My feral cat's 10-day-old kittens aren't pooping. Is mom eating it?

Question

Hi there a feral cat had kittens in our house. They 10 days old and no sign of poop. She is feeding them well. I have tried to stimulate with no luck. Any advice would be great. Does she perhaps eat their poop as there is no evidence left if they have had a poop. Pet's info: Cat | Feral | Female | unspayed | 3 lbs

Yes, she may be eating their poop. If they seem fine I would not worry and just leave them be. You don't need to manually stimulate them if mom is around and taking care of them. Good question! Be safe!
