I agree with this. All my 5 cats are also picked up by the roadside... going for vaccination will at least provide them some immune system they need rather than they always fall sick, then only bring to vet. That time, lagi waste time and money.

If can afford, then can go to nicer clinic, if can't then just drop by those government clinic where my neighbour always bring some strays there too...

yes some cat dont have problem.

there is one time i pissed off this this lady. i was telling her a story about whiskas and frieskies harm my male kitten until dapat gallstone block his urine. i do not blame whiskas/frieskies cos i know my friends give this food to their kucing kampung and no problem at all. and that lady also feed her cats and kittens with whiskas.

out of sudden she say "alah kucing kamu tu pendek umur, jangan salah kan makanan"... i was pissed off - and say i gtg run now. lucky she is older than me.

you see... how dare she said my kitten is pendek umur!!! im not blaming the food anyway. in my heart, i say - "who she think she is? god ah?"

Added on December 6, 2007, 4:03 pmi usually go to the government vet in cheras. not bad.. when i come, mesti ada those people training to be a pet nurse. so i tengok lah dorang training n kerja. very interesting

if go to private vet, the best part it, you can ask anything - even chatting with them if no other customer. government vet very hard to do this, cos they are all busy. no time to chit chat longer

Yeap, have to calculate how many kg too... In the end, the difference is really small

i.e: 2.5kg Orijen, RM50.00 and 2kg Science Plan RM40.00 (to make it 2.5kg, add another pack of 400g SP is RM10.00) So end up sama aje

Oh, that brand called "Smartheart"... That brand seems dodgy to me Looks like another Whiskas/Friskies...

I cannot tahan if the fur fall everywhere, I sure die one So far with Orijen, not much fur flying at all And yes, he eats very little of it only, but is growing a big belly already

I think those cheaper brands appeal more to cats because of the flavoring and such. I agree that some cats will prefer those cheaper ones than a really good quality one...



Aiyerrr, how dare she say something like that... If it's me, she'll definitely get a piece of me

Same as mine. My Stuart had it once.... I was so sad, not only me, my whole family was. It was in October 2005.

Everytime when I visited Stuart in the vet, i will surely cry. I just can't bear to see him like that... not sure how painful it is... goodnessss....

Stuart in the cage.

He is trying to clean himself as the tube in his penis will cause the urine to drip out all the time... ouch!!

Closer look of the tube inserted through his penis all the way to his bladder. There are 3 stitches so that the tube doesn't come out. OOucchh... how painful it is... so how can I not cry when I see this??

Thank God... everything is ok now... He is our cute healthy fierce little boy!



And i'm feeding him different food, he is on diet food from the vet. Just to play safe, i'm continuing the diet food for him...

yea be a smart buyer in choosing cat food. get the premium one.

the good part of orijen and innova evo, expensive but they eat less because of the high protein. 40% right?

about that lady.. my friend ask me to bake special cake for her, with 50% whiskas as ingredient, and send to her house without any tracking address ahahahah.. just pun in package infront the door. but its old story, i never visited her again. pity the cats to be with such owner.

This post has been edited by elfreakz: Dec 6 2007, 04:38 PM

He looks so kesian , but looks great once he's healthy

Just to share some of my babies pictures as i was searching through my blog for Stuart's pics just now, came across this few... Thought... just put it up la...

Caught my Buddy boy sleeping so soundly in between my pillow and blanket.

Pic 1: Ohps, he woke up, cats are very alert at any sounds.

Pic 2: Then he was doing some stunt, massaging the blanket.

Pic 3: Finally found a spot to sit properly as I'm on the bed with him taking his pictures.

Another pic taken another day...

Pic 4: Found Buddy sleeping on my bolster.

god will give you 101 miracle when you save this small creature..

Ohh, Hooverbell... Pity Stuart!

Lucky he is such a brave cat

He's doing fine now right? *hugs stuart*



Yeah. That day emergency out of Orijen and couldn't leave office early so the shop was closed, got hold of Science Plan... Now already got Orijen and my husband keep on complaining why is he eating less compared to SP that day?

I said, leave it be, he will eat it and it's good stuff for him anyway

It's 45% protein

I also like the fact that they include vege ingredients in it, so it is a wholesome balance food for cat/kitten

Ohh, I like your friends' idea! I think she'd love the cake till the last crumbs


KP

Some pics on Buddy and Tiger.

The scenario that i caught when i stepped into my house was this... *look at the pics below*

Pic 1: Buddy is trying to catching a bug outside the window while Tiger is looking at Buddy.

Pic 2: "Buddy, Tiger, look here, say cheese"

Pic 3: My huge Tiger

It's a joy to have furkids in the house. Oh well, sometimes can also cause us to have high blood pressure if they are too naughty... Hehehe, and i love to see my mom holding the cane around the house nowadays to scare them when they are too naughty... When we are young, mom will hold the cane for us, now mom using the cane for all my cats

Pic 4: Buddy (left) & Tiger (right)

Ya, thank God he is ok now... That's why i rather spend more in their food and vaccinate them and bring them for check up yearly rather than seeing them suffering... Once is enough.. i can't bear to see them suffer.

Added on December 6, 2007, 5:01 pmYes, agree!

---

Added on December 6, 2007, 5:04 pmYes, he is fine now, tks... he is very healthy and naughty! Everyday we have to use water spray to spray on him as a punishment coz he bully Buddy alot, everyday without fail... .

Added on December 6, 2007, 5:17 pmOrijen? hmmmm not sure if i come across this brand, maybe when i look at the packaging, i will know, hehehe coz i'm hard at remembering names

As for me, i'm using Eagle Pack holistic all the while. There was once, i tried to mix Iams for my cats so that they will have more mixture of nutrition... but they vomit it out... I tried it for weeks... they still keep vomitting... not so sure why... so just forget about it la... Now only feeding pure Eagle Pack only.

As for my Stuart boy, he will have his "special" diet food coz of the crystal he had before. I never wanna change other food for him as long as he is healthy.

*The location of the stone(s)



This is how your cat look like when trying to pee bcos the stone block his bladder. He cried in silent, its time for human to act

Ohh, Eagle Pack! Holistic food! That's really great

Yeah, Orijen is only found/sold at bigger pet shops or boutiques only, even the vet does not carry this brand... I think, where there is Eagle Pack sold, there is Orijen Well, that's so far my findings

Another type of holistic food which they say is good is the Azmira range... But sadly, it's not available anymore here due to the lack of interest from people...

I think Eagle Pack is slightly more expensive than Orijen. However, I don't think that RM160 is for a small pack, I'm sure it's a pack of 5kg above



Batu karang is batu karang lar... Like orang pun boleh kena batu karang kan... Like that lar... It will effect you bila nak buang air.



Aiyar, if you really care and want the best for your pet, we buy the food first, reload later...

I'm scratching my paycheck every month to try and give the best for my pets Ohh, headache...


KP

Past few days i was just thinking to change from royal canin to friskies so i can save some money.
Thanks to u all for refreshing my memory about the batu karang. forgotten about the issue already.
Next time, i'm going for Orijen. The largest pack (7kg) is a little cheaper (price/kg) than royal canin kitten i'm giving now & BETTER quality (45% vs 34% protein)

Uii, from RC to Friskies??

Don't lar...

Yeah, I found that RC (esp kitten) is actually slightly pricey than Orijen... If you get Orijen from the right place, you can get discounts and you can save from there too


KP

thank god you remember the side effect(s) ehehehe...

anyway orijen only come with 7kg is it? buddypetwagon also selling 7kg.

anybody who staying in apartment, and have outdoor cats? do they know how to return to which house and floors? or out of the blue they are gone?

Added on December 6, 2007, 7:12 pmkitten food always pricey then adult. but orijen one 2 in 1 right - kitten oso can - adult oso can
