After running away and being stray for a week, it came back with severe tear stains, scabs, and baldness under the eye corner.
Severe tear stains with scabs and baldness under the eye is likely infection from outside germs/viruses. Clean around the eye with saline, keep diet light, and use anti-inflammatory eye drops; if no relief, see a vet for the cause.
I found a stray kitten about a month old; after meals it passes brown soft stools, is energetic and eats well.
Brown soft stools in a young cat may be enteritis—bacterial, stress-related, parasitic, or viral. Good spirits don't rule out a virus not yet full-blown. Get a CBC, biochemistry, fecal, and virus screening; if vet isn't handy, try amoxicillin, bismuth subcarbonate, and probiotics for two days.
Yesterday I found a cat outside and brought it home; it looks like a pet cat that got out, but it breathes poorly, nose blocked, sneezes like a cold, and has a scabbed injury on the nose. Photos 1–2 are from that night, photo 3 is this morning.
Breathing trouble, blocked nose, sneezing suggest respiratory infection or cat flu. Try doxycycline or amoxicillin-clavulanate and watch; if no clear relief, see a vet. A stray easily catches viruses and needs proper vet care.
What happens if you do not get a shot after a cat bite?
Cats may carry rabies and other germs; an unvaccinated bitee risks rabies, nearly always fatal once symptomatic, plus wound infection or tetanus. Wash the wound thoroughly and see a doctor for vaccines.
My free-roaming cat returned after two weeks, breathes through its mouth with a rattling sound, but eats and plays normally – is it sick?
Mouth breathing with phlegm suggests upper respiratory, lung, or infectious disease. Given stray exposure, see a vet to identify the cause.
I found a stray kitten with no mother and brought it home; does this orange kitten’s mouth have a problem?
The photo shows much nose/mouth discharge, likely a respiratory infection or inflammation, but panleukopenia or calicivirus can't be ruled out; strays easily catch viruses. Get a full vet check; if diseased, follow the vet's treatment.
What counts as a disqualification for a Dogo Argentino?
Disqualification means failing purebred show standards (build, color, teeth, bite, nose, bone). A pure Dogo is white, 60–68 cm, with dark eyes; too much color, light eyes, short height, or bad bite disqualify.
How good is Meoduole cat food?
Meoduole cat food likely refers to the Meoduole brand under Nestle Purina. This cat food offers good value for money and very stable quality control, and is a long-term choice for many pet-owning households, with no serious negative reports so far. However, its raw materials aren't great — most animal ingredients are meat meal, and it adds quite a lot of grains and gluten, with relatively high starch content and slightly lower nutritional value, so many owners buy this cat food to feed stray cats.
It was outside with some male cats for several days and came home like this—no energy.
Based on your description, the symptoms are mainly considered to be from hairballs or pregnancy. Hairballs show as retching, low appetite, lethargy, constipation. Since the female once strayed, pregnancy can't be ruled out. Have a vet check whether she's pregnant and why she's vomiting, then treat accordingly.
Why does a cat overeat?
Overeating may be psychological - stress, anxiety, or pressure relieved by food. A diet change or a rescued stray's fear of scarcity also spikes intake; a sudden appetite jump can signal disease, so see a vet.
