It's really hard to diagnose what may be going on here. My cat had a very soft stool this morning. He gets different types of wet food and this could have caused the problem. When a cat is sick or has a parasite, they will usually get diarrhea which causes them to use the litter box multiple times a day. My Raiden poops once a day, so when he's going three times a day, there is a problem.
Hopefully, this is just a one-time thing and not a nasty parasite that has appeared. Your cats are indoors, but doesn't necessarily mean something hasn't been "hiding" its nasty little head. And when you have TWO cats, you can get cross contamination.
A feline probiotic can't hurt a cat, although with a kitten, I would only do 1/2 a dosage at a time. You can try this and see if it help, but if the soft stool doesn't firm up, then you might want to take the cat and a sample to the vet to be checked out. It is ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry. As long as your cat is eating and drinking okay, I would keep an eye on this. If it doesn't firm up within three days, then I would definitely take the kitty to the vet. If the stool starts to firm back up, you are probably okay.
