It sounds like the cat has advanced dental problems, probably including (but not necessarily limited to) diseased gums and infected teeth. It sounds like he is in a lot of pain. He will likely need a full dental cleaning, tooth extractions and possibly antibiotics to follow up the procedure.

Contact your local veterinary practice immediately and set up an appointment for as soon as possible. Left untreated, it will only get worse and can result in death. At an advanced stage like this, there is nothing you can do at home. The cat needs professional veterinary care.

You should also discuss dental hygiene options with your vet. Once the necessary procedures are done, the cat will need at-home dental care to make sure this does not happen again.

What does a baby kitten drink when it does not have a mother?

If its a pet cat it would probably drink from like a baby bottle or somethingADD:Just to expand on the first answer, many vet practices will be able to give you special kitten milk, bottles, syringes (for kittens that are difficult to feed) and anything else that is needed.

Could continuous bleeding be deadly?

well you have to qualify continuous bleeding - obviously the bleeding would be deadly (cause death) if a lot of blood is lost. However, if continuous bleeding occurs from a small cut, this probably would not cause death. Yet, continuous bleeding from a small cut should not occur - if it did this would indicate haemophilia, or possibly leukemia.
