My very 1st cat! Please help me ID it.

I found it while raking dead leaves under a Washington Hawthorne tree. The cat was buried in a wet pile of the dead leaves. He was very sluggish and I didn't know if he would live. The only other plants remotely nearby were a Sansanqua, Dianthus, and Rajun Cajun (Ruellia elegans). So I placed some Washington Hawthorne leaves, and Sasanqua, Dianthus, and Rajun Cajun leaves in a plastic container with the cat. (I don't yet have the bags and house that I ordered).

It does not look as if he has eaten, but I could be wrong. There is a small bit of frass in the bottom of the container. He is still alive, but still inactive.

I'll post two more views. Thanks.
