We have been adopted by a stray cat...She turned up over a week ago and has spent most of her time sleeping on some old clothes of mine I left outside. We got her some cat food and a box. She has a dry spot under our backyard canopy. She is deffo female, age undetermined, obviously malnourished.
On the plus side, she has good appetite, she has let us give her a scratch, she seems at ease with us, she started to be vocal and she goes to do her business away from our house. She is even not shy of giving a slap to other cats taking liberties.
There is a big minus side, which is where I need some insight. As mentioned, she is very thin. She seems lethargic most of the times, fast breathing even at rest and her head is lolling. We don't think so soon after she started trusting us it would be a good idea to put her in a cage and bring her to a vet. We are thinking of giving her a worming treatment just in case
Do those symptoms mean anything to you? Googling brings up so many possibilities...
