My cats get raw chicken meat + bones every few days. I'm a big fan of the RMB (raw meaty bones) diet and whole prey/frankenprey diet, but I can't use it for every meal because it's a hassle to defrost and clean up after that. It's more natural than BARF because it doesn't involve grinding the meat, which removes a lot of essential nutrients.
And if you get your chicken from good sources, the chances of your cat getting worms or other sicknesses is very slim. My cats have been getting raw meat a few times a week for months. When I dewormed them recently, they were clean.
As for raw fish, either feed them fish fillets without bones, or whole fish. The bones in whole, uncut fish are softer as they haven't been exposed to air. However, my cats don't seem to like fish very much. Their favourite is chicken

Of course, before feeding them raw, always do some research!

some good and cheap parts of the chicken are gizzards, hearts (remove the liver, these should only be fed very sparingly), necks and carcass. My cats clean off 99% of the bones I give them. The tough gizzards and hard bones lets them chew a lot and clean their teeth better than kibble does.

fish should NOT be fed as a staple, it doesn't provide a balanced diet on its own.

Orijen! if you have the budget

good point
I wouldn't recommend adding rice. Cats are 'obligate carnivores' meaning that they need a lot of meat, and very little veggies and grains. So I'd recommend adding good quality wet cat food or meat, since the dry food already has grains in it.

glad to hear that he's recovering!

I couldn't have said it better
Just google proper cat nutrition, but i'd advise you to stay away from the advise given in pet food company sites. They're just trying to get you to buy their products.

awww he looks so sweet. I'd love to take him but I already have 2 cats and live in a condo

you can post a profile on petfinder.my, the adoption thread here and kitten.com.my forum. you can also put up flyers at vet clinics.
good luck!!

every cat is different, just like humans. I've seen a few adult cats that are extra small before, usually females

my fat is female....

owh forgot about u now I remember!

ok first, reduce your meals to 1/4 of their amount. do this for a week or so, skipping a few meals now and then.
then have your friend hold something tasty like mcD burger in his hand, try to keep yourself from launching yourself at your friend and biting his hand while trying to grab the burger.

the stray cat is very hungry and is totally focused on the food. you can't blame it for accidentally biting you. have a bit of logic, yeah?

try masking the smell with something strong smelling like fish?

if they do have an accident, take the poo outside, leave it there and make sure the kittens know its there. any 'accidents' should be cleaned thoroughly to remove the smell so they won't do it in that spot again.

I use clumping clay litter. Scoop out every time my cats do their business so not much smell. Their litter box is exposed and in a well ventilated area. The box is a DIY, made from plastic storage tub with hole cut out on the side.

pic of my cats just to share

it's sickening how people who are responsible for the animals' wellbeing can be so irresponsible and heartless.
oh god...what assholes... @#$%$%^&*$%&@^!!!!!!

thanks! They looks so content and comfy in the pic

well I live in a condo and have cats. you just have to provide more stimulation.
I picked up my cats from the street instead of from a shelter

possible, but there's a higher risk. Cz when she's on heat her sexual organs will be more erm...blood-filled? not sure how to explain...but there's a risk of bleeding too much

and that's the problem, then.
Fungus is highly contagious. keep them separate until they both recover. wash the cage, carpet, whatever that they came in contact with. cz the fungus might also be hiding there

it's normal for fur to jatuh, but if jatuh too much could mean low quality cat food. what are you feeding them now?
if u pull gently on a clump of fur and it breaks off in a bunch, probably cz of fungus

should choose food that have meat as the first ingredient, cz it means that meat content is higher than other ingredients.

Whiskas and friskies are not good, cz grains and cereals are the 1st ingredient. so you're basically feeding your cat rice and jagung biscuits

check the ingredients of that food to see. Even better if the 1st ingredient is a specific meat(eg. chicken meal), not meat by-products (eg. chicken by-product, which is basically the leftovers that humans won't eat like legs, head, organs)

google a bit on how to choose good cat food
