Question : How long are kittens at the stage where you have to rub their bottom to get them to go to the bathroom?
We are trying to hand raise a kitten that is around 2-3 weeks old. He fell out of a tree and with my mother being a vet we decided to hand raise him instead of the girls that found him trying to.

How long are little kittens at the stage were you have to rub their bottom to get them to go to the bathroom?
Oh Great. We don’t keep the kitten. We are only raising him for 2 girls that don’t know how and would probably kill him. So as soon as he is on solid food they are keeping him.
