If a kitten does not defecate for one or two days it is usually not a big problem, but stool keeps building and hardening in the intestines, making defecation difficult; the owner can give honey water, hairball paste, or olive oil to lubricate the gut. If the cat has not defecated for over three days, it may cause colon obstruction or megacolon, so take it to a vet for enema or medication, and severe cases may need surgery..
