We've been leaving food our for a feral male cat in our neighborhood. He's
youngish, about a year and a half. Today he came strolling up the street
with a kitten in his mouth. He dropped it next to our porch and wandered a
little ways off to sun himself. The kitten is frightened, but ok, other than
some fleas. I'm not sure how to proceed, the kitten looks to be about 5
weeks old.Why would a feral male exhibit such behavior?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Naturally, it needs to be checked over by a vet, but we're in a very rural
area. Can this wait until Mon.?
