kitten not acking right

[nallassister]

My cat had 5 kittens 3 months ago. There is one kitten that I am going to keep, It is a little boy and he has had all his shots, the whole works. But the past 2 weeks he has been crying a lot and sleeping allot. I cant see anything wrong with him, but I am getting a little worried. There might be a chance that he has a hernia, I have been watching it very closely. But is there something eles wrong with him. Oh yeah, he still eats, drinks, gose to bathroom, But today it seemed like he was having a little trouble pooping, it was hard and not much came out. Dose anyone have any ideas? Anything will be very helpful. Thanks!

Well, he's probably going to be talkative, but remember that by picking him up and cuddling him and giving him positive attention when he talks, you're reinforcing this behavior. As cute as it is, I hate nothing more than my very talkative half siamese waking me up at 6am because he's hungry! :)

I have noticed his poop is hard. I called the vet and he said he might be a little constipated.  I give stuff to help and see if he is better in 3 days.  He has 4 other siblngs and he is not the runt. When I talk to him he talks back all the time. He is really drawn to me more then the mother. He will cry and cry untill I let him under my covers and then he stops and purrs. Sence he has saimese in him do you think he is going to have the talking trait in him? I think he was talking before all this started up.

He is on hard kitten food. The mother still has some milk left and they try to drink when they can. I just got there mother spayed so she should dry up real soon.  Thank you all for your advise.

She's negative for feline leukimia? Kittens have a pretty high death rate, especially strays. It could be she's just expressing herself, but if he's starting to have bathroom problems, you may want to take him to a vet. There's a few dangerous periods where things can just go wrong internally...generally the problems are treatable though.

Is he on hard/wet food yet? still drinking milk? Able to get a teat? Is he a runt or "low man on the totem pole" when it comes to getting the mother's affection?

Siamese cats are pretty vocal.  I have three cats and one as a kitten screamed all the time...he's 4 now and still never shuts up.  However, the sleeping alot would concern me.  I have a 3 month old kitten also(not Siamese).  She basically plays until she passes out and if she even hears someone step on a toy of hers, she is up again and back at it....this is what kittens should be doing.

My new kitty was a stray.  I found her on Sat. brought her to the vet on Mon. and got a clean bill of health.  Over the next few days I noticed that she was sleeping alot and kept telling my husband that she should be playing more.  Of course, he thought I was overreacting but I took her back to the vet anyway on Fri.  She was dehydrated and had to spend 4 days in the kitty hospital.

Point being...If you can, I would take him back to the vet.  Just as we know our bodies better than anyone...we also know our pets!!!

I forgot to say this about my kitten. It is half siamese and I was reading a little bit about them and some of the stuff adds up a little. So if anyone knows anything about the Siamese breed please help.
Thanks again.
