okay about a month ago we got rid of our 5 month old kitten because it kept eating my baby's cups with milk. Well I ended up giving it to my mom and well she kept it outdoors. Mom lives in like a ranch with a lot of animals on a big piece of land. Anyway my older daughter went out to visit my mom and saw the kitten & of course remember it and asked if she could bring it back. I told her it was okay. The 1st night here we took it a bath and it bite my husband's hand. Wierod because we used to bathe it all the time. 2nd day I was holding it and it tried to bite my finger. Later that night it actually bite my daughter's chin. Very light but enough to leave a little mark on her face. Since then the kittens been a bit weirod it meows a lot, very hungry, her bottom jaw is very shakey, her breath stinks and she has a lot of salva coming out. Now its not foaming its just kind of like water that comes out and she keeps sucking back in. Help is the kitten safe to bring back in?

take they kitten to the vet ASPA.
could be rabies, not likely, but possible. whateve rit is it sounds serious. however the biting may just be because you gave her away and made her live outside. cats hold a grudge. if you find out her biting has nothing to do with being sick give her time and she'll get over it, especially once you treat her and make her feel better.

I hope this cat was vaccinated before letting it roam lose outside..it could have picked up any number of cat diseases. Hopefully it is somthing that is not serious, maybe an abscess tooth, or an absecess or infection. It could just be that the cat has become accustomed to not being handled as much if it mostly stays outside. Also, cats usually don't like to be bathed and since it has not been bathed in a while is probably very uncomfortable with it. Cats bathe themselves, no need to stress the cat and yourselves out. I think you need to take this kitty to the vet and see what is wrong, then you can decide if you want to bring it back home or not.

I'd get this kitten to the vet asap. Something is wrong with it causing distress and saliva. I would not keep it around the baby just in case. Could be an upper respiratory thing, but it could be worse. So a vet call should occur as soon as possible.

Your kitten needs to see a vet asap. It's stressed and likely sick. It probably doesn't remember your family and is very stressed by having it's environment changed and the shaking jaw, stinky breath and drooling make me think she's sick. Don't just leave her outside, be a responsible pet owner and take her to the vet.

Something is definitely not right. You should go to the vet as soon as you can. The cat is probably in shock because of being in a place so different than what it has been in but still, the way the cat is acting is weird and I think something is definitely not right. Call the vet!

specific. Our cats are lots extra understanding with our 10 month previous son. They enable him pull and poke and prod on them. we've made it a element to deal with our cats lots and to socialize them.

It seems to me your entire family should go to see a doctor immediately. The cat is sick and very likely it has transmitted the virus to your family already. Kill the cat and go to see a doc quick!!
