Are you going to starve the crap out of him? J/K Just feed it normally and give it dry food.

How old is your kitten? If you're feeding him wet food or milk, that could cause diarrhea. If he's over eight weeks old, you may want to try dry kitten chow if you're already not doing so. Don't take away his food- kittens need to eat multiple times a day, unlike adult cats.
If the diarrhea doesn't stop, you may need to consult a vet. He could have worms or some other problem.

Make sure this Kitten isn't eating regular table scraps and soft wet food. Our cat Sugar has no diarrhea but when she had whiskas wet food she did.
and the first food we started her with was Purina one Kitten wise, chicken flavored. She now enjoys Purina one Chicken and rice. If you look at the link sometimes they offer free Kitten food. You can also buy it at Walmart and almost anywhere.

I just answered a question very similar to yours.
Get him to the vet to get tested for Coccidia. Many kittens are prone to this infection of the intestines. Instead of trying to stop the diarrhea, take him to the vet and stop the cause.

Diarrhea in a kitten is dangerous, take him to the vet and have it correctly diagnosed, some diseases can kill them within 5 days. There is only one treatment and that is what your vet recommends.

Did you change the diet, is the cat allowed outside (to snack on vermin), maybe the diet isn't the correct diet for him.
Or vet him, but they'll probably just ask you the same questions.

Are you feeding your kitten cow's milk, because if you are thats probably whats causing this.

Give him some Immodium or Pepto Bismol. They test it on animals in the first place.

just see what happens in a couple of days and if it continues call your vet.
