Hello, my kitten is about 9 weeks old. I just got her but she is already very comfortable already. However in the 5 days she’s been here she had only pooped about 2 or 3 times and she eats regularly. Is there a reason for this?

Thanks for using PetCoach. If she is eating well and has normal feces when she does go poop, I'm not worried. Just as in humans, there is a wide range of "normal". Anywhere from 3 times daily to 3 times weekly is perfectly acceptable as long as she is acting otherwise fine. Of course if the stool is very hard, there is straining, loss of appetite, a very bloated belly, or any other concerning signs, it's time to see the vet. Best wishes to you and Mochi!
