Kitty may be constipated. You should take it to the vet. It sounds like it's rectum is protruding a bit based on your description. This problem will only worsen if the cat dosn't get the vet care it needs. Please see your vet asap. Is the cat urinating? If not this is an emergency...go in tonight. If the kitten hasn't had a bowel movement in more than 2 days it should be seen tonight.

Hunter is right. If you were having that much trouble going to the bathroom that it made you cry, you'd want to see a doctor, too, right? This isn't something that can be fixed right away with a diet change. First, see the doctor for immediate diagnoses and treatment and then ask them what you should be feeding this little baby.
