last time someone from the whiskas ads contact me looking for american shorthair for their tv ads..

yes american shorthair...

because british shorthair has blue/grey fur color, without any marking such as tabby, and etc.

american shorthair is similar to our local kucing kampung.. but ASH has rounded look and nicer pattern. it is believe to be a mix with stray cat.

so confirm the kitten is not chewing the litter in the box?

seem like your kitten is more than 30 days right? since 2 of them can eat by themself.

is that kitten vomit grow well? or skinny and small than the other two?

im afraid that kitten has digestion problem inside the body.. if he/she is too skinny and getting weaker everyday. but if the kitten seem to be fine.. like healthy.. must probably he/she is too greedy with the milk making his/her stomach full house.

cats are territory kind of animal... they will fight sometimes.. and worst part they are some cat fight all the time because hating each other.. normally happen during mating season. 1 male will want to conquer the whole female.

female cats are not like tiger n lion... tiger n lion can live together in 1 community.. but female cat do fight too.

male cat will always be like lion n tiger.. 1 male + many female...

to avoid this, you must spay n neuter your pets.. it will reduce the potential of fighting over territory. but in some cases, there are cats after neuter still fight because they come from that genetic.

FYI.. cat will fight n hiss among each other for first time.. that is normal...

a cat will make noise in new place, to check if there is other cats around them..

a cat will smell everything in your house, to check if there is territory marking in your house. cats normally will scratch and leave their smell to mark territory

i have many cats in my house... they do fight something if others disturb them. but if they see my face, all pretend to be good boy n girl so teach your cat to behave... it will help

p/s Its good to have cats/kittens at the same age... like getting 2 kittens at the same time. so they grow together without problem. then u can get another cat.

why cannot go into the carrier??

is it she don't want.. or she's too big?? eheheheh

is that persian or just long hair cat?

yeap cats dream and they sleep in different position just like human too.. meniarap, telentang, etc.

kalau di kejut they sleep again, meaning very sleepy, better dont disturb your friend sleeping lah eheheh...

as for mimpi, cat may produce sound, moving ears, legs, and whiskers.. some even moving mouth without sound like buka tutup buka tutup as if they are eating something.

Just make sure the kitten can start eating by themself.. meaning, they do not rely 100% on mother milk anymore. Kitten learn to eat and drink at 4 weeks (1 months) old.

Specifically, six to ten weeks after giving birth your cat can be spayed.

A female cat potentially go on heat, a month after labor... so becareful, make sure she is indoor all the time.

Another important thing... you can make your cat fit but not over weight.. fat is not healthy

some mother cat act this way... they feel the location of labor is not suitable for the kitten. so when she push the kitten out, she also need to find better place... she is very busy, kittens are out, place is need, need to clean the kitten, need to feed, need to clean herself.

if you have cage, its better to cage the mother with the kitten.

if the mother is running away from the kitten or freak out... then you need to get a cloth or towel that u did not used anymore.. and wipe the kitten off till dry. they will scream out loud for milk, i hope mother is there to feed them...

put mother n kittens in a place that is secure.. like room, box, cage... dont let people in the house making loud noise... cat will alwasy be cat (busy body eheheh)

omg.. you mean the same cat labor 2 times within 2 weeks? sound like your female cat having double pregnancy... that is kinda bad. i wonder if the 2nd labor looks fine or not... did u try mixing all first labor and second labor together?

Science plan should be ok.. like what negative reviews you receiving?

i bet something like fur falling? fur failing is not only due to food, but also change of weather, stress, on heat, unbalance food, lake of water, sick, fleas & parasites, and etc...

so the important thing is, don't blame the food in first place.. check other possibilities...

congratulation

i'm pretty sure she will become big mama with a big smile in the face soon

don't worry bout the cone collar... just let she use it for the surgery to be in good condition

yeap furball look like poo ehehe

last time i have friend freak out when looking at her cat vomit this.. she said "OMG! my cat vomit SHIT" ehehe

bun in some case... if your cat having digestion problem... they do vomit poo.. which terrible sickness... very bad.. don't ever wish

in your case its the furball...

if you see your cat vomit furball... or see fur in poo... you should at least relief.. the fur must come out from the body system.. do not let it stuck inside.. yes vomiting is not so good if it happened like 3-4 times a day.. that's why we need to groom long hair cat more frequent to avoid vomiting. else you can also try pumpkinn solution.. feeding the soft gel.. so the furball can go out via poo

de-shedding tool is one of the tool u need if u have long hair cat. its alil bit different from the normal comb to brush the fur.. de-shedding tool is more towards removing the under coat. cat has 2 layer of coat.. upper u use brush/comb, under the upper coat u use de-shedding..

removing the dead fur from under coat will make your cat feel more comfortable... leaving it grow and dead will make it tingle and u start to dee fur combine together... gosh i forgot the term for that lol... but its like all fur combine together making like a ball stuck on it.. u have to cut it off...

i used this brand called bamboo.. its red and white color.. got it from petsmore..

- you feeding orijen to felix?? how long has u been feeding it?

- he's indoor right, how's the room temperature? aircon? fan 24/7? hmm any access to sun or something like bright sun light coming in to your house?

- how many times u grooming? basic groom like comb or brush... and how frequent you bath?

- neuter yet?

- found any parasites?

- ok the de-shedding tools you can use it before bath. so the water soak into the coat easily. you can see the different a normal long hair cat vs. a long hair cat with heavy undercoat.. it look too thick. u need the tool to shedding some so it become like layer the fur. daily you can use comb or brush to remove the dead fur.. remember if u bath your long hair cat, u need to make sure it dry well... by not letting the cat dry themself.. they will lick all the fur.

ok ok just spayed... lets give another 4-5 months.. im pretty sure you will see changes on your cat, like when i saw mine eheheh... from skinny to fit... from dull looking fur to fully till i need the de-shedding tool to help my cat ehehehe... but as for now, u will not see much changes yet.

it may not just be fleas and mites... it can be others parasite... lice very rare to be a carrier.. but if ur cat do have lice, its hardly to notice. even the house dust mites can disturb them... face part and around the neck is the favorite place to be for all parasites then, there's walking dandruff... it looks like dandruff on the fur... if u see this.. its time for bath

other parasite, u will see something else beside itchy.. so since u did not mention anything..then nothing to worry.

anyway, i know that you know what do to when its parasite red alert right let the war begin if it start to breed ehehehe

to make you understand... cat food divided into 3 group.

(a) Low quality food
(b) Premium food
© Super premium food

----

(a) Low quality food - Whiskas, Friskies, Tesco, Carrefour brand, smartheart... etc (all this can be found at super market or kedai runcit). Why low quality? The first reason because this kind of food use 90-95% of grains such as corn, rice, flour, seeds, etc. Only alil bit chicken meat. Others they will used flavor type, like chicken flavor, fish flavor.
This type of food won't do harm to your cat in short term. but in the long run, your cat may suffer from body weakness.
Cat need meat... they don't go for roti canai, flour, corns, etc... That is the reason it is CHEAP.. because grains are cheap source of food compare to meat.

(b) Premium food. Food that include in this group is sorting by brands and ingredients. althought they are in same group but the ingredients alil bit different. Example, Iams, blackwood, Royal Canin, Science Plan, Acana, etc etc. Why it is call premium? 60%-70% of the ingredients are MEAT from chicken or turkey or cow. Premium food do not use fish like low quality food... but they use the omega oil from fish, and sometimes just the flavor. The main source is meat. other 40%-30% is grains. So you can see the different Premium vs. Low.
Most cats owner go for this group, since it is very easy to get, and the brands are well known. If you can't afford Royal canin, you can go for science plan or iams.. not much different.

© Super premium food is a cat food that is made from 100% meat. 0% grains... FULL MEAT! which is what cat need actually. Well known brands are orijen, innova evo. so far orijen cost RM170 for 7kg.. which is not bad if you have 1 cat. 7kg can last 4-5 months (roughly).

----

lastly type of cat food divided into 2.. kitten and adult. kitten food for kitten age below 12 months. and adult is for above 12 months.

food like Royal canin will have different division. they have babycat, kitten, and adult. Babycat is good for kitten to learn to eat, the kibbles is very small... babycat RC is for kitten age 1-3 months. while kitten is from 4-12 months.

But yes, u can go for iams, science plan, blackwood, acana, etc kitten food aswell, if you cannot afford RC pricing

healthy kitten eat alot... and kitten should eat alot to grow.. im not sure how long it will last... it has been a very long time i did not keep kitten

fleas product is for kitten age 2 months above.

Buy frontline spray ... sound like u have 1 kitten.. so the smallest bottle is enough.. spray around neck first.. then put abit on top head.. DO NOT spray kitten face. and then spray the whole body. it is ok if the kitten lick it. don't paranoid.

give 24-48 hours.. and then you can bath your kitten with any fleas shampoo. tips on giving bath, after your shampoo the whole body.. let the shampoo stay on your kitten for atleast 10-15 minute before u dry or rinse the kitten.

You can also purchase frontline spot on for further protection. open the tube and put it on the back of the neck. read instruction.

frontline spray for fast action.. if you need to kill them faster
frontline spot on for protection...

This you need.. litter box, litter (clay/pine/crystal), kitten/cat food (iams, science plan, royal canin, orijen - are the most common type).

Keep your kitten indoor.. do not let them out.

Bring to the vet for check up on fleas, sickness, vaccine, deworming. You can get important notes from the vet itself do not afraid to ask question, cos you are paying them money.
