My cat is indoors and always clean, even her ears.
Yes, it's infectious, but not fatal. It's more of a nuisance fungus as it attacks the skin of the cat, causes hair loss, scabs, flaky skin and even bleeding due to excessive scratching.

Cleaning ears regularly might not exactly have anything to do with ringworm, as the spores of the fungus are airborne and invisible to the naked eye. I believe she probably caught it during her stay at the vet during her surgery. Or from what the vet told me, could be due to change in food as well. Alternatively, some cats are born with ringworm, but in dormant stage, and it will show as they grow older. She's not scratching as much now, but she licks her hand and wipes of the antifungal cream, which defeats the purpose of applying it, that's why I've gotta use the e-collar for now.

Hopefully those spots heal within a couple of days there wouldn't be a need to use the e-collar anymore.

I donno why I thought about ears though, especially I have ringworm page opened & read before I replied. I hope your cat get better soon.

My cats also indoor too & generally their ears are clean but every now and then a couple of my cats do need help in cleaning their ears though. I just clean the outside, not in the ear canal.

dear kizwan
thanks for your concern

my cat had all of a sudden, became "90% normal" on saturday morning, the morning on which i was suppose to bring him back to the vet

as of today, he is getting better and better and more normal. i am really thankful. he is eating again and i did see him drinking as well. the thing is, whenever i have the time and resource, i will bring him back to have a scan to make sure what kind of garbage that he have in his stomach (which i hope wont happen). until then, i can only learn from this experience and hopefully be more caring and alert about his activities (especially to stop whatever that may harm him)

prior to that, just to share my experience, i have been feeding him with liquid aloe vera concentrate. i think it helped him tremendously. aloe vera is very useful for human gut health, it previously helped my wife with her long term gastric problem (a problem since born), and aloe vera "cured" her. i googled and found some info about aloe for cats. apparently, aloe can benefit cats as well

sorry that this may not be related to cats, but i wish to share about the benefit of aloe vera to us humans. if you have gut and digestive system problem, try aloe vera. its VERY good. especially to those constipated and suffer from gastric and gut problems

i will be monitoring my cat closely for the next week... i hope he is healthy again...

thanks again to everyone for the support and advice

meow!

It's nice to hear that. Thanks for the tips on the aloe vera. I feed my cats with ACV, mixed in their drinking water. It have helped my cats a coupe of times. I will need to read on the aloe vera.

hi all,
my cat always like to pee on my bed.
anyone got the best solution to avoid it?
*
Well, there's a lot of ways. Just you need to figure out what works for your cat. Did your cat poop in the litter box but pee on the bed? Did your cat neutered/spayed? Preventing your cat from getting in the bedroom is one way.

he did poop and pee in litter box. but sometime he will purposely go to my bed and pee. and last weekend he pee on the pillow.  cry.gif

not neutered yet, planning to bring him to, by the way the charges will be around how much??

my cat is staying with me in my room. my bed is a bunk bed and now the only way is to avoid him to go up the bunk bed. but when im not home. he will try many ways to go up.
*
That is the reason. Peeing on the pillow & bed is his way marking the territory. Neutering around RM1xx to RM2xx, depending on the clinic. If you go to Jabatan Perkhidmatan Veterinar clinics, the cost maybe much cheaper, below RM100.

If by "pee" we're talking about spraying, neutering won't do much for it. He'll still do the same thing after neutering.
*
His cat peed on the bed & pillow. If it's against vertical object, yeah he will be spraying. Well I attributed his cat peeing on the bed/pillow as an act marking territory because his cat have no problem peeing in the litter box most of the time. Also I have experience with unneutered male cats that did both spraying & peeing to mark their territory even though that cats don't have problem peeing in the litter box most of the time. I'm not entirely sure but if male cat peeing in front of the door, I think that like a calling card "I'm here" to female cats. Pretty much like un-spaying female cats that peeing near windows.

"He'll still" is not entirely true. Behavior doesn't change immediately after neutering but it does slowly changing. Do you know male cats can still impregnate female cat weeks after neutered? It can take more than a week for the male’s testosterone levels to drop. So, your cat may still spraying or peeing on undesirable places in this time but he will eventually stop once testosterone levels drop. I have seen neutered cat mount a female cat but after a couple of minutes wrestling, the male cat suddenly stop. What I'm trying to say here that he will eventually loose the urge spraying or peeing outside of the litter box.

Hmmm...the surgeon just need to remove the testicles as far as I know. Unless the surgeon only removed one testicle... hehe. Seems somehow testosterone level in your cat still high. Anyway, respect for still be patient even after 10 years. thumbup.gif

Wondering; do your cats favor distilled/mineral water over tap water ?

My cats drink both but I fill their water bowl with filtered water. I have one of those reverse osmosis water purification machine.

QUOTE(owenwong84 @ Dec 30 2015, 03:45 PM)
My cat also pee on the sofa and master bed.
Strangely she doesn't pee on the small bed which i sleep.
My cat live indoor condo.. 1 litter box put in the room. Change the whole sand everyweek. Vet checked her bladder is ok. I wholeday in house talk to her, sit with her. Still doing business in the litter box.

Strange thing i discover is, when she successfully pee the sofa and master bed, she will run wildly and making ngaw ngaw ngaw sound to nobody. Not miaw sound.
I scold her and spray water where she pee for warning.
Her pee smell can't get rid 100%...
But still, she will pee that 2 places when i'm not around.
*
That ngaw ngaw ngaw sound is cat booty call. Did you spay her yet?

Yep, spay her 2 years ago.
Can cat see ghost?

Is this suddenly happening recently or since the last 2 years?

I believe animal can see what we can not see. Anyway, your cat make that sound probably just playing around. Hard to tell unless I'm there but my spayed girls also like to sprint after peeing/pooping in the litter box. Yeah, my girls also hyper little bit after doing the business. They also like to fooling around too like wrestling with each other or racing with each other. The only difference your cat probably don't have other cat to play with, I'm assuming you only have one cat.

Regarding peeing on the sofa, I think it's good idea to get another litter box & put near there. Watch your cat behavior after that. Also some cats also super sensitive if the litter sand is non-clumping type. A couple of my cats also super sensitive with the smell when I use non-clumping litter before, even if it is only one day old. Surprisingly they still poop in the litter box but peeing outside litter box. Changed back to clumping litter, no problem.

I bring my cats for long distance travel twice a month.
Sepang-Gemas (approx. 2 and half hour journey) and Sepang-Ampang (approx. 40 minutes).
What I did is just sprinkle some water to their feet before the ride and they'll straight make that icky walk to the litter box and pee/poop.
If they don't have anything in their bladder, they'll just ignore it.

Make sure you put them in a carrier. And brace yourself for the constant meowing as they don't normally travel.

Good luck!  biggrin.gif

I don't know that. Thanks for the tips. biggrin.gif

I agree putting the cat in the carrier when traveling. This way they don't panic & disturb you while driving.

I figured that out when they are playing with each other and accidentally stepped on spilled water (which they spilled when playing  sweat.gif  )
All 3 of them stopped, wiggle their feet and make their way to the litter box.  biggrin.gif

Did you try slowly pouring water from one glass to another near them? I wonder whether they also feels the urge to pee when they hear the water pouring slowly. Haha. laugh.gif

I'm in Bukit Puchong. There are 4 feral cats around my house, 2 male 2 female which I like to send for neuter / spay. I have budget constraint so maybe I can only send 1 of them per month. May I know how much is the cost and any recommended vet near my area?
*
Go to Jabatan Veterinar clinic if you're budget constraint. Will cost you less than 100 per cat. Just remember after surgery, you will need to cage them for a maximum 2 weeks, no jumping or running, before you can release them.

Anyone familiar with Nematodes? Where can I get it? It's to control fleas population outdoors.

Also what is the Diatomaceous earth? Also where can I get it?

mixed my cats' kibbles with DE, for almost 5 months already. any obvious impact? none i could say. or maybe at least their coat a bit shiny. (not sure caused of DE or other diet.)

theoretically, it helps de-worm naturally. 

someone sell food grade DE in garage sale, you find it there.

I'm actually looking for the DE powder type that I can sprinkle to the floor, carpet, bedding, etc to kill fleas.

Anyway, food grade DE sound interesting. I'll research on it later.

please do some reading, as the powder (in powder form) has some side effect if it is exposed to the cats. some sharp element in the powder can harm the cat.
*
It's harmless actually, that's why I'm looking for it. The razor sharp you're talking about is only microscopic which as you know only harm the fleas. Reason why I'm looking at DE is to change to more safer solution than the regular anti-flea & tick drops.

I want to do the same thing, occasionally applying DE to cats which helps protect your cat from fleas. Flea have no chance after jumping to your cat because it will be killed by the DE.

I live in rural area & fleas come from the soil. This time around with less rain is their peak season. My cats already protected using anti-flea & tick drops which I applied earlier this week. My cats live indoor too but nothing stopping the fleas from outside jumping in. That's why I'm looking for Nematodes for outdoor & DE for cats/bedding/carpet.

I found the thread at garage sales. Thanks.

I have managed to turned a couple of skinny cats to not skinny anymore. In addition to kibbles which is their regular food, I also fed them two spoon of wet food with every meal. Skinny cats doesn't eat a lot, that's why I didn't changed to wet food altogether. 2/3 of the wet food would be wasted.

Same here. I feed my cats two spoon of wet food per cat. It actually a soup spoon. So it's slightly bigger spoon. The rest goes into the fridge.

I have google the symptoms. seem similar to cataracts. but my cat is only 8 months old and is not obese.

Initial observation i could say the cat is less playful like before.

i'll consult with the vet this Friday. now, will observe any significant changes in cloudiness.

Corneal injury can lead to the same thing too. Corneal injury/scrathes >> infection(s) >> white layer. I don't recommend delaying but it's your call. When it become serious, it can take a long time to heal.
