Any of you guys have any idea on how to know if the cat is pregnant? My kitty seems a little "chub" lately.  Should there be any signs?

Don't ask me to go to the vet.

Thanks ya'll.

Refer here:

Check to see if her nipples are larger. Around day 21, a pregnant female's nipples will often turn bright pink. If they are, she is pregnant. If not, wait another week, and check again. Some may not turn bright pink or become enlarged, but most will.

The gestation period for a cat is between 60 and 67 days with the average being 63 days. It is easy to remember, nine months pregnancy for humans, nine weeks pregnancy for cats.

Very gently run your hand over the surface of her tummy to see if you feel a sort of swelling and small lumps the size of walnuts. DO NOT put too much pressure on the lumps.

When a cat becomes pregnant, her personallity may change. Pregnant cats become very affectionate, and not all teeth and claws.

Stand back and look at your cat's overall shape. From the side, pregnant cats frequently look a little swayback with a slightly distended tummy. From the top looking down at the cat, a pregnant cat's tummy is frequently distended slightly more than halfway from the neck to the tail. This look has been compared to the posture of a burro. If your cat's profile has changed from normal to burro, she might be pregnant.

To distinguish pregnant from fat: fat cats are fat all over, including the neck, the legs. etc. Pregnant cats are not. However, keep in mind that fat cats can be pregnant too!

Your cat may also become very lazy and more lovable.

NEVER ever poke, prod or fondle your cat's tummy. To do so could cause miscarriage, stillbirth or other serious complications!

DO NOT rub your cats belly hard at all just lightly move your hand over her belly!!!

Not supposed to be eaten by cats, but the whole world knew there are cats used for their ads.. hehe.. and thanks for the reminder..

Anyway, in Damansara area, where can I find all those premium brands like orijen? Can't find it at Ikano..  cool2.gif

yea true..

its a cat food but do not have much nutrition with it.

still better than stray cat eating rubbish and human left over right.

if friskies/whiskas/smartheart is a killer im pretty sure the world will ban this brand. but too bad, they are growing more and more heheheeh....

its a low quality food, just like poor human eat rice and ikan goreng.. can't afford lamb chop. for short term yes the poor people grow.. but long time, they may end up with poor nutrition in the body...

Hello guys, just wanna ask if you have an air purifier for your kitty?? I've been thinking about it ever since I browse through a TW cat forum where they mostly have it to purify the air which might contains some cat gems and filter your kitty's hair too. Some more poo poo smell will go away fast haha. Saw some of their recommendation on which model and the price difference is huge as like selling RM800 in TW while M'sia dealers selling RM1400 for the same model. Thinking to get one as my room become easy to get dust lately. Do share if you have any comments, thanks smile.gif

yeap air purifier and air filter is a good thing to have in a house with cats. for you and your cats too smile.gif

i have both air purifier that use water with ionizer ... another air filter is by amway...

so u actually not only buying for your cats but its for you aswell smile.gif worth it..

hi el,

the kitty i brought back, mian mian is still with me for certain reasons even though she is being adopted.
she was fine besides the ear mites problem that i mentioned when she was staying with me. when her adopter brought her to see the vet, she was told that mian mian has kurap. and was given a type of transparent fluid medicine. mian mian has to take the medicine once a week for 4 weeks continuous.

right after mian mian took the 1st medication, she had diarrhea and i brought her to see the vet. the vet gave me some medicine to prevent diarrhea and a type of canned food which i have forgotten the brand name for easy digestion. everything goes on well, she didnt have diarrahea anymore. and i stopped the medication as was told by the vet and also the canned food and changed back to dry food yesterday.

this morning i saw the dry food are all vomitted out in the cat litter. and she has diarrhea again and couldnt contol the 'output'. i called the vet and was told i have to changed her food back to the canned food or boiled chicken meat and continue with the medicine given. she still have diarrhea even though she was fed with the medicine this morning. im kinda worry now. any suggestion on what i can do other than chaging the food?

thanks in advance notworthy.gif
*
this is so weird.. and i know it will be a big mess for u to go and return back to the vet....

i was wondering why the kitten vomit back the food... surely have digest problem... change back to the canned food that mian mian did not vomit back. any brand wet food.. u go try first. cos if u still feed dry food, i bet mian mian will not eat anything because it go out again....

the canned food u gave is made from? chicken is it?? cos i know some cat like mine.. i have 1 cat allergy to fish LOL... sound weird but she will vomit it back.

cat that eat alot will also vomit back the food..

and some other disease that related to food vomitting... won't cover it here.. u try continue wet food first... or maybe buy 1 type that can afford.. see vomit or not...

good luck.

hi elfreakz,

I had adopt a kitten 8mth ago. Last time, i bring him to vet, the doctor said his backbone like roller-caster which cause him hard to poo. End up the doctor give a liquid to pump into his backside. 2 mth ago, He able to poo out easily but now he has some problem to poo. when i touch his tummy, there is a long long hard poo. I plan to bring him to vet but i'm quite busy of working days.

Thanks
*
that sound like "cacat dalaman" ??

i bet its hard to handle this kind of cat.. but im pretty sure, what you help, you will get in return.

but how can you feel the poo inside your kitten tummy?? can't you feed the liquid by yourself without going to the vet all the time??? what liquid the vet supply you? is it the hairball type?

thanks for your reply El.

yeah...i went there trice in a week. but its ok...mummy always love the weaker child more tongue.gif

the canned food is made by chicken. i just checked the brand name, called precription diet.

i think you are right, she ate a lot....maybe because she was fasting for few days, can only eat 3 meals a day, with an amount of 1 table spoon of precription diet each meal. she has finished 3 cans of prescription diet before i changed her food back to dry food. that night when i gave her dry food, she finished the whole small bowl in the midnight.

yesterday i gave her : dry food + medicine which prevent diarrhea: still diarrhea.
when i gave her boil chicken meat + medicine: unshaped soft poo poo....

is it any possibility that orijen doesnt suit her?  rolleyes.gif
*
some cat will get soft poo.. not watery.. diarrhea is water type, like when its out it has the most unwelcome smell ehehe.. and it look like water - so no shape at all.. some will turn out to be greenish color and brownish color.

soft poo on the other hand, still look like the normal shape just that it look like half cook ahahaah soun disgusting hahaha yes its look half cook.. nice shape and soft tongue.gif

hard poo is the one like well done cooked eheheh... some look like hangus already eheheh over cooked tongue.gif

but hard it get the less smell...

i was wondering, she ate orijen before? does he had diarhea with orijen before? or you just change the food to orijen recently after diarrhea?

the thing is, you still involve with food changes... wet to dry or maybe old dry food to a new dry food.

you need to know another thing, with orijen some cat will get soft poo.. because of the contain is 100% meat and high protein + fat.

have you tried mix the orijen with the wet food? like smash orijen into small pieces and mix it? so with this, your cat stomach will learn about the exist of orijen (if she never ate orijen b4)..

p/s the wet food vet gave you is by science hills pet right.. white color... it come with a code like s/d and etc...

hi el,

Can u include me in d cat's lover list? Thanks.

By d way, i found a lost cat n she was really in bad shape. I used to hv a cat as a pet but give up coz move in with in law. So, kinda forget abit here n there abt caring a cat sweat.gif

So back to question. The cat was DLH, and d hair was full with lice eggs. She got some really bad fight wound on her face n ears. In fact, d wound has absent mucus (nanah). Rite now am treating d wound with iodine.

But, the mite n lice r very hassle for me to comb off coz i end up scratching myself. I google n some caresheets recommended to chop of the hair. But, some said it evil to do tht to d cat. Prob is, she become too skinny n so sedih looking at her condition.

So, should i cut her hair or should i send to vet to do it for me?
*
yea shaving all the fur is last thing to do if you can't handle it.. or the lice/mites/fleas/ringworm/other parasite is TOO MUCH....

short hair cat took 4-5 months to grow back the fur.. so i bet long hair cat abit longer..

but the best part, parasite will be gone forever if you put your cat in parasite free place....

so you decide this actually... if u want fast recover, shave it all... about the skinny part, im pretty sure after vet check up with medicine, care and love, she will grow bigger while waiting for fur to grow back smile.gif

p/s added your name to the list smile.gif

yeah, it is diarrhea. Watery with brownish and greenish color. All this while she is eating orijen when she is with me. Cuz i have no other brand of dry food. 1st and 2nd day when i found her, she is ok with orijen. 3rd day evening went to adopter's place, dont know what she ate, 4th day noon came back, continue with orijen. 5th day diarrhea. Then changed to prescription diet, science hill red color (not the gold color 1). Next day found cooked poo poo. tongue.gif cooked poo poo maintained for few days until she finished 3 cans of wet food. then changed back to orijen, then vomit and diarrhea again. Today whole day eat boil chicken meat and chicken soup(3 meals, followed vet instruction), no poo poo/diarrhea, only pee but a lot.
i never tried mixing orijen with wet food. Can i do like that?
*
yes because wet food contain alot of water smile.gif thats why sick cat eat wet food... since they dont have appetite to eat dry food and drink... wet food will help to full the stomach + water from wet food.

yeap its ok to mix orijen with wet food.. just like when you teach small kitten to eat, you mix the dry food with alil bit of water to make it soft.

when eat orijen your cat will diarrhea and vomit right??

I know cow milk can affect kitten's digestion health badly. I've read that we musn't feed them with cow's milk, I have some 6-8 weeks old kittens that I found near my house, looks like their mom is missing. I know I can get the kitten milk replacement from pet shop/clinic but I'm seeking other alternatives to feed them...

It seems they can eat biscuits & drink plain water so far, but not much. Any suggestions?

i found a kitten a weeks old (i guess) like kes buang anak.... start giving her milk ( actually my lil' bro milk... dutchlady i think)... well
i tought she'll be dead in weeks but she  like the milk and have a long life... i guess u can try givin' dutch lady powder milk.. i also try giving kitten's powder  milk to my other kitten  but they started having  crit - brit.....hahahhaha
but i dun think it's good giving plain water n biscuits.... biggrin.gif

if 6-8 weeks suppose they should know how to eat by them self... dry food and also wet food.

PLEASE NO MILK FOR HUMAN TO BE FEED TO YOUR CAT!!! cow milk for human contain lactose that's why your cat suffer diarrhea... cat will have problem digesting it and end up with diarrhea which is not a good sign. they may grow up, but having a kitten nightmare in the past tongue.gif

hi el, after few days of feeding mian mian boil chicken with the soup, she doesnt have diarrhea anymore. Only poo poo twice in these 5 days, but pee a lot. The poo poo is still soft,but with shape (not those cooked poo poo tongue.gif)

do u have any suggestion on what should i feed her next? Try orijen again or just continue with boil chicken? Or should i just get her other brand of food?

besides, i have bought them new bed, how to let them to recognise  the bed is their new bed?

thanks in advance!!

lets try other food that have lower contain of protein & grains. maybe mian mian cannot take too much of that...

something like iams, rc, science plan... but change slowly.. mix it with the chicken... and slowly reduce the boil chicken.

Hello ppl, I recently (yesterday, LoL) rescued a very manja 5 months old female kitten (DSH) from the carpark of my condo. Skin and bones with old bite wounds. Brought to the vet today for deworming and stitching. No signs of fleas and mites.

My house already have a 4 months old Yorkshire Silky mix female pup that is very eager to play with the cat.
The cat current limit is 5cm distance from dog before she hiss.
Cat doesn't feel comfortable with the pups energy.

Any experience on how to introduce the cat to the dog?
or
Who wants to adopt manja kitten in Setapak, pls PM me. brows.gif

cat will always be like that... very protective.

to avoid that kitten turn into stress mode... make a distance or cage the kitten... make the kitten feel safe like home.. until she don't care the puppy eheheh..

nak tanya sikit,gambar kat bawah ni kucing jenis ape?ape yang perlu dilakukan bila kita adopt cat dari org lain?harga untuk veterinar macam mana pulak?
*
Kucing tu nampak macam DLH semi flat... tapi saya pasti petshop tu cakap PERSIAN kan?? cuba tanya dia ada Pedigree Certificate atau Sijil Persian kucing tu tak... kalau dia cakap tak ada.. maksud nya betul lah Domestic Long hair (DLH)... hanya kucing yang betul2 original baka kucing atau pedigree cat saja akan ada sijil pengesahan kucing tu baka original.
kalau tak ada, maksud nya kucing ni dah di kacuk kan dengan jenis kucing lain. maka standard dia mix breed DLH utk bulu panjang atau DSH utk bulu pendek.

Jadi hati hati beli kucing, ada penjual kata kucing tu baka original dan letak harga tinggi. padahal mix breed... so tak berbaloi bayar mahal kalau kucing mix breed. bukan masalah kucing tu, tapi masalah kita keluar duit terlalu banyak, padahal kita boleh dapat mix breed dengan harga bawah rm500 kalau pandai cari.

kalau adoption biasa nya tak perlu apa apa. just bawa kucing tu pergi vet utk check up kesihatan. sama juga dengan kucing beli... kena tanya dah vaksin ke betul, dah deworming ke belum.

harga vet, tertakluk pada vet mana. lain vet lain harga... kebiasaan nya vaksin dalam rm30-40. deworming pula around rm5-rm10. ada vet charge utk consultation, ada yang free... ada juga vet charge utk registration. so basically kena ada rm100 utk basic check up.

utk kucing first time vaksin, dia akan di beri 2 vaksin utk bulan pertama dan kedua. lepas tu baru setahun sekali.

deworming bagi 2-3 kali setahun kalau indoor cat.
