    I found a kitten and I think it's sick
    I found a cute cat 30 minutes ago and it seems sick. It doesn't want to move and just wants to sleep. He might be just tired because it's 10 p.m. but I want to make sure and I can't go to a vet right now.

    A kitten or a cat?

    Can you bring it indoors without threat to your own pets?

    Uhm kitten, sorry for the misunderstanding. Yeah, it's in my home right now. I only have another cat, kind of the same age so I don't think it's a threat

    If the kitten is sick, yes, you are putting your cat in jeopardy.

    What's so evident that you believe it is "sick?"
    Cat's normally want to sleep. Have you ever heard of the term "cat nap?"

    And how can I make sure it's sick? Or can't I? It might also be just tired, since it's not really old, maybe a month.

    Are you trying to be serious?
    She said the cat doesn't want to move... so moving it around and bringing it in the house... you think it should still want to just sleep through that?

    Where are you? Is there a vet or shelter open now?

    Kittens aren't "tired." Are you prepared to feed it every three hours with special milk?

    I am being serious. In their post, they did not utter once about "moving" it. But rather saying that it didn't want to be moved. It wanted to sleep.

    Perhaps it teleported into the house because she did say this:

    So I figure she found it like she said and then since it didn't just magically appear in her house, I reasoned that she had brought it inside.

    No, nothing's open, I would've taken it there if it was. I'm not in a really big town. It ate a little now and drank some water (when I took it inside it didn't want to eat) and it seems a little better now.

    Make sure the kitten knows where the litter box is. I'd keep the cats apart until after the vet check.

    I believe I had submitted my post before or at the same time that they responded to Wondergirl...


    But I rather do like the idea of teleporting.

    Perhaps it was dehydrated. Good thinking, HaruChan!
