Alright, so, I have a kitten named Sami. Sami is about 6 months old. He has been acting kind of weird and I am really worried about him. Here are some weird things about Sami and what he has been doing lately:
-His eye is blurry and looks a little bloody (I have another cat and when they wrestle he might of been scratched)
-He has been getting on top of the counter in the kitchen and licking the oven burners.
-When he falls or jumps, he sometimes doesn't land on his feet.
-He has not been playing too much.
-HE HAS BEEN EATING THE CAT LITTER FROM THE BOX.
-He has not been 'doing his business' in the litterbox, but around the house and in the sink. He has been eating and everything, though.
Please don't just tell me that I need to take him to the vet, because I already know that. But vets are very expensive and .. yeah. Please help!
Vets don't hang out on this website and in the one in a million chance one did stop by - they won't diagnose a cat they can't see and touch. They'd say the same thing all of us are telling you: GET IT TO A FREAKING VET! WTF do you expect to accomplish on here???

Why did you get this kitten if you can't afford a vet? Has he EVER been to a vet? Bleeding inside the eye is one of the things that can manifest with Feline Leukemia. Has he been tested?
edit: Michelle - what part of a BLEEDING EYES says "I dont think there is anything wrong with him" to you? Wow!
Call a vet or even an emergency vet tonite, and ask questions it doesn't cost anything and most don't mind. Eating litter can be an iron deficiency or other dietary issues. I would keep him in one room with a litter box, keep it clean, until you can get that under control. They can destroy your whole house quickly , and it gets them to start using it again, if not at least keep them in a room you can clean easily.
I dont think there is anything wrong with him. It just looks like you need to train him. If you trained him already then he probably forgot his lessons. Make sure when your training him you must have cat treats to feed him incase he gets it right! If this didnt help you, im sorry because im not really good with cats im good with dogs. . Just train ur cat a little more
cat poo is delicious! haven't you seen anchorman?
Bad news, and well ... bad news. This is not a site for vets and you'll likely not find anyone here who can diagnose your cat. Even a vet needs to do blood work and do a "process of elimination" before they can determine what is wrong. I know vets are expensive, but if he really seems sick you don't have a choice. Some vets will work out payment plans, and some shelters will offer low cost vet exams. Not landing on his feet sounds serious and may be due to some sort of nerve problem. He could have feline distemper, aids, lukemia, worms, kidney infection .... who knows! It does sound concerning and I understand that vets are expensive but this site won't really help I'm sorry to say.
Vets are not on this site, they don ' t have the time to be here.

Vets are expensive, but a checkup is what your guy needs, he's got his sense of balance off, his actions are different, soemthing has changed, his eye was injured and you're concerned. You can ignore it all and potentially have something get far worse, or you can take him in for a checkup and discuss things with your vet.
I'd add a second litter box, if he's not using the first, the other cay may have scared him out of it and holds dominance on the area.
