looks ok.. but if u want some reassurance check with vet or watsap vet the pic.

dont let kitty lick the wound.

apply antibiotic cream if provided.

It look swollen. You should bring your cat back to vet ASAP.

Thank you for replying. I've brought her to the clinic and the vet said might be a reaction to the suture. Nothing to worry about

Ya many cats get that weird bulge thing after neutering. Glad she's OK.

found and adopted a kitten about 3 weeks ago.

This poor kitten was super lucky because he was in the middle of the road and by the time i pass-by, he was actually underneath my car (not sure how many cars before me) and immediately stopped my car roadside and witnessed few cars almost ran over this poor kitten. Picked him up and put inside my car as the mother was not near my sight (as i am rushing to workplace as well).

i will continue later for what i have done within this 3 weeks as i am first time being a pet owner/owned.

Good job! These poor little guys got almost no chance without a mom or dad cat to fend for them.

thank you!

continue...

first sight; medium hair, look clean and small size by judging this poor kitten around 1 month old. Barely palm size and weight around 200g.
brought him to workplace and spent a day in my office. lucky he behaved ok except 'hiss' me few times at the beginning. Made milk (that time i was not aware that cow milk is no no for cat) and he had very little. slept most of the time but still roamed around and not too noisy.
After work, brought him back to the place where i picked him up and search for his family. spent 45mins searching and sweating around the area but no sign of it. Still wonder where this poor kitten from . Decided to bring him back home and thinking what to do with him next.

As he was small in size and therefore decided to feed him with replacement milk for cat. Even bought baby-cat feeder with silicon-nipple. Finally home, me and my wife decided to clean this cat by warm-bath with cat shampoo. i was shocked by the numbers of flea that attached to the body and furr. There were like hundred of them and we had goosebumps! oh poor little kitten. As we washed him from body first, the fleas escaped from body/neck to his head and i was like OMG!!! We tried the best to clean him without hurting removed as many fleas as possible. Immediate dried him up and warmed him with milk feeding.
Accident happened as this starved kitten bite the silicon-nipple off and swallowed part of it!! i was so worried whether it will block his throat and etc but still need to feed this kitten. So poured the milk to small bowl and he had the milk from it. As it was night time, we have no experience on this kind of situation before and therefore what we can do is look for my friend, Mr. Google whether will it caused problem to the cat or not. Decided to monitor for the time being and to check on his condition time to time.

we have no cage of course and therefore put him in a big paper carton with newspaper as litter material and cloths as his bed. We had sleepless night as we worried that he might 'kaput'. Fortunately he was doing good and seems to have a good sleep without any sound. A night past, the milk that we put almost emptied and he was also peeing as usual but no poo-poo (i think he was milk-fed).

The next day decided to bring him to vet nearby our area for checking as we were still worried about the silicon-nipple that he swallowed. Vet checked and told us the kitten is actually a 'HE' . We actually thought he is a 'SHE' when we washed him as no testicles found. There is a little bump near the anus. Then we told her about the silicon-nipple incident and vet performed a checking on it and she told us not to worry because no sign of blocking/clogging. What a relief The vet also commented this poor kitten is actually roughly 8weeks old and therefore he has the ability to bite off the silicon-nipple. However, he was seriously under size and must has not fed nicely before. She immediately let the kitten eat RC 'Recovery' canned wet food in the clinic. De-worm was done and prescribed multi vitamin for this poor kitten. Vaccination will only be done when he gains some weight. Vet told us to return few weeks later for 1st vaccination and i am actually planning by this weekend or maybe another week later.

i will stop here for the time being and to be continue later

CanonLee, that is very nice of you. Thank you for taking care that kitten.

many thanks to you. For almost a week I ran thru CAT LOVERS topic and you gave alot of guidances and suggestions which enlighten me.

well officially 3 weeks taking care this kitten. As i am new to cat, do a lot of studies and also checked this topic occasionally.

bought:
1) litter box x 2 with clumping clay type, scoop and etc relevant to litter
2) single level cage but not too small size (put 1 litter box, food&water tray, 1 container as his bed)
3) food, Blackwood kitten
4) small toy and cushions for him at this favourite spots

we thought he was not familiar with litter box for peepoo and even tried to stimulate his anus
that's why so happy to see him pee and poo in the litter box after we prepared for him. However was once poo on the floor maybe because of diarrhea. Sometimes poo near to the edge of litter box as well. But we are fine because no pee poo other than litter boxes.

Bought BW kitten to him after finished the RC 'Recovery' and he likes it very much. No wet food since then and texture of poo is ok and good flow. He did poo frequently (more than 6 times a day) during full wet food and therefore vet suggested to feed him only dry food during the 2nd vet visit.

For the first few days, we let him roam around if we at home and caged him during our outing. We monitored over a weekend to check his behavior and found out he was not happy with cage. He bite the cage, climbed up and down inside. However he did good outside the cage and thus we decided to let him free even no people at home. Cage is just for night sleeping time. For the past 2 weeks, he is totally OK! No mess and damage to the home.

Anyway, he is super active and playful. Likes to bite our foot and hands. i guest he is just too small to stay calm and chill. Brought a lot of laughter to us and we are happy with his presence

Future plan, feed him well then get him vaccinated and will arrange neutering whenever the time is right.

Day 1

A kitten being a kitten. Good job!

When you got to work/outing and then return home, did he greet you at the door?

always wait near the door recently. First few days hide under cabinet.

thats what we are thinking. Now we are entertaining him 100% while he still playful. I believe when he grows older, he does not even bother to look at us.

last year i have stuck my nose near all those sample cat food kibbles.. and came to the conclusion

that all made in taiwan cat food doesnt smell good at all.

Doesnt matter it has very good ingredients etc, but the smell...

I saw many visitors are afraid and dont bother to smell the food that their cats eat..

Wah very detailed write up. The biting is normally because the kitten wasn't weaned off properly by the mother. My cat around 4 months now still like that. Dunno if it will ever stop... But controlled bite at least. Its always stressful to get a new kitten. But congrats and seems you both are having a lot of fun 😁

no buy one free one.. dealer price is cheaper for most items..

yeah so much fun. but foot and hands scratches a lot. Sometimes even bleed.
not sure when he will stop and soften the biting.

Went for 1st vaccination last Sat. Weight almost double compared to 2 weeks ago (currently weight around 850g).

Tapeworm found in stool and vet fed him tablet type deworming. Spray him Frontline on the furr as well.

first timer to pet expo.
Went MECC on Friday evening. Collect some kibble samples and freebies. Just bought small pack of Happy Cat kitten kibble with RM5 and few bags of clumping litter.
manage to win a free tic to KL Tower mini zoo from lucky draw

Get a nail clipper for cat. I think RM10 or so at petstore. It helps hehe. But just clip the tip only. Can YouTube how. For the biting dunno will slow down or not. But I dukung my cat move her tail or feet around and she will bite them. so she know sakit. Lol. Some people say when cat bite you make a pain noise and they will learn that it hurts. I dunno.
