anyone using silica cat litter?

would like to find out, does it really absorb the cat urine?
and also the cat poo sure will smear on the silica and make it dirty...?

cos i saw the silica is like small stone size nowadays, and for sure the urine will easily flow to the bottom of the box, cos the gap between silica is so big compared to fine clay...

bought that power cat from adabi.

my cat didn't like it.

give it to street cats. they didn't like it too.

epic failed. most probably their tester didn't provide other cat food to choose so their hungry cat have no choice but to eat it.

oh i tot of buying powercat to test too.

how does it smell? like any other supermarket brand?

i think smell of friskies n wiskas is considered ok n acceptable.

a litter box trained cat if put in a cage with any type of litter, will definitely use it, even tho he don prefer tht type of litter..., so u can actually force ur cat to use the type of litter u prefer, wait for him to shit or pee first in the cage befor letting him out. biggrin.gif

Hello, guys! I have a kitten (around 4 months old), she used to eat Powercat and smartheart before, but after I found out it's not good for my kitten, I switched to IAMS dry food. She doesnt like it tho. She only eat it when I put it on my hand. I tried giving her Royal Canin wet food and she love it. Mixed it a bit with IAMS and she eat both. However now her stools are really soft, sometimes it's 50% stool with shape and sometimes it just in liquid form. Is this normal because I recently changed from dry to wet or should I just bring her to the vet?
*
watery stool? u mean. if the frequency of ciritbirit is high, then better see vet, if normal poo time, then most likely food problem. try to stick with the type of food tht produce the best stool.

i believe iams definitely more palatable/smells better than powercat or smart heart. but iams the oren pack is not much better in terms of ingredient if u look at it. iams is much more expensive becos its made in usa, cost of iams u can get better cat food like happy cat, matisse, etc tht is cheaper.

a hungry kitten will eat any kibble given almost. but my experience is wit kucing kg oni.. lol..

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.
*
spaying in penang the lowest cost i have found so far is frm a vet @ bayan baru,

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.

imo, it all depends on how much you can tahan the fleas. some ppl can live with cats with some fleas, n they use natural remedies to keep the fleas in check. if your cat is 100% indoor, it is easier to manage.

one option is to use those flea poison like advantage, frontline, use it a few times to totally eliminate the fleas, then your cat wont get new fleas cos they r 100% indoor

advantage use different poison compare to frontline, adv cant kill ticks, but frontline can. ive found ticks on outdoor cats.

spot on poison is much more concentrated than spray version. and you r to only apply between the shoulder blade, behind the neck. to prevent the cat frm licking the liquid u can put ecollar on them n wait for it to dry. most cat wont show any problem aft licking it tho.

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.

Well, you don't catch them 3 times. You'll need to temporary adopt the stray cats until they are neutered & healed.

wht i mean bro, is doing tnr on stray street cats.. many of them are afraid of people n non human friendly, can only feed them by putting food. to bring them to vet u need to catch them wit musang trap.

i hv pm u the details,

last year I need to spay a mom cat still nursing kittens, so start to ask around rescue groups in penang where they send

the cats for neutering. thats where i got this klinik, they never mention gov clinic, so you have to find out whether there is such a service in penang.

the price for female stray cat is RM150, need to notch the ear to show it has been neutered.

ask around you will find the price difference.


btw, in KL the lowest price of neutering cat is by a private vet, even lower than klinik kembiri spca..

this is the price in 2011, now 2017 of cos not the same anymore biggrin.gif

where is your loc?
for cat u go buy musang cage, can get the cage easy frm shop need to find. it is like a big rat cage.

dont use the stick cos will hurt the cat when struggling. use a big net.

or u can use a dog/cat carrier put food inside, n close it when cat goes in.

cheapest way is musang trap.

got a few group in fb where u can post for help.

The vet didn't know/expect the antibiotics was the cause. I had to google online and voluntarily stop it and the vet also agreed later since my cat stopped vomitting after I stopped the antibiotics and vomit medication.

clavamox is very often prescribed to cats by vets, most of the time it doesn't cause any problem.
