I am going to adopt a pair of kittens from a rescuer. I have a lot of experience in taking care of cats. I've tried giving raw fish, canned food, RC, n steamed fish to my previous cats.

I just wanna know which is the best method to feed cats?

recently.. a outsider cat keep come in to my house and steal my cat food >.< behind my kitchen.. everytime i have to keep my sliding window close in case the outsider cat keep continue come in and steal my cat food. i'm pity with that cat but i can't adopt her as my cat doesn't welcome her at all *sigh* i've tried to give her cat food, putting outside my house corridor. i feel so pity with her.. i know this cat is not an ordinary wild cat, is somebody house cat.. maybe she had been throw out from the house already. Today she come again.. she's sitting nearby my sliding window, i know she wanna steal inside my again but i only open half of the window... she can't able to come in.. i've plan to catch her and put her some where else...as what i have told my husband before about this cat. if she come in steal the cat food instead of doing ntg i had not so pissed about her.. but she pee and poo after having the food on my kitchen floor So, me and my husband had make a decision to catch her and put inside the cage and bring her some other's place..But today, when i put her inside the cage i saw the cat pity looks and her eyes like asking me to realise her... oh my god~~~ i feel like so bad of myself My husband came home to take the cage but i stop him.. i ask him don't throw her away.. then my husband said "Don't worry, i won't simply throw her somewhere" just put her in other's safety place... but i cannot stand about the cat pity eyes ahhhh.... damn me, then i ask my husband to realise her. But that cat still don't wanna go >.< so, as usual i put some cat food inside the bowl and let her eat. *sigh* i really donno what to do already.. Im really pity with this cat >.< Donno who's the master throw her away and makes her hungry like that
Now, i'm planning to find anyone who wanna adopt her instead of letting her staying outside without care and food Anyone wanna adopt her ? she's a very tame and adorable cat. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/443156/+680

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!

thank you so much CutiePie69 i'll try to ask them about it ya my husband ask me to put them at SPCA or PAWS but what we know is they usually will give the animal to sleep if no one adopt it so i don't wanna have this kind of situation happen...

Thank you soooo much for the help!

you have a good heart there dear.

I pray so that that cat will be adopted soon by lovely person like you. I am so sorry I cant be able to help you here since my quota is quite full now.

good luck!

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.

hihi..

i haven't contact them as im busy this few days but i'll take some free time to contact with them as soon as possible. this morning this pity cat come again and waiting me outside the sliding window.. My cat damn notty... sneeezzzzz her again (warning her Not to enter) lolz... My husband worrying this pity cat might pregnant and looking for a place which she can deliver her baby safely but i'm not so sure itzzit she is pregnant or not
as my own cat are already nueter.

Just now, while the pity cat eating.. i help her to furminator her fur... so many fur falling out >.<

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.

Hiyah!!! New cat owner here!!! Hijacked from my hometown to KL, lol...
5 days ago, a little kitten playing at behind my house when i go bec hometown... it so adorable, haha... I onli so him alone without his parent... dunno how old is him. My mun say wan throw him go pasar, lol... so kesian, tat y i hijack him bec kl.

Its my first cat, any1 can giv me a advice bout litter train? o any vaccine required?

btw, i feeding it with my hedgie food, Royal canin 34, lol...

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.

tq cutiepie69! Ya, like u say, i found that she ady using the diy litter pan...

And 1 more thing, the total for the first time medication including all is how much o? Roughly giv me a total, so i can save the money to giv her 1 time vet time.

TQ YA...

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

oo.... few more things to ask, bout the nail trim? cos her nail always hurt me, painfuland bleeding sumtime. until how short i should trim her nail? i found out her nail so sharp like Captain Hook' hook

and bout the behabiour trainning, wat can i do to train her to behave?

tq ya!

Hye im currently not having any cat right now but i got a question what usually u all do when have to go away from home, u send the cat where to take them ?

You can google some sites which will tell you how short you can cut the nails. Basically just don't cut til the part where you see the color changes..Like a pink color near the base of the cats nails. Cos it has nerves or something and will hurt the cat.

Abt the training not too sure. If its aggresive biting behavior then you must not encourage it to bite you. Use a toy to play with the cat and not your fingers. But sometimes its just hard to make the cat stop biting you..As in my case..I guess its just going through its kitten behaviour but when its not eating or playing with its toys, my kitten spends every waking hour trying to bite me. It just turns into a monster

Dear cat lovers, I recently bought a Persian-Siamese kitten age 3 month.
I just wondering if you could share with me the recommended vet clinic near Sungai Petani / Penang?

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!
