Is my kitten's behavior normal?
Hello! I "adopted" a kitten (she was living on the streets and I took her) some days ago and, since I haven't had one before, I don't know if her behavior is common.
I think she's only around 2-3 months old (I don't know if I'm right so you can judge for yourself with the attached photos) and since I took her in:
- she has been sleeping almost all day
- hasn't played, when I try to get her attention with a toy she looks at what I show her for a bit but then goes back to sleep or just falls asleep..
- hasn't ran, I thought kittens would be more active.. I was so surprised she has been so calm, I always heard stories about cats knocking off things and being disruptive but my kitty is so calm it's worrying
- doesn't really look if there's a noise behind her, I don't think she's deaf since her ears do move when she hears a noise and sometimes she looks for a bit
- vomits, she has vomited twice since she got here, the first time it was kind of white/clear and the second time it was greenish. I heard that cats do vomit from time to time..
- doesn't clean herself, this might be because she's too young but she rarely grooms herself and she never cleans herself after she uses the litter box
Also, when I got her, I went to a pet farmacy to get her food and the lady gave me a pill because she said her stomach was a little boated. Now she also appears to have diarrhea.
I'm bringing her to a vet tomorrow but I just wanted to get your opinions. Do you think it's a stomach problem? I feel sad seeing her like this, even now she's sleeping on me. Is she like this because she's still young?
