A healthy cat has bright, clean eyes without tear stains, a slightly moist nose without discharge, and smooth coat without hair loss or redness. It is lively and curious; lethargy signals illness.

Kittens are very sensitive to new environments and have fragile digestion; overeating or wrong foods cause indigestion and refusal to nurse. It may also be sick, so watch for other abnormal signs and treat accordingly.
