[All] ♡ Medical advice | Cat health & illnesses

A person affected by an intestinal infection may experience abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea to varying degrees, and even bloody stools.

Yes, eating rotting/decomposing meat can have serious consequences but it's not something that can spread amongst kits just by staying close.
Everything you say is right: yes, it is enough for causing food poisoning. Depending on how spoiled the food is and in what way the kits interact with it, the consequences may vary.

Be careful:

Puppy and kitten immune systems are both fragile and very susceptible to infectious disease. Especially between 4-12 weeks old.

This might be the death of most kits, depending on the severity of the infection. You have wide choice about the destiny of those kits, but remember that symptoms of an infectious disease should always be present (those at the beginning of the reply are okay).

Is it realistic for symptoms to show up immediately, or should I wait a few days?

Imo a few hours would be fine!

It's a big help.

• Which symptoms should your cat have?

Occasional sudden blackouts, preferably brought on by intense anger or other emotions but if that isn’t possible then that’s fine. He also didn’t remember if what had happened just before it was real or not, but over time he did start to remember things again

• Do you want a genetic or acquired illness/condition?

I’d prefer acquired unless genetic fits better and there’s a way to cure it

• How many moons is this cat? Is it a certain breed?

17 moons, I haven’t really decided on a breed

• What's the cat past? How/where does it live now?

He lives in WindClan, found out about these blackouts when he had one after attacking (and unknowingly killing) an intruder.

• Has it already some condition/other problems?

Nothing else

• What should the outcome of the illness/condition be?

I hope there is a way to cure him if that’s possible

• Is there a bigger plot around the illness/condition?

Yes, so after the killing of the intruder and having a blackout, when he woke up he couldn’t really remember if it happened or not, but when the memories came back to him he went to Twilightstar. She demoted him for a moon and a half, and told him to go to Lightningstorm, if Lightningstorm can’t figure out what’s wrong with him and fix it, he’ll be forced to retire early.
