QUOTE(spunkberry @ Aug 1 2017, 01:02 AM) Im planning to spay 2 cats soon that visited around my housing area. But is it a good idea to feed them? I live in low cost flat area and the community seems content to let the cat to starve. I feel bad seeing the cat are so skinny and previously there had been cases where kittens died because of lack food. It was terrible because I was there at its last moment. The sound the kitten made when it was about to die was scary and sad.But at the same time those cats defecate and urinate everywhere and left terrible odours. It would be nice if this is solve but leaving them to starve seems very inhumane. |

QUOTE(usmanjailani @ Aug 15 2017, 11:01 AM) i have extra worm med (from vet) from others cats..does it have an expiry date?.if im not mistaken, i got it last april.. Yes, there is expiry date for the medicine.If you know of a vet that is reasonably priced, you should bring your kitten there for check up. Involuntary discharges aren't normal, and we really can't tell what could be the problem. My suggestion is to go see a vet asap. |

I feel bad seeing the cat are so skinny and previously there had been cases where kittens died because of lack food. It was terrible because I was there at its last moment.

Spaying the cats definitely helps with the overpopulation of cats But at the same time those cats defecate and urinate everywhere and left terrible odours. It would be nice if this is solve but leaving them to starve seems very inhumane. As for feeding the strays, lots of people have very strong feelings about that, I have certainly heard a lot of argument about why we shouldn't feed the strays. I feed strays at my area, but my area has basic cleaning for hallways and stairs, and I seldom see animals dirtied the properties. I am not too sure about sending the kittens to shelter though. Many shelters kill animals that is not adopted within certain time, I am not comfortable about doing that. Several no-kill shelters that I know of, is so overwhelmed and I am not sure they can cope with extra animals. |

Hi, I've recently adopted 3 cats: 2 kittens with her stray mother. Hope we can learn from each other as I blog on their adventures staying with my family of 3 young boys and a puppy. Anyone else have both cats and dogs under one roof? How to handle as their introduction is already very interesting and intense?

the stray animal issue is a never ending problem worldwide.
i think that it is the government that should initiate and work towards reducing strays. i have been following works if ngos and individual private rescuers for some time, so far all of them are concentrating on rescues, have not seen any that starts working to solve the " source " of the problem, as usual , talk is easy.. so lets start with cat, why so many stray cats? - still many people are against spaying.. - spaying/neutering is EXPENSIVE to them, recently the selangor gov has started to subsidize spaying this is a very good start. but selangor as malaysia's richest? state can do even more. the subsidy is limited and many will not bother to go for it, many still haven't heard of it. animal activists / ngo etc can actually go and spread the info, talk to ppl, help them get their cat neutered.. |

I agree rescuing is just trying to fix the problem not the source. If found people to adopt it's good else finally they put down the animals also right?
Spaying is actually quite expensive as my vet says need to vaccinate 3 times first before spaying the mother stray. Is that true elsewhere? Only way is SPCA or vets offering free spaying as a public service but doubt will happen as a big source of vets income. Any subsidy in Penang? The other is illegal breeding farms which folks just need to stop buying pets but start adopting free from friends and centers. That's just my opinion right or wrong. |

That's just my opinion right or wrong. the trap neuter and release group in pg send the cats to her for spaying and neutering. normal vets will say need to fully vaccinate 3 times, but hey we are dealing with strays you know, first catching them is an issue, now you want to catch them 3 times in 2 months then only can spay/neuter them? by tht time the females already given birth. so the vets that support neutering/spaying, would not insist on fully vaccinate the cats and dogs, they will just vaccinate once and then neuter at the same time. ngo and vet cant afford to offer free neutering, it is the local gov or some rich organization that should do it. penang gov is planning a neuter stray program, not sure when it will happen. |

I rescued 2 cats and recently found they have fleas. Was clean last time I checked.
Now with flea comb can whack about 5 to 10 initially but now because of regular combing and bath already down to 2 to 3 per day and today is zero. But I believe they will come back so I started buying a bagged vacuum to clean the floor and sofa/chair they sleep on. I bath my cats in dish washing soap for now. I have not used any active spot-on products yet, should I ? I am considering advantage for cats but I heard from pet store salesperson that it is not allowed to be sold in retail, and it's vet prescription only. Should I use a spot-on product to turn my cats into a walking flea bomb? I doubt my vacuuming/cleaning can get all the eggs/larvae immediately, as I am trying to permanently break the flea life cycle and I wonder if spot on products would help in addition to baths, vacuum, flea combing. |

Rm 100++ for 3 pipets. But because I have 2 cats, oh boy the cost is going to skyrocket. |

i hv bought revolution last time, yes most expensive, but heart worm is not really a concern for cats.
you dont hv to use it every month once the flea is under control. frontline is cheapest n effective. if u use the spray type is better cos spray abit on the section where u find alot of flea droppings, put ecollar so the cat cant lick, wait til it dries. the fleas will go there n kena poison. hv to be carefull dont kena the cat eye when spraying, put d nozzle close to the skin, small squirt, use glove n rub the area so it spreads.. dont hv to follow the instruction, cos it is too excessive. aft one round of flea shampoo, most of d flea will b killed. |
