You are absolutely right. RC is not super premium food as many people think. Evo, Acana, Orijen, Go are the closest food type for cats. Cat food shud not contain grain. But Evo, Acana, Orijen, Go are soooooo damn expensive. I think I'll go bankrupt if I continue to feed them this food. I got 9 cats. They got all the best food in the world and I have to settle for cheap food.

Added on November 13, 2010, 11:11 pmI rescued a female kitten in 2008 and she still scare of me and husband. She doesn't like us to hold her and run away if we come close to her. Funny thing is, she will come to us sometimes and asked to be petted. Cats are like human. They choose their own friends, they also like and dislikes other cats. The key word here is PATIENT. Some cats take it easy and can blend within 2 weeks or a month. But some cats takes 1-3 years or maybe more to make friends with us and other cats. So, be patient.

Also, please do not move your kitten here and there at this stage. Cats like routine. They will get stress when their routine get distrupted. You must allow the kitten to settle down and familiar with new surrounding first. I never board my cats anywhere after the first incident. I boarded them at my vet's clinic. The mother cat was very fierce and bite vet's assistant. When I collect them back home after a week, they were confused at home and takes several days before they recognise their own house again.

BTW, all my cats are neuter, male and female. I believe neutering cats/dogs is the best way to control the over population cats/dogs in Malaysia. My cats are all strays I rescued from the street.

Most kittens learn the basic ABC of litter box from their mothers by about 1month old. Its a case of kitten see,kitten do. Kitten who orpaned or separated from their mothers as very early age may be clueless about litter box etiquette or maybe just be a slow learner.

Purchase a small litter box with low side so your short legged kitten can easily climb in and out. Larger litter boxes can be too intimidating for some small kittens. Locate the litter box in a place in your house that is easy to access but not in a noisy high traffic area like kitchen. Gently move her front paws throught the litter to let her feel the texture and use your finger to paw through the clean litter. Then let the kitten explore the litter box and jump out on her/his own. When the kitten poo/pee outside or other places than the litter box, deposit the poo/pee in the litter box and put the kitten inside. Move her/his fronts as how cats bury their poo/pee.

It's very easy. Within 2 or 3 days the kitten will understand where is the right place to poo/pee. I have never met any cats that cannot be toilet train. Not even my strays. They know where to poo/pee. My own cats, always wake me up in the middle of the nite because they want to go to their litter box. They want me to open the bedroom door because they sleep with me in the room. Impressive huh??

But you may want to double check with the person who is going to give this kitten for adoption if the kitten is toilet train.

Added on November 18, 2010, 10:32 pmhi!! Tintintin, It was not Klinik Kembiri fault's to the death of the cats/dogs. But the owner's faults. You see, after neuter/spaying, the cats/dogs MUST be confine for at least a week. Don't let them near to water. The incision should not get in touch with water for speedy recovery. But most owner take easy way out and let their pets wondering around. ALL the vets in Klinik Kembiri are professional and certified vet. I have sent at least 100 (or maybe more.I lost count) my own cats, my neighbour's cat and strays (I did my own trap,neuter and release programme around my apartment and office area). None of them die due to neutering. They are all healthy and naughty little furballs. My own cats died due to Feline Leukemia but not died due to spaying in Klinik Kembiri.

On another note, RM200 for male cat is pricey though. In ARA Ampang spaying female cat cost me RM180 only plus 02 nites stay in the clinic. Time for you to change vet.

Added on November 19, 2010, 1:56 pmThis is odd. From what I know, vet will not vaccinate any cats which is still on medication. The cats must be fully healthy and not in medication as the vaccination will make their body immune system low for several days. This is the main reason why cats must be healthy before vet vaccinate them.

Hi!! Badt, the kitten is scared of the new place, separated from her meowwmy. That is the reason she was meowing all the time. You need to reassured her everything is ok by petting her more often. Gently petting and stroke her. You can put the litter box inside her cage. See if she know how to use or not the litter box. Let her settle down first. The first 2 weeks will be like this. Be patient. Kitten her age is like baby. Always crying looking for their meowmmy. We must play our role as their surrogate parents.

Oh!! My. You have housemate?? Where do u get this kitten?? She keep meowing because she was scared. Don't give up on her. Keep on keeping her warm,hug and petted her. Once she know she is safe with you,she will stop meowing already.

Morning Badzt.

First of all, I must congrats you for being a kind hearted person picking up stray from the street. Not many people are willing to do that. The reason why we see many strays on the street be cats or dogs because pet owner are irresponsible. Therefore it is very important for every pet owner or people to think twice before taking in pets. To have pets is a life long responsiblity. It is like you have children. In your case, I must say situation doesn't look good because you have house mate. They may like cats but maybe they don't have the responsible thoughts as the pet owner. I have heard enough stories on housemate forgot to close the door and their housemate's cat venture out and never return. But all hope are not lost yet. We wouldn't know if we don't try,right?

In your case, maybe the kitten doesn't know how to use the litter box because normally kitten follow what their meowmmy does. Kitten see kitten do. You have to teach her how to use the litter box. She's not peeing yet?? If she did, you can wipe her pee with tissue and put it inside the litter box. When she sniff her own pee, she will know that is her place to pee.

2ndly, you said you want to block her?? Where do you keep her? In your room or at living hall?? Kitten at the age are very curious and they won't stop venture to each corner of your house. Let her. If you are working, keep her in your room to limit her movement and also to prevent her from any injury. Normally this is meommy's job to prevent their kitties from any injury. When you are back home. Play with her, pet and hug her. Let her jalan jalan all over your house.

Guffy is such a cutie She looks like my Slyvester.

Ok, good to hear that she will have better and bigger house after this. I think to stop her from walking around is almost imposibble. What you can do is remove anyhing dangerous within her reach. She can't climb so high yet so put everything poisnous,dangerous inside your cabinet or higher places.

You can wipe her pee with tissue and roll it into ball like. Put it in the sand, move her paw like what cat normally do when they bury their waste. But you must allow Guffy to sniff it first. I did that to my kitten when I found them crawling outside my apartment with their meowmmy. It seems that somebody throw meowmmy cat and her kittens out from their house.

Oh!! Boy!! Kittens without mother is disaster!! Most of them will not survive because they are too young. But you can try to care for them. Keep the kittens warm all the time. Use warm water keep in the bottle and wrap with towel. Put it inside the box where the kitten sleep. When you feed them with milk replacement, you must feed them with their all paws down. Feeding must be done every 3 or 4 hours. Do you see how meowmy cat nurse their cats?? All 4 paws down. Dont feed the kitten like how we feed our human baby. This is because if you feed them like human baby, the milk will spill to their lung instead and they will die because of suffocated.

Dont' give them fresh human milk. Go to petshop and get pet replacement milk. Can't remember how much. Probably RM20-RM25 per tin. Cow milk will cause the kitten diarhea.

Whoever throw them without meowmmy is curse forever

Yeah, nite time also you need to feed. Once every 3-4 hours. They can't walk coz they are still too young. You must keep them safe and warm by putting them in the box. Normally meowmmy cat will keep them warm. You can see how meowwmy cat keep her kitties around her. Beside nursing, she keep her kittens warm otherwise they will die.

They have lost their meowmmy. You have to play role as their meowmmy.

Things we do for cats. hahahahha!! Do you know that my cats play Tarzan on my curtain and the whole thing (curtain and rails) fell down?? Now my apartment is like pendatang haram house without curtain I bought them toys and 7 feet tall cat tree so they can play without kacau my things. But still....

My friend always go to Dr Kadir in Melawati (Urban Clinic) 03-41475239 or Hope Clinic in Setapak (I think) Dr Chris 41433273.

Yes, bring her to the vet. I also wonder why she didn't poo.

Added on November 23, 2010, 1:20 pmWhen they are already 1 month plus, they can take wet food already. You can feed them wet/canned food kitten formulated or kibbles for kitten mix with replacement milk. For now, you don't ned any medication yet coz they are still too young. I will advise you from time to time. you can pm or email me at macgyver_june@yahoo.com for further questions.

Yes,they are monsters when they are kitten. Once they become adult, they play less. I need to stimulate them to play.

Good luck with your Guffy.

There are 3 monsters in my apartment. Max @ Gonjeng, Pokemon and Kecik. This monsters will never grow up unlike their siblings

Congrats!! Congrats!! Finally, huh?? Have not poo yet?? Maybe u shud bring her to the vet. If she's eating as usual,she shud poo as well.

For kitten, you can feed them as many as they want because like children,they are in the process of growing up. Need all the nutrition. Just make sure the food you feed her is kitten formulated especially the kibbles/biscuits. She must be very hungry because roaming around in the rain.

I think she understand that when she is in the cage time to sleep and rest. Out from the cage is iime to play with mummy and hugging time

My cats understand when I open the cage, the go inside by themselve. I cage them every nite so that I can sleep. Otherwise, party time for them.

I think SPCA does not cater treating outside animal. Only their in house resident animal.

Do you know that cat is smarter than dog?? Don't believe me?? Dogs have owner but cats have slaves.

Newborn until 1 mth plus yrs old kittens eyes always blue. When the grow up, their eye colour will change. Some will remain blue or green/blue. Siamese cat normally have blue eyes.

Guffy such a pretty girl!!! Finally she poo poo already. For now you don;t to worry about her health. Fatten her up and give her enough love and care. She will grow become a beautiful and sexy hot cat

Now, the next step is to vaccinate her when the time is up. Wait for another 2 or 3 weeks before you send her for fist vaccination and deworming.

Rice is a big no no!!! No grain for cats. Cats need protein.

The reason we not recommend u to feed with wet food for long time is because of cost. Wet food is costly and for busy people it is inconvenience to cook the food everyday. Kibbles is the best alternative. But, if you have only 2 or 3 cats, u can always give them wet food. Serve kibbles is like 4-5 times per week. As Merojak said, ayam rebus is also best option. Boil the chicken with water without salt. Then you cut the chicken in smal pieces before serve to your cat.

Added on November 25, 2010, 7:49 pmYou mean, feed her the deworm medication twice a day?? Deworm normally given every 3 mths or every 6 mths. No need to give every day.

This post has been edited by Listiani: Nov 25 2010, 07:49 PM

I know how do you feel reading from the internet without knowing the facts are accurate or not. Don't worry, you have every right to feel that way. The only thing that worry me is about why the vet asked u to give the deworm medication every day. U shud dbl chk with the vet again.

Cutiepie69 is right. Stomach because eating too much is ok but big and round with worm is worrying

I just don't understand why vet always said it is dangerous to spay on heat cat. With the latest technology, there's no such thing. The only reason why vet reluctant to spay on heat cat because their blood vein is bloated. If the vet really a vet, they can spay the cat. No such thing as dangerous. I have many times sending on heat catfor spaying and none of them died during operation.

The best way is to spay her. Pls do not add already over population cats in Malaysia. Most of the cats end up on the street become stray. I'vet met 1 abang in govt clinic said he has around 40 cats and don't believe in spaying his cats. But after sometimes he can't manage anymore and dump most of his cats in the market. He was in the clinic to neuter his cats. Don't u think his action is irresponsible?? How convenient, dump the cats when things out of control.
