Better bring to vet to check

Such beautiful cats.

First of all, you dont need to cage up a male cat for 10 days after being neutered. You just need to cage it after its operation as it will still be groggy after the anesthesia. Once the anesthesia has worn off and your cat is fully awake you can let it out of the cage. This is because the operation for a male cat is a minor operation compared to a female. For females you will need to cage her for at least a week to minimize movement so that the operation wound can heal faster.

As to getting a cat pregnant after being castrated, of course not. The male cat might still show signs of mating eg mounting the female cat but getting the female pregnant is a definite NO.

First of all, there is no harm to breed a cat if you are a responsible person.
Before getting any female cat, please ensure that your cat and the female cat has been fully vacinated and all the necessary health checks has been done. This is to ensure that the babies produced are of good health.

All poops stink la Starfen.
I am sure that yours is too
Basically its all in the food that you give to your cats.
For instance if you give Royal Canin then your cats poop will stink of Royal Canin.
For me, I am using Blackwood and the poo is not as smelly like before

Just would like to share some pictures of my cats

Here is KiKi making a sad face as she wanted to follow me to work this morning... she is saying "Please mummy can I follow you to work? Pretty Please........

Here is Pandora. Pandora was given to me by a friend. I am still not sure if I want to keep her or not. Between doesn't she look like a Korat to you?

And here is my little Munchkin girl

Basically, it all depends on the cat.
If you neutered your male cat at a young age meaning 5 months or before he starts spraying, yes he will not spray after being neutered.
But if you neutered your male cat when it has already started spraying it's a 50/50 chance.
Some cats might forget to spray whereas some might remember the habit and will still continue to spray.
However, neutered males pee does not stink as much as non neutered males

To me Oko Plus is the best litter in the world.
First of all its cost saving and its not smelly.
Very very economical to use.
Its made from wood as well.
It clumps and can be flushable.

Frankly speaking, I never flush
as I have more than 10 cats in the house.
That would be a lot of flushing going on

Yes, you should neuter him to stop unwanted behaviour e.g. teritorial markings (spraying), getting other female cats around your area pregnant if he is half indoors and outdoors, eliminating his chances of getting prostrate cancer, making loud mating calls during the night, getting into fights with other tom cats in the neighbour and etc.

The best age for a male cat to be neutered is at 5 months of age. Some people even do it at three months of age but not advisable though as early castration can lead to problems in urinating when the cat gets older.

Your cat is exactly 6 years and 8 months old as per the cats age calculator

Added on March 31, 2012, 10:16 amI dont think the automatic scoop free litter machine is avaiable here in Malaysia but I do believe you can order it on the net.

Frankly speaking if you use clumping sand you are actually throwing out a lot of sand and that is the reason why it is not economical.

I am using Oko plus now which is made from wood that is clumping. When the cat pees on it, the urine will only clump in one tiny place. It will not spread out like when using the sand litter. So you will only throw a small piece (the size of a ping pong ball) away. One big bag lasts for 1 month 1 week and sometimes 2 wees for my 18 cats and I change the litter boxes every week!

Of course you can put the kittens in your room whilst you are sleeping.
My cats sleep with me
Your cat is trying to play with you that is why it is biting your leg.
Yes, it is possible for them to mate as they are not neutered yet.
Between how old are they?
Some kittens start to mate as early as 4 to 5 months old.
Be careful you might end up with a few more kittens on your hands.
Get them neutered soonest possible.

You should be very happy than cause when a cat licks you on the face it means that the cat trusts and loves you very much.
If a cat stares at you for quite sometime and then suddenly blink it means that the cat just kissed you.
Funny right? But I read this in the net

So sad.
My mum used to have a dog before she got married. It used to follow her to work and guard her scooter every day. Then my mum met my dad and they got married and moved to Sabah (she was staying in brunei). One day my grand mum called my mum saying that the dog would wait at her former office and did not want to come home and it got sick so my grand mum asked my mum to come home as clearly the dog was missing her. On the day my mum arrived it was too late. The dog died. My mum broke down and cried and never forgave herself for leaving her dog. When she told us the story i was so sad and cried.

Animals do have feelings. So please take good care of our pets.

Hello there Xuanyu9,

I have a few cats and kittens that I have recently saved from the streets.
They have been deflea and dewormed and litter box trained.
Very chubby and cute.
If you are interested, please contact me.
However this cats are just normal Domestic Short hair cats.
I have one or two that is with long hair however they are not ready for adoption yet.

Just get rub the ringworm cream onto her infected part.

Hi there Mike3300

I know a Scottish fold breeder that is staying in Ampang.
You can PM me for the number.
The Scottish fold that she has is very nice. The ears are very small and nicely folded.

Added on April 28, 2012, 9:43 amYes, I do agree with Beawolf64.
Every breed has its own characteristic.
Infact keeping any pets has its maintenance and if you are really into it the maintenance can be very high.
I have about 20 cats consisting of Exotic Shorthairs, Munchkins, Siamese, Persian and Domestic Shorthairs. So far the maintenance is moderate as I believe if you are consistent about their vacinations, food, supplements etc they will maintain a good and healthy life style then your medical expenses will not be high and thus maintaining them will not be an issue.

I find that BW is okay for my cats as to RC or Iams.
Before changing my cats food to BW, my cats were on RC and Iams and they shed a lot.
Total opposite of your problem.
Other than food causing your cats to shed could be due to the following reasons :-
- stressed
- weather too hot
- cats then to shed at least once or twice in a year.

So we need to pin point the reason. Not necessary food will cause cats to shed.

Hi there Nubnub75,

What to do before the operation :-

- please fast your cat at least 12 hours before the operation.
- strictly no food or drink please

What to do after the operation :-
Male
- after bringing home from the clinic put them in a cage
- do not put any food or water inside the cage
- when your cat is 100% fully awake only then you can take him out of the cage and give him food and water.
- males need not much care as castrating is considered a minor operation for them and after the operation you can see them run here and there as if nothing happened.

Females
- after bringing home from the clini put them in a cage
- do not put any food or water inside the cage
- when your cat is 100% fully awake only then put in some food and water inside the cage.
- you will need to caged the female for at least a week to minimise movement so that the wound on the stomach will not open up.
- you will need to check the wound on a daily basis to see if the wound is healing properly. If you notice that the wound has a bit water, wipe with a clean cloth and then apply 'minyak gamat' to help the wound dry up faster.

Good Luck!

Dear Skeleton,

It all depends on your cat's age, it could be any number of things. The most common things are urinary tract infection, kidney failure, diabetes, and thyroid problems. The last three are more commonly seen in older cats.

It's best to bring your cat to a vet for a check up. Better be safe than sorry.

Just my two cents

Frankly speaking brands sold in supermarket are usually the lower category. These food are high in monosodium glutamate @ salt and very low in nutritional value. If a cat does not drink enough water than there is a high chance of crystals forming in the urinary tract thus causing it to suffer from kidney stones @ batu karang which can be fatal. FYI, this only happens for male cats. Female cats do not suffer from kidney stones but still those food are not recommended if you want your cat to have a healthy lifestyle.

For me, practicsing cleanliness, ensuring that all my cats get their vacinations and yearly booster done and giving them premium food and supplements and LOTS AND LOTS OF LOVE will keep them away from the doctor
