I got my feral to start trusting me, and holy crud did I open the love gates up. She sat in my lap for 3 hours today, TWICE. I took my laptop outside because there's a big stray dog that keeps scaring her and I figured if I sat out there she'd feel safer.
But there are two things that I'm concerned about. This cat has the absolute stinkiest breath I have ever smelled on a human or animal. it's SO bad, and smells like rotting flesh. like a dead animal. There are no outside sores I can see, and she eats very well (she's eating 3 cans of wet food per day).
Also, she's fine normally, but when I pick her up to cuddle she also drools more than any cat I've ever seen. To the point I have to change my shirt and wash my arms off every time she does it.
After a while it will subside but it won't stop. She has long lines of drool hanging off her mouth.
She can't be more than 3 months old, and I'm a little concerned. I put a heated cat house out the other day, and she's completely moved in. she doesn't even leave my patio that much anymore.
I just wonder if this drooling and TERRIBLE breath is a sign of danger. a 3 month old kitten should not smell like that. the thing that scares me is the first thing to pop in my mind is liver or kidney trouble.
