 |  |  |  | Check his back end, and his back paws, to make sure, there is no poopies stuck to it, or diarea stuck to it. He may have stepped in his poopies. If they are clean, and the box is clean, then it just might be the smell of where he came from. Kinda like if walked into the bathroom, after someone, then you smell like the bathroom smell.
Another suggestion, is to give him a bath. Use Johnsons baby shampoo, use like just a dab, dilute it with water, in a plastic cup, then pour it over him, then rinse, rinse, rinse, and rinse some more. He's not going to a show, so you don't need to wash him above the neck. Mine are show cats, the kittens get their first training bath around 12 weeks. I have also used Suave baby shampoo. Just never never never never use dandruff shampoo, it will kill them.
It might also be his poopies that smell, and not him. What do you feed, and has he been wormed yet? Never use over the counter wormer products, and never never never use Hartz anything. Take him to your vet, and have him wormed with Drontal. Kittens are first wormed at 6 weeks. You might want to contact the shelter, and ask, if he was wormed, and when, and with what.
I would also ask, what shots he has had, and when, they should have given all this to you, when you picked him up. I would still take him to your vet, get a check up, and get on a shots schedule. You also want to get him Feline Leukema tested.
Hope this helps.    |  |  |  |  |
