You need to use a cotton square, or a baby butt-wipe,
and get it damp with warm water. Then rub the kitty's anus
in a gentle stroking manner.
I know this sounds disgusting and bizarre, but mother
cats lick their kitten's backsides to stimulate the
kitten to go to the bathroom. (Incidentally, the mom
cat eats the feces too, but you don't need to go that
far! haha)
It's really important to get the kitten going to the
bathroom. If she doesn't, she'll get all stopped up
and bloated...
