My deepest condolence to you my friend.
Be strong ya.... its not easy when we lose one of our pets.

If you have other cats in the house please take these precautions to avoid your other cats from getting the virus as well. Dilute 2 caps of Clorox in half a pail of water and mop all your house with that solution. And then wash the feeding bowls and cat litter with clorox as well. The clorox will help to kill the germs. Then watch for symptons e.g. loss of appetite, no energy, fever, vomitting in your cats. As soon as you see any of these signs immediately bring to the vet for a blood check up. You can do this for RM60.00 The blood test will determine the blood count in your cat. If there is any abnormalities, your vet will inform you and will put your cat on medication. It won't cure them of FIV or FIP but it will help them to fight against the virus. Good Luck!

No need to throw. Just disinfect with Clorox.
Don't forget to disinfect your house too with Clorox especially the place where your cat used to sleep and play.

[quote=adioz88,Jul 16 2009, 01:20 PM]can anyone give me an idea
my house full with cute kitten and even adult cats now.
im willing to give to someone who want to tak over them nicely and not to hurt them.

have have 7 cats now.
1 year ago, only 1 small kitten.
if can, i want to give to vet
are they receive it?
or, any pusat jagaan kucing can take them.
i cant let them live outside there because too much risk for them.
hit by car, and more..
i cant even imagine that.


Hi Adioz88,

Mmmm first of all you should have nuetered your cats to avoid them from mating then you would not end up with so many cats in the first place. (Just my two cents)

Not all vets are willing to take in your cats as its unwanted expenses for them.  Also if you are sending your cats to SPCA, then you are sending your cats to an execution hall as SPCA will put your cats to sleep if no one adopts them in two weeks time.

So.... I think the best solution right now is for you to put your cats up for adoptions.  You can try to post it at www.petfinder.com.my or kitten.com.my or even here in. 

Please make sure that the new owner will neuter the cats to stop unwanted breeding.  Also please make sure that they are genuine cat lovers! 

Good Luck!

Hi Zopu,

I suspect its because your cat has ear mites and the 'blood clot' around the body and neck is from excessive scratching sampai kena luka. That was what happend to my cat too. Because of the ear mite in the ears, your cat feel so itchy that he/she tend to scratch near the neck and head thus luka from the nails.

Check your cats ears if ada banyak tahi telinga or not. How to check? If your cats ears is very dirty with tahi telinga (black/dark colour) then your cats has earmites. If you clean your cats ears today and tomorrow dirty again then its ear mites. Go and get a bottle of Cranker Eardrops. After cleaning the cats ears, put a few drops of Cranker ear drops until you stop seeing the tahi telinga.

About the bulu dropping, it could be some kind of skin infection. Do get a bottle of malaseb and bathe your cat in it. I find that Malased is the wonder shampoo for any kind of skin problems.

Good Luck!

Usually, when a cat is injured, try to make it as comfortable as you can.
Put the cat in a quiet room with less noise and activity as too much noise and activity can make the cat feel very stressed.
Give it water and food and try to talk to it lovingly and pet it to calm the cat down.
Hopefully all is well.

Yeah... agree with you Elfreakz. Even DLH now are selling at RM600 and above. No way you can get RM200 - RM350. Dragorc, why don't you try to visit SPCA as they sometimes have DLH for adoption. Fees are at RM150.00 if I am not mistaken.

Hi there Lex,

I have never heard about unfortunate pets that did not make it during spaying surgery at Klinik Kembiri. Are you sure about this? As, there is a bunch of cat lovers from another forum usually send strays and their pets to Klinik Kembir for castration as well as spaying but have yet to encounter any problems.

I myself have sent several of my male cats for castration there and have NEVER experienced any problems at all. The vets and nurses there are very kind and helpful. The wound and stiches are very neat and the after care is very good.

There is however a so called petshop in Kota Kemuning that does castration by an uncertified vet (the petshop owner himself) that does the operation and the stiches on the female cat was horible! The poor cat was infected by the badly done job and the so called pet shop owner said that it was due to the cat excessively licking herself. So you better be careful.

Hi there Mimzy,

Mmmm I used to have that problem with my DLH cats too when I fed them with IAMS. They shed a lot. Then I changed my cat food to Blackwood (Premium Cat Food from US) which a friend recommended to me. After changing to Blackwood, I noticed that my cats put on weight, tend to shed less fur and their poo poo less smelly compared to IAMS and RC.

Excessive shedding could also be caused by the weather since its very hot nowadays so it could contribute to your cat shedding more hair. You could also get salmon oil and feed it to your cat as this will help to maintain a healthy and shiny coat.

If you want to have BW food samples, feel free to contact me and I would be more happy to provide some samples for you.

What El said its true. But you better be careful also when buying cats on the net. Some people will try to con you and say that its persian or mainecoon breed but actually its not. There is a lot of people trying to scam people nowadays. I would suggest you bring someone who at least have some experience in cats when you go shopping.

c. Do inform us if your pet has been vaccinated or not (it is recommended that your pet be vaccinated first).
d. Do inform us if your female pet is currently on heat or pregnant (on heat or pregnant pets will have a higher risks during surgery).
e. Make sure your pet is cleaned before sending – including getting the ticks/flea problem under control.
f. Cats should be brought to the clinic in carriers/cages and dogs should be leashed at all times.
g. Any pet above 2 months old and weighing at least 1kg is eligible.

I think the best time to neuter a male cat would be 5 months and above
For females it would be 7 months above.

You should try what Elfreakz suggested.
Don't keep changing the food to fit your cats whims.
Your cat will eat the kibbles when he or she is hungry.
Also if you want to change the food you should do it slowly.... meaning mix old food and new food together and slowly decrease the old food and increase the new food.
My cats used to eat RC too and when I changed to BW they just sniff sniff and walk away!
But I refused to give in and in the long run they gave in and ate the BW until today

Added on December 11, 2009, 9:46 pmHi... I pity you. I geuss someone complained abt you having cats in the apartment.
Well... the same case happened to my friend who has 11 cats in the house.
She also feeds the strays around her apartment.
Because of her neighbour who complained she was also served with a letter from DBKL.
However because of her love for the cats she fought and negotiated with DBKL.
So... DBKL said that as long as her 11 cats stayed in the apt she is allowed to keep her cats however the strays had to go
So my good samatarian friend caught all the strays and sent to her father in law in the kampung so all ended well.
Good luck to you!

Hi there Paradiddle,

First of Congratulations on your new born kittens!
Secondly sorry to hear that the mum is not nursing the other baby.
Usually people say that the mother cats knows that the baby is sickly and most unlikely to survive and that is why she is not paying any attention to the poor little kitty.
What you can do is when she is nursing the other kitten, put the other kitten to her nipple and try to get the little one to suck.
If this fails, then you will need to get a nursing bottle and milk specially designed for kittens and feed the kitten yourself.
Feeding will be every two hours just like a normal baby.
It will be tough but the little one needs milk in order to survive.
Hold the little one up right so that the milk goes down the throat and not into the lungs.
After half an hour (after feeding) you will need to gently rub near her private part to stimulate the kitten peeing and pooing.
If you don't have the time, I have a friend who has a mother cat who is still nursing her baby.
Perhaps we can try and see if the other mother cat would be able to help.

Good Luck!

You will need to cut it off.
But not all of it.
Leave about an inch of the umbilical cord.
It will dry and drop off by itself.

Hi Iddy,

Congratulations to you for getting a pair of kittens!
I am sure that you will have loads of fun with them

The most convenient way to feed your cats will be by giving them kibbles as the kibbles contain all the vitamins and nutrients that they will need. Also, you need not to cook or use time to prepare them unless you stay at home all the time

You can treat them once or twice in a week with raw fish (although you will need to deworm them on a regular basis), can food etc.

If you tend to feed them regularly with wet food they might get dependable on them and would not want to eat kibbles in the future and it would be quite hard on you if you need to board them for temporary basis whilst on holiday etc.

Good Luck!

Added on January 9, 2010, 12:10 pmHi Strawberry Girl,

I understand your situation. Pity you.
But you have a soft heart and thats very wonderful of you to feed her.
Why don't you post her picture and put her up for adoption at www.petfinder.com.my
Someone might be interested to adopt her.

There are a few homes also assisting people to find new homes for homeless cats.
I have a friend who foster cats and at the same time will look for good homes for these cats.
His name is Ramzee and he maybe reached at 013 3943432.
He will send the cat for nuetering and vacination and will charge a nominal fee to the new owners for the medical bill.
Also you can try to google Bubu Shelter, Furry Friend Farm. Omiey's Home (012 2812640) and lastly another fosterer by the name of Annuar 0195771757.

Good Luck dear!

You are most welcome Strawberry Girl,

Did you manage contact any of them?
I visted Omiey's home in Kepong yesterday evening and they have so many cats and kittens for adoption!
So pityful looking at them
Hope they all will find good and loving homes.
That is why pet owners must be responsible with their pets.
They must nueter their pets to avoid unwanted population.
When nuetering is practiced, the strays will be less.

No worries, they will be waiting you
We understand your busy schedule.
Poor cat... must be hungry since she is pregnant.
You are such a kind hearted soul to feed her
There should be more people like you!
Being a stray I geuss she must be pregnant.

Hi there WeiWei89,

Congratulatins on your new kitten!
I am sure you will have lots of happy times with the kitten
Also you are very kind to give a homeless kitten a warm and loving home

Usually, cats have their own instinct to use the litter.
If training is needed you will need to cage the kitten with the litter box until it knows how to use the litter box.

Secondly, please bring it to the vet for a medical check up and get it vacinated and dewormed.
Vacination will usually cost around RM35.00 per jab.
Whilst at the vet, the vet can roughly tell you how old your kitten is by looking at its teeth.

Thirdly, what you are feeding the kitten now is very good since Royal Canin 34 is for baby cats / kittens.
You should continue to feed the kitten with kitten food until it turns 1 year old and you can change to adult food.

Cats are very intelligent you know

Usually, when you bring your kitten for the first vacination, the doctor will give it a basic check :-

1) Check the teeth and gums
2) Weigh the kitten to see if it is at the correct weight

Vacination and deworm will normally cost you RM35.00 at normal clinics. However there is a clinic at Pandan Indah same row as Steven's Corner named Klinik Yuan who does it for RM25.00. Very cheap. I bring my cats there. However that's only for vacination only. Perhaps you will need to add RM5.00 for the deworm

Just in case you need Klinik Yuan's number it is 03 92743746. They close quite early during the weekdays around 6.30 and open half day on Saturday. However you can call and make an appointment and they will wait for you

Dear Weiwei89,

Here is how you cut the cats claws :-

As for behaviour training....... you can buy a scratching post so that she won't end up scratching your furniture. Other than that a cat does not need any training like dogs

Added on January 15, 2010, 9:27 amUsually when pet owners go outstation or on holiday, they will usually send their pets for boarding or perhaps get a friend to help them look after their pets while they are away.

Before sending your pets to a boarding home please, please do some research of the shop or the private boarding first as you need to ensure the safety and comfort of your pets. Please make sure that your pets will be in a clean and safe environment. Some people just want to make a quick buck and they will not care for our animals and your pets will end up stressed . They will not provide litter for the cats and sometimes the cats end up sleeping in their own poo. Cages are small and have little room for the animals to move. Sick and healthy animals are kept together which is a BIG NO...NO!

So choose wisely when you intend to send your cats for boarding!

Yes, you are right.
Does not mean that the cats have long fur they are persians.
Also does not mean that the cat has marble markings is a bengal
I usually get a big laugh when I see people are putting up their cats for sale and they claim that their cats are maine coon when actually its just a normal Domestic Long Hair.
Some even claim a cat with long fur to be a persian and selling if for such an extorbitant fee.
Just because they want to make a big buck they claim their cats are purebreed.
Just the other day I saw someone trying to sell a husky cat
Since when there is a breed called husky cat
I looked at the picture and just because the cat has blue eyes they labled it husky
I mean how stupid can you get
Just be cool brother and let those 'Pandai' people be.
No point in arguing with people that has a low mentality
