Not a Pooey smell, just a bit whiffy

He will smell sweeter after castration - which unless you plan on him breeding is the most resonsible thing to do anyway!! He can be neutered from 6 months old - until then, give him a bath, use very gentle shampoo and a couple of drops of tee tree oil in a final rinse ( keeps fleas away) and he should be a much sweeter kitty!

Bless the wee minger, he is only a kitten, you can get some mild shampoo that will help to keep him in better condition, if you have not long had him then this could just be the smell he has come with and will go within time, or again if you have not long had him he could have picked something up from either his ma or a pet shop depending on where you got him from.
Make sure his skin is ok and he doesn't have fleas or ticks etc, to be on the safe side you could always take him to the vet just to get him checked out, but I think with a wee bit of TLC and some dee fleeing and some cleaning and brushing then kitty should be ok.
You should also check to see there is no cuts on him as when my little minx got a scratch the other week where the hair went into it with the blood and I didn;t realise it stunk, but after cleaning it up etc she smelt more like her normal self

Try bathing him, if the smell returns then he may have an infection, if this is the case then you must see a vet.
Its a lot of nonsense they lose the smell when they are neutered, my cat didnt smell as a kitten.

If you are ever going to bathe him now is the time before he gets too shirty about it.
A healthy kitten or cat has no "smell" so his diet may be bad and neutering is important because no human can live with the smell of that urine!

Its because hes an intact male. All male animals smell a bit worse than their female counterparts because they can spread their scents to mark their territory. A neutered cat will not have the scent production, so he should smell better.

Tom cats usually mark their territory with sprays - that's the whiff you can smell. The snip will remove this need and sort out the smell.

Just rub him down with a damp wash cloth he should smell sweeter then, when he's old enough take him to the vets and have him done,

Give him a bath at least once per week, and use a highly scented shampoo. You can use people shampoo on cats, too, I asked a vet. Just make sure not to get any in it's eyes!

Wash him with Johnson's baby shampoo. That always makes kittens smell good.

get him neutered as soon as possible. That will help with the smell a little. Neutered cats don't spray or anything.
