Hi there, Recently adopted a 9 week old kitten yesterday. She didn’t eat for two days prior to her arriving with me yesterday. She has eaten with me since, quite a bit and drank too. She hasn’t defecated once though. Small urinations here and there but no faeces. Is this normal?

If she hadn't been eating and only just started back up again it may be a little bit before she has some stool to pass. I would keep an eye on her and if she doesn't go at all after a day of eating, or seems to be straining/trying to go and can't, or seems very bloated, take her to your vet for an exam.
