Answer 1

A it makes the the rescue of the kitten more difficult/emotional

Answer 2

I believe that the answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

it would be D, but the cat is not injured/harmed. It’s A, because trying to keep the small kitten alive is extremely challenging, and emotional, because as you can see in the text, he is immediately pack-bonded to the cat because of the death around him
