Why are my 6-week-old kittens' poop light gray? Is it serious?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

A couple kittens have been having lighter poop but acting fine. Was grayer than this before. Is this a dangerous sign? (They are almost 6 weeks old)

This isn't normal and it can be a sign of overfeeding or a lack of production of bile. Even though they seem normal, you should still have them checked out by a vet to be safe. I'd take them into a vet this weekend for a health check. I hope this helps.
