looks like your place is having flea infestation.

first you have to read up and understand about flea life cycle.
then you will have some idea on how to control and prevent fleas.
it will save you $$$ without the need to call pest control ppl,

Depend on the severity of the infestation, it will take time to bring it under control,

time means months, not just a few days.

Most important thing is pls do not over " bath " your cats and over dose them with pesticide!

Front line spot on Works!
You just need to understand how it works.
And some extra steps is needed to make it more effective.

The dosage is once a month, do not use other brand of poison on the cat during that period.
too much poison is always not good.

Assuming your hse is infested, meaning there are fleas in all stages everywhere,
eggs, larvae, cocoon, adults..
so to get rid of all these, takes time.

restrict your cat 100% indoor.
Give it a bath, apply spot on/spray.

U need to vacuum n clean the entire hse, esp the places that your cat likes to hang out,
if cat sleeps on ur bed, on furniture... then all those places can have eggs , cocoons, larvae..
cocoons can be dormant up to 1 year it seems, so yes.. very tough n time consuming.

( all these infos u can find online )

so imagine the amount of work that you need to do
thts y some ppl keep cats strictly outdoor .. ( thts another story )

if u think pest control ppl charge alot,
the pesticide they use is always smelly.

if u want to DIY ,
u can go to hardware shop n buy these, mix n spray,
dont spray all over the floor, just along the walls n corners.
these pesticide have no odour, it can kill alot of other insects, termites, so be careful.
just like ridsect etc only, but these are more cost effective n have no smell + water based.
The active ingredient is the same for these 2, just that for these 2 labels, there is no odour.
keep it safe.




if the fleas do not bite you n other ppl at home, then u r lucky,
u can just use your cats as bait to kill all the fleas.
fleas need to be on your cats to feed.
it will take time.

back to " spot on" and other type of flea drops.

if ur cat is big, over 4 kg, it is less effective to use drops because,
you are instructed to drop the liquid behind the neck,
the poison is not able to spread to other parts of the cat effectively.

Fleas that likes to hang out around the backside, underbelly etc, wont' get in contact with the poison.
they wont get killed.

It is better to use frontline spray.
the spray poison concentration is way less than spot-on, so u need to use according to instruction.
and spray the entire body, ( minus the head ) be careful the eyes.



wear surgical gloves, and spread the liquid all over the skin, and let it dry out.

even tho the instruction did not state this, but it is better to e-collar the cat first, and wait for several hours or
one whole day, to let it dry out, before removing the collar.

when u manage to bring it under control, then u can start explore the natural remedies to prevent fleas.

good luck

Many thanks for the suggestions.

Yes, we've been bitten by the fleas. sooo itchy and already left dark spots on me

where to get broadline?

u mean frontline?

broadline

oh ok, broadline is flea and wormer into a drop... by merial,.

i think it is not available here...

u want to make sure u can call up rhone ma, they are very good at marketing, so if

this product is available sure can see in pet shops vets and pet expo recently they got huge stall there..

besides.. wana kill worm in stomach... use the poison apply from skin...

effective??

so just use drontal...

i read about it on star paper this morning

what does it say?

ad? article?

ok after digging google,

this doc came out,.,

seems it is newly imported by rhone- ma

and the health ministry states that only can be used by registered vets..

https://www.aseanlip.com/assets/uploads/ase...a-Sdn.-Bhd..pdf


so i think the price will be pricey...

advertisment on star paper

Adding an inguiry here as well...

Looking for a 2 storey mid-size Cat Cage say around 2.5 ft wide and maybe up to 4 feet or more in height... Prefer something nice instead of the current black powder coated/painted wire frame with wire frame as platform..
Seen some nice cage in the internet with nice plastic/metal platform and colored structure. but all seem overseas...
Anywhere in Kuala Lumpur (Klang Valley - PJ, Klang ) Pet shop that would have such cage/crate and wont cost a bomb?

affordable cage will be those wire type and powder coated and foldable.

next up is thicker poweder coat, thicker wire, foldable,

next up is non foldable , u need to screw or bolt on the frame.

the plastic platform, so far ive seen one type, they call it " full tray " cage.

or u can diy put ur own board, mdf board, card board, plastic board.



so far i found this seller price very competitive...

u fb " sangkar kucing murah delivery " and compare his price frm pet shops.

or mudah got one seller frm batu caves, his shop is near center point there,

his price is unbeatable really!

i think my cat currently on her first heat..she suddenly meowing louder, overly manja & sometime behaving weird lol...her age is around 6-7 month...should i spayed her when the heat cycle is over? or can i spayed her now?

This post has been edited by skystrike: Sep 24 2017, 08:08 PM

one example for you.

https://thecatsite.com/threads/spaying-a-cat-in-heat.210662/

after reading the above, you can consult / ask your vet what does he/she think.

I recommend waiting for heat cycle to over. Many vets may willing to spay cat in heat but some vets prefer not to. There's risk when spaying cat while in heat. As cat's owner I wouldn't take the risk. First timer cat in heat usually just last a couple of days & long period of "cuti" before the next heat cycle. Then you can spay your cat a week or two after the heat cycle is over. I remember my vet said two weeks. Sometime on the day of the surgery, if coincidentally cat is in heat, if vet already opened the cat, they will proceed with the spay anyway, same thing if the cat is pregnant. There's no exact number of delay/period between heat cycle.

To answer your question, yes, you can spay her now but there's risk doing so while she is in heat. It is also up to your vet too.

I read somewhere cat actually don't like it. Then again my cats only understand if I asked them to eat, go out, come in or when I get angry at them. They can never tell me if they like wearing those collar.

I wonder how they find out cat don't like it. Maybe their cats are smarter than mine.

u mean like this ar?



google the pics la..

online /taobao got alot...

like it ornot depends on ur cat..

one look at his/her face you will tell if he/she likes it or not...

dont do this outdoor, very hot for a furkid in msia....

it highly depends on your cat. one of my cats will probably just accept it after complaining ... the other one immediately tries to take anything off, even her e-collar.
