I went cycling to a mamak stall today and a kitten ran across my bike. Almost banged it, and luckily I braked in time. I found that later there was two kittens at the time, without a mum nearby. One of them had a sprained leg, so I took them both back decided to raise it with my housemates. So I read about numerous articles about spaying and neutering, and it is beneficial for them. I don't live in setapak so I cant bring them to the DBKL clinic, I guess private vets are my only choice. Anyone know any good vets in Ipoh? Thanks, hopefully it won't be too expensive

Greetings. I would need some help here regarding my persian kitten with me for these few days.

1. He used to drink on a water bowl but I would like him to use the water bottle. He already know the bottle does contained water but seems like his tongue won't have enough force to move the metal ball causing him to use his cheek or head to move the ball. Which mostly make his face wet haha.

2. Do I need to let him to cope with my time? I'm always got awake by him during early mornings like 4-7am asking for attention or help. Kinda tiring indeed but he's only with me for 3 days so I'm figuring a way now.

3. He 's shy and really not into the toys i bought especially the scratch board. Is it better if I get a post??

Thank you for reading and hope you guys can help me a bit here @@.

Ipoh people.. please help carbon14 finding good & cheap vet

sound like he is born by drinking via the bowl right... i understand your problem, many persian owner prefer their persian to drink via the water bottle like hamster.. most of them teach since kitten.

you can still teach but remember, persian is very fussy eheheh... takes time.... water is very important, so don't leave your persian 24 hours with the bottle if he dont know how to use it. else he will be dehydrated... maybe u can teach using it 1/2 day. and monitor the water inside the bottle. if it is decrease, meaning he is drinking it.

4-7am is a active time for cats.. my cats get very active after 1am till 7am .. then they will be quiet sleeping... early morning is a hunting time for them. if they don't have friends, they will hunt you LOL maybe another cat will do the trick

persian is also a shy cat.. and tame... when they grew up older, they prefer to be alone... kittens will be active. but if he is born and grew up alone 24/7 he will prefer to be alone. he will play the toys and scratch board later own... u only have him for 3 days right.. takes time try cat nips toys too maybe he will enjoy catnip toys

Good Luck!

that's why i said it might not be ringworm...coz not botak till now.
NO itchy for human. No other cats in the house. Only his alone inside the house. My cat is adult cat. He still active, playful.
He fancy eat his food, water.

Added on July 26, 2009, 12:22 amHi, I had checked, My cat's ears is clean. No ear mites. Still can't figure out what's his problem. I'll try to get the malaseb as well. Hope it might help. Too bad tomolo i'll be outstation for a week time. Only can bring him to vet next saturday.
By the way, can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable pay for vet centre in PJ area? Previously i bring my cat visit d'sara vet. But seem they can't solve the problem, so decided to move others vet now.

Thank you elf.. But I confirmed today that one kitty has a fracture poor thing can't walk properly. Gonna take her to a vet anyhow

Thanks elf. Being reading your infos since ver.4 so still a learning process for me. My Felix is 3 months + as described. Went to get kitten food just now at petsmore @ Queen's park and somehow the water bottle incident was discussed with one of the sales girl and she said cats are preferred to drink using bowl rather than bottle as their tongue is sensitive and might hurt in the future. And there I've changed my mind to use bowl. A huge difference when he drinks on bottle and on bowl. really scare if he doesn't drink enough water you see .

About the catnip toys, I do use the catnip sprays on his toys and only one of the toys caught his eyes, others remain the same. The sale girl give me the reason is that catnip only attracts kitten from age 6 months + onwards, after they get used to it, they'll eventually loose the 'magic' too for a while. Now i got a cheap toy for him, straws, it really attracts him haha.

Not say promoting this store but bcoz of the confidence i got from this sale girl, at least i can get a 2nd opinion when i shop here so i won't get confused of what i need for my kitten. Will visit the vet you recommended on these few days to check up. starting to grow on him as he really likes me too

hi there carbon14,

ist of all which part of ipoh are u located??? if you are living towards the northern parts of city centre i would suggest you to dr.inderjit at silibin, she is good with cats and the price is reasonable. If youre looking for a less cost trip to the vet then please proceed to jabatan kesihatan haiwan situated at kg simee.

all the best...

if vet confirm no parasites on him... then do blood test.. he may end up with food allergy... which is not a "wish list" thing to have ehhehe... cat with food allergy need to take certain food type only which is meant for allergies.. ouch...

Petsmore has been famous here for such along time.. im a member card holder eeheh.. bought all my cats stuff at that shop.. but the one at taman connaught area..

good to know the kitten is start bonding with you... short time... which means fast introduction... felix will be your best friend

p/s u can trim alil bit the fur under his neck so drinking will not be a problem... go to professional grooming like petsmore to have a saloon cut

p/s many people believe.. a cat name Felix means, "naughty+handsome+killing me softly for the girls"

OMG!! that cat in the picture.. so cute and innocent!! like me LOL!

Thanks ash, the Jabatan Haiwan reliable ar? Need to call first is it? I'm in the Bercham area but if the JKH doesn't work I don't mind driving to Dr. Inderjit. Whats the vet store name in silibin?

anyone nearby Ipoh want to sell 2nd hand 3-tier cat cage? do PM me..


(^____^)

Hello again,

I've gone to see the vet and he told me Felix got diarrhea. So I was instructed to give him medicine and monitor his poo until my next visit. But how do I know if my Felix is having healthy poo??

I didn't realize he's having diarrhea too until I visit the vet. So I know if the poo is soft but what if the poo is hard but my Felix's paw got some of the poo too??

Anyhow, Felix is being active and naughty these days Just now he's running in my room and some how while he's trying to escape from me, he got hit by my leg. He suddenly stunned/scared/on defense and afraid of me. I can see it from his ears when he did that. Then I just slowly brushed him a few and while I picked him up, I slapped a little hard on his back as a warning and put him back into cage.

Oh yea, here's my Felix

Hello..

Actually it is easy to know if your cat has diarrhea or not. check the litter box. when you scoop out the poops u can easily see hard poo, semi soft poo, and watery poo. hard poo wont break into peace like semi soft poo. while soft poop its look like flat jelly and doesn't look like poop.

another way to check your felix butt ehehe... if he is long hair, normally soft poo/water poo will end up attach to the long fur at the back side.

Just to share some info with you, i think your felix is not persian breed. he has that semi long nose in the picture. while persian should have very flat nose. A pure breed persian and other type must have pedigree certificate to confirm they are pedigree. if a cat do not have any pedigree certificate, they will automatically turn into Domestic Long Hair (DLH) and Domestic Short Hair (DSH).

helo guys
my house now became house of cute kitten and cat
so i want to reduce it but at the same time i dont want my cat hurt or died like an abandoned cat.
i want to give my kitten to anyone who can take care them nicely.
any cat lover here who want to be their new family members can let me know.
here at kedah, i dont see any place like KL that have a place to give a cat before new owner take them and give full of love and care.

He's a mix breed w/o cert so it's consider DLH. but I do like his appearance at 1st sight.
Oh, about the poo sticking on his back side, the vet already cut the fur around his back but I've only see he got little poo got on his back paws so couldn't decide it's healthy or not

Anyway, thanks for reply

if the poo stick on the back side fur and paws thats mean he has soft/watery poo = diarrhea...

hard stool = healthy stool should not stick on them..

hope he's getting better soon

hye catz lovers ,

want to ask, anybody has male persian kitten for sale? prefer male only, my budget rm200-rm350 only tnx . do pm me kay.

i dont think u can get male persian for that budget. unless u want a domestic long hair (a mix breed long hair cat)...
