My little kittie

I found a stray kitten last Thursday at my work. The humane society said they would put her to sleep because shes so little and they are having problems finding home for cats. I took her to the Vet that night and they said she was fine. They dewormed her, killed the fleas and gave her a shot of vitamins and sent me on my merry way. The cat has been great, shes playful, lovable. Than tonight at 3:00am we hear her just screaming and crying. I find her and she hisses at me and screams louder. Her eyes are dialated and shes just freaking out. I know shes not older than 6 weeks. What do I do?

  as you have found the kitten, and you do not know her history then she could just be feral.  her temprament will probably always be unpredicatable and you will need to take things slowly with her.  i am sure it is a big shock to her to be in a domestic situation, and now she is feeling better she is starting to react.  use positive rewards to encourage desired behaviour and avoid putting her in situations where she feels cornered or panicked.  it is possible that she will calm down in time but beware that if she feels theatened she will have a violent aggressive reaction.

  As I was waiting for a response the cat started to calm down and in an instant she is calm but now she's falling all over the place. Like she woke up out of a dream or something. My husband has been raising cats his whole life. He says he has never seen anything like it.
