Stray kitten

kill it before it kills you

It's with me in my bed. It hasn't purred yet.

Even non-feral kittens need time alone to adjust to new homes. Give him space for a day or two

Ok, I'll try to do that. I hope he eats what I leave him. Otherwise I'll return it to its mother

Before approaching it let it smell your fingers. Cats love being scratched on their bum foremost. Spend regular time with it and trying holding it each day to socialize it. Get a bag of treats and shake it and say its name so that you can get it to come and learn its name.
Once it gets accustomed to you, play with it every day (20-30 minutes once or twice a day).
Don't let it outside.

If it bit you GO TO THE HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY. My brother was bitten by his cat once. He went to the emergency room and had gotten sepsis and the doctor told him if he waited EVEN A DAY he would've DIED! Cat bites are far more deadly than dog bites!

Nice advice. Thanks.

I'll go right away. Thanks for your concern

Name him Thanatos or Thana for now.
Try holding him by his scruff a bit and bring him close to your chest so he's sure you have him nice and safe.

give him a box to hide in while he gets comfy

Thanks, that worked the first day and a half. Then he used my bed as his personal fortress.

Just want to update my post with my current situation. The cat is doing fine; he stays in my bed, lets my pet him, purrs, plays with my hands, comes when called, feeds when I put him food, doesn't cry anymore and generally isn't scared of anyone. Everything went better and faster than expected. Seems like he's ready for being adopted by a nice family.

Thanks for the nice advices!!!

You went to the hospital right?

It only really matters if it's a deep bite. A shallow bite is nothing to worry about. Now, if it starts swelling up and is obviously infected, yeah, you need to go to a doctor and get on some antibiotics quickly as it can get very serious.

I went to a place in my neighbourhood that treats minor injuries. They cleaned the wound and told me what >>2402120 said. But it was good to make sure.

Thank you very much for your concern. With all these animals around, sometimes I don't take care of myself as I probably should.
