Excuse me!
That is a very lame statement to say.
In the first place the cats become stray because us humans throw them out on the streets due to many reasons eg uncontrolable breeding due to not neutering their cats, too expensive too keep because too many etc. From two cats become six from six become twelve and so on. They multiply fast. Can you keep all? Maybe you can sell or give away but what if no one wants them so what will happen?

Due to no one caring for them they will become sick NOT because they were born that way or want to be that way.
Another thing if your cat mates with a cat has kurap does not mean the kittens will have kurap duuhh
Lastly, kurap can be cured and i have seen many kurap cats cured and become beautiful cats or must i say more beautiful than your cat

P/s you pay peanuts u get peanuts another thing what if someone say to you i dun want to marry you because you are not good enuf for me and scared that his generation will produce bad genes from you. How would you feel ya. Ouch!

Something to Ponder On........

Why are there so many unwanted cats and dogs? There are three main reasons: Many... people fail to spay or neuter their dogs and cats, who then reproduce, creating enormous numbers of kittens and puppies. People still buy animals from breeders or pet stores (thereby supporting the puppy mills that supply them) instead of adopting homeless animals. And people acquire companion animals without considering the lifetime commitment that caring for them requires. Eventually, people turn their backs on their loyal companions when they become "inconvenient" or "too much work."

The companion animal overpopulation crisis can be overwhelming, but solving it starts with a "no-birth nation." We must all prevent more animals from being born by spaying and neutering.

Who ever did that Poster is a dumb ass MF.
I rather butcher him or her rather than the cats as people like that contribute NOTHING in this world.

Theres too many 'SICKO'S' in the world nowadays.

Of course we get work up on that 'particular guy' because of him wanting to mate his cat with only 'CUTE' cats but do you know that all cats are CUTE and UNIQUE in their own way. Another thing is we are trying our best to CUT down the population of animals so that they dont end up as strays and get sick and die on the road, go hungry, get wet in the rain etc. Only irresponsible owners breed and when it gets out of hand there will be more strays in this country. And who are the ones who suffer? The animals of course! A person can breed if they are responsible for their actions but not BREED just because you want CUTE cats. If they are not CUTE? What will happen to the poor kittens. Think about it!

Well..... frankly speaking when I started out as a cat owner I myself did not know the outcome of breeding and what it will lead too if I did not learn to control it. After much learning from other responsible cat owners, reading cat forums and etc I found out its not as easy as I thought. Breeding a cat is not easy. People think I have a female get a male and then have cute kittens. But did it ever come across your mind that its not easy as that? Please refer to this statement :-

cat breeding can be nasty thing to do....too many thing need to be done...to many money to spend....maybe u can think it again.... ...if your cat give birth to 6 beautiful kitten...you have to make sure ready (money & time) for their vaccination schedule,deworming and many thing lol...if 1 shot cost you RM48-RM60..times 3 for each? .. so i think you can decide which one the best..you already a big person now...surething u can decide which one the good thing and the bad thing...beside many thing to be consider before breeding...your cat age..especially for the female..must not less than 1 year..,space for them,time for them,health examination(this cost me a lot of money&time)example FIV,FeLV,FIP,HCM,PK-Def and many more... your cat became like a lab rat lol...but just to ensure all future kitten doesnt carry any health defect...

just make sure your cat doesnt carry any dangerous disease is good enough...

If we dont do our research properly, we might breed sickly cats because the right steps was not taken. I have a friend who actually opened up a registered cattery breeding Exotic shorthairs but in the end he decided to close it as it was really time and money consuming.

Does not mean you have a pair of cats you can get healthy kittens. Before registered breeders 'breed' they will do a research on the sire and dams background and see if they are able to produce good temperament, personality, excellent health free from FIV, FeLV, FIP just to name a few. Nowadays there are a lot of people doing interbreeding e.g. mainecoon with persian, persian with bengal etc but not knowing whether it is right to do so or not.

I dont think it is wrong to advise him to neuter his cat rather than reproduce and start something that he cannot stop. Even the Government bodies like SPCA are encouraging all pet owners to neuter their pets in order to curb the stray population.

As for the lame statement about KURAP that definitely was a big NO, NO which I cannot accept.

Just my two cents.

Of course it came across my mind that not all people have the 'right' thinking.

I dont recall any of us calling him 'names'. We just could not stand when he started to look down on stray cats with kurap. How would you feel if someone look down on you because your face is full of pimples? I know cats are just animals to some of us but to me they have feelings and they did not ask to be strays and get sick and not having a home with love and care.

Do you know that one of the ways to stop a male cat from mis-behaving, getting into fights and hurting himself and other male cats and a big possiblity of infecting FELV or passing FELV to himself and other cats is to NEUTER the cats. Yes, that is right. It all goes back to NEUTERING.

Also, do you know that 'KURAP' can be cured just by using minyak gamat? If you say you LOVE cats then you should take the step to help this poor cat rather than catching him and dumping him in the market. That clearly shows that you are not being a responsible human being. Also... if you have no money how are you going to feed your cat if it gives birth to six kittens? How are you going to vacinate your kittens? Do you know that one vacination for one cat is at least RM35.00? I dont think that you cat and its kittens can survive on LOVE. Please do some serious research on being a responsible pet owner.

Here is a rough breakdown of having a cat/kitten :-

- Vacination and deworming RM40.00 x 3 months = RM120.00
- Yearly booster = RM40.00
- Premium food = RM100.00
- Cat Litter 10 L = RM20.00
- Supplements and vitamins = RM100.00
- Miscellaneous expenses (medical) = RM200.00

The above calculation is just for one cat. Imagine if you breed your cat and have 6 kittens? How much expenditure will that be?

Something to think about

Yes i agree with Verulin. For instance Klinik Kembiri setapak does neutering and the price is cheap so does klinik haiwan kerajaan in Cheras. My good friend and me will usually frequent klinik kembiri to neuter the strays at our apartment block to stop them from multiplying and i am happy to say that the population is not more than 10 cats now. Ocassionally there will be some idiots throwing kittens so what we do is neuter and find them homes. Recently two homeless kittens were sucessfully rehomed. It does not take much money to have them fix and we do this whenn we have a surplus in our pockets.

I just love chocolate seal point cats!
I hope that your friend will find a person who is responsible and at least knows the basic of keeping a kitten/cat.
Dont let the kitten go to anyone who ask for it especially somene who says I want the kitten because its cute.
Just a friendly tip..... ask your friend to interview potential adopters just to make sure that his kitten will go to a responsible cat owner.

Good Luck!

Do you think someone who cant bring a sickly cat to the vet is a good and responsible owner? You rather let the cat suffer in pain? For me if you cant afford to sustain a pet better dont have one. Owning a pet is a lifetime commitment. You need to give it love, food, care, medical attention just like having a child. No money just go and buy a virtual pet. No need money at all

I believe in the kampung they do have small government clinics for animals where medical officers are stationed there to assist the kampung folks when medical help is needed for their farm animals. I remember living in Beaufort town in Sabah where its about at least 2 hours drive from the city. During my time you can only reach the town by train as the highway was not completed yet. My cat was suffering from jaundice and there was not vet at all as it was a cowboy town. But even in a remote cowboy town there was a government jabatan haiwan where they could treat animals.

Exactly
Some human beings if we can call them human beings just think animals are living things that has no feelings!
Well wake up people!
Animals do have FEELINGS!
They can feel sad, happy and they can feel PAIN like we do.
Like i said dont want responsibility and dont want to waste money get a virtual pet la.
Maybe some of you are NOT passionate about animals but i AM.
I rather help animals as they remember and appreciate the people who help them unlike some human beings who take you for granted.

If its serious you can bring it to the vet in Taman Segar justblike demolationz said but bearbin mindbthe bill would be very expensive. If its not serious and can wait bring it to UPM in Serdang tomorrow. The charges more reasonable and some more got 15% discount.

Yup its true.
I normally send my cats there when there is something seriously wrong with them.
Upm is fully equipped and there are many doctors available.
Checking of animals very thorough.
Also given discount of 15% on overall bill.
Second visit consultation only RM15.
Worth it

Hope nothing serious with your cat.
Good luck!

Before you do that, please fast her for at least half a day to ensure that her stomach is empty.
By giving boiled chicken meat, it will absorb the bacteria from the intestine thus making your cats poo hard and not soft.
Another alternative is to get charcoal tablets from the pharmacy.
Divide the tablet into 1/2 and then feed it to your cat.
The charcoal will also help to absorb all the toxins inside your cats intestine and getting rid of all the bad bacteria.

Cantiknya!

So sorry to hear that.
Its very sad when you lose a pet

Such a nice person to take the kitten in.
Well.... its quite difficult for us to give you tips because we don't know how old the little thing is.
If its around one month, you will still need to give it milk.
Go to a pet shop and get 'Pet's Own Milk' and feed it with a syringe.
When feeding it put the syringe at the side of the mouth and slowly pump the milk in.
Dont do fast as you might get milk into the lungs and it will die.
If the small fella has teeth already, it can eat wet food but still need to give it milk.
Please dont buy the the cheap milk as it will only cause diarrhea in the kitten.
Good luck!
