can also give you an idea on the age of your kitten. Best to play it safe and have Bear examined today.
