First of all Congratulations on your new pet.
To prevent your cat from running away from the house you MUST cat proof your house.
Meaning..... put wire mesh on the window grills, door grills.
Putting her in a cage for 24/7 will stress her.
I dont believe in caging a cat unless it is sick or when I am cleaning the house.
Secondly NEVER NEVER cut your cats whiskas.
There is NO such thing as cutting the cats whiskas it will not remember its way back to the previous owner.
A cat"s whiskas is to help it to navigate around.
By cutting it, you will make your cat lose its navigation to go through holes or to lose its senses.
Dont believe in old folks tale ok?

In order to stop the hair under the body being tangled you should brush it daily.
Buy a good grooming comb which is not sharp at the edges.
Find a rounded steel brush.
Then comb the hair (lawan arah) only then comb like usual.

To untangle the hairs under the belly... dont cut it off but instead cut from above the tangle then slipt the hair into two and then slowly pull it apart. This way its easier to open the tangle rather then just cut it off and the fur will look ugly.

Good Luck!

Correction.....
Yes you can neuter a female cat when she is on heat however it will be slightly risky as the ovaries are swollen with blood and might loose a lot of blood during the operation.
I have sent several female stray cats who were on heat to be spayed and all went well.
So nothing to worry about.

Yes, there are a lot of cat treat receipes on line.
However I am too lazy to make la
I rather buy

My special treat to my cats is always on Sunday where I buy chicken breasts and boiled it for them
Fast and easy.

Here is a link for easy to make cat treats.
Happy cooking

No need to board.
Better to take care of your cat yourself.
Actually not hard at all to take care of cats after being nuetered or spayed.
For a female cat its best to cage them at least for a week.
Reason why, is to limit her movements so that the stiches will not open.
Everyday, you will need to check the wound to see if it is dry and healing nicely.
Once the wound has healed and dried up nicely then you can let her roam freely.

New rules....
Must get rabies shot and microchipped.
If you hand carry your cat then it will be considered as a luggage and you will be charged RM10.00 per kg. Depending on the weight of your cat
Please take note that Jabatan Haiwan will issue a health certificate valid for a certain period (not sure wheter 72 hours or a week) so you must travel within that period of the health certificate will expire and you will need to go through the whole process again.

I had no troubles at all when transporting my cat from Sabah to Sarawak.
If I am not mistaken you need to go to the Jabatan Haiwan's office in Jalan Penampang where the Arkib Negeri is.
The last time my father was directed to go there.
Please call Jabatan Haiwan Kepayan to make sure

Added on July 10, 2012, 5:09 pmYes, this vet is very expensive.
If your cat is a normal DLH or DSH you can neuter it at Klinik Kembiri Setapak.
Price is RM40 for male and RM60 for female.
This is the price I am getting.
Normal is RM50 for male and RM90 for females.
No need to board at all.
Just make sure you fast your cat the day before and then bring it for the operation.
You can bring it back the same day.
Other private vets are charging RM80 for males and RM120 to RM180 for females.

Secondly if it is under one month old it still needs to be fed with milk.

I never send my cats to boarding.
Usually what I will do is get a good friend or neighbour to help me to look after my cats.
I will ask them to come over to my house at least twice per day to feed and clean my cats and at the same time they will also help me to look after the house.
Of course I will pay them for their efforts.
At least your cat will be in its familiar surroundings and will not get stressed while you are away.

Hi thanks for the enquiry.
You can just let me know what products you want here

Hi there ClicknStick,

Sorry to inform you that the supplier is having problems with Quit at the moment.
Apparently Thailand is out of a few certain raw products and have stopped manufacturing for the time being.
Right now I only have Cats Agree priced at RM3.30 per tin.
Or KiwiSafe from New Zealand priced at RM3.50 per tin.

If she is underweight you might want to send her for a check up at the vet.
Maybe there might be an undelying problem.
No harm in getting her checked anyway.

To increase her appetite you can give her B complex pills (buy from HUKM) as the pills are small and easy to feed to the cats. Vitamin B complex will stimulate her appetite. Another option will be multivitamin called Uphavit which UPM usually dispenses to me when my cat is having diarhhea or sick to stimulate their appetite.

Another option is to feed her high protein foods like boiled chicken breast mixed with cheese or boiled egg. All this food is high in protein and will fatten your cat in no time.

Good Luck.

You have to feed it to her.

Of course not!
Just slowly open the mouth, put the pill far back into her throat, close her mouth and slowly stroke her neck so that she will swallow the pill.
Never, never feed your cat with force
If you dont know how to do it, please google on YOUTUBE.

Yes, its a good idea Pinkdalmation however the smell of the Vitamin B complex pill is very strong when crushed so not avisable.
Better to pop it into the mouth.
Another way is to put the pill inside wet food and let the cat it it.
I learned this from the vet

My dear PCMINC,

Of course the cats will claw at you when you try to feed it medicine but with the right techniques they will not claw you. Try what PinkDalmation or what I said earlier then your cat will not claw you if you are afraid.
My hands and legs are full with scratches from my cats but I dont mine as I love them very much.

Basically when a persian has no cert it will be called a Domestic Long Hair cat.
Unless your Aunty's cat is registered with CFA, TICA, FIFE etc then it will be called a Persian.
Roughly market price is less than RM500.00 for a Domestic Long Hair Cat.

Yup... DLH.
That is why people get cheated easily.
With RM2K you can get a pet quality cat with cert.
Like I said if the cat does not have a cert it will be known as a DLH or DSH even though its a pure breed.
I have a pure breed Exotic Short hair cat but since it does not have a cert it is known as a Domestic Short hair Cat in the world of cats.

Well... up to you.
You asked for an opinion and I gave mine.
FYI, I have lots of friends who are breeders eg Maine coons, Persians etc and for a show quality price would be RM3k and above.
Some catteries will sell pet quality for as low as RM2k and above.
Pricing also depends on the position of the nose of a persian cat.
The higher the nose the higher the price
The lower the nose the lower the price.
In your case the cat is only semi flat face so the value is definitely lower.
You can check out Mudah.com and you can find many cats like your Aunt's cat with prices as low as RM700 to RM500.00
