Well, I ended up removing the stitches myself today. It kinda "have to" situation. One of the cats started to lick & pull the stitches last night. To prevent any injuries, I remove the stitches using clean scissors. Quite easy, the stitches removed easily & cleanly.

Let me tell you why you need a laser pointer for your cat:
1. Cats go crazy - Good exercise!
2. At night you can use it to point objects far far away and watch people freak out!

different people, different taste

u like bengal, najib likes ash, kor ming likes bsh, azeez likes maine coon..... no? same taste? same preference?

agreed with postenza10 , we do have different preference, some people can just simply adopt kitten/cat some just wanna buy what they love how their kitten exactly looks like.. such as bigger size cat like maine coon or scottish fold or long thick hair like persian, if there's any out there on the road got such stray kittens.. obviously we will adopt too.. it's not like we only loves particular cat.. we do love cats just we choose to keep the one we like the most with us? takkan semua pun mau adopt=.= well.. people do choose to spend their money differently

I've reverted back to using Orijen from Nutrience, almost 2-3 weeks back.
But nothing has changed.

My cat is an indoor cat, clean. She's active and plays a lot when we play with her.
I'm not too sure what other causes might be, besides food though. She was fine when fed with Orijen since the beginning, but her fur started dropping when I changed to Nutrience. And now having changed back to Orijen, the problem still persists

When I first brought my DMH in last year, her fur was still short as she was a kitten. Now her fur seems to be long and thick, however she does shed fur, but not enough for me to justify that her fur is less thick. Well, yes, it is less thick but not so significant.

Not too sure if this has anything to do with weather though, especially since my cat is still active and her daily routine has always been the same.
Perhaps I should try out other shampoos? Or are they any vitamins that I can give her?

I have an appointment for neutering a male cat this Monday. If you guys have any tips to share for pre & post-operative for me please share because this will be my first time neutering male cat. Thanks.

I'm aiming to neuter two males cat before Hari Raya.

I'm planning to do that. Thanks.
Basically similar post-operative with female cats? I was hoping to transfer him to 3-storey cage one or two days after surgery. Do you think it's good idea? With my girls around a month ago, I kept them in small cages which basically limited their movement. The thing with my cats is that they don't sits quietly, always something to do & living in rural area, basically lots of insects they like to hunt & play. Cage kind of necessary in my situation to limit their movement & to help the wound healing properly. Thinking that with male cat, the incision is extremely small, I wonder whether transferring him to bigger cage one or two day after surgery is a good idea or not.

For males its not an issue actually. They can move around after the operation as usual. Just don't bathe them for 10 days.

Btw I'm the co-owner of Purradise Cat Cafe

Would be interested to see its ingredient list then.
Rice is good for energy, but it should not make the bulk of their diet. If they're fine then they are likely getting more protein elsewhere. Maybe hunting the local rodents/birds or running around enough to burn off the rice they eat. When people talk about healthy cats and cats that live long, I find that people have different definitions of what is "healthy" and what's a long life for a cat.

For example an indoor cat lives an average life span of 12-15 years, some even get up to 20. While many outdoor cats pass on around the age of 8-9. Many even less. So many cats don't even live long enough for dietary problems to come into effect. High carb food has been found to be the biggest factor in feline diabetes.
Cats will hide pain and sickness to the best they can. It can be hard to detect problems in cats. Not saying that you're wrong or that your cats are unhealthy, but just be aware that they are rather resilient creatures that don't like to show weakness. For example, a symptom of feline diabetes is increased thirst/urination. Unless you're monitoring this properly, you wouldn't know if the symptom even exists.

All of the cats back then are outdoors though. I remember at least one female cat (our cat) live around 10 years. I don't remember how long other cats live though.

So far I have not notice any changes in water intake or urination with my cats. Not much variations in the amount of clumping litter I removed everyday. My cats live indoor but the oldest did live indoor & outdoor for a while before finally indoor again.
I'm pretty much in the same camp. What really work for my cats is rice mixed with boiled fish. The results are good bowel movements & no vomiting. Since I'm a "modern" cat owner, I always prefer more balanced nutrient pet food of course. Basically at the beginning I feed my cats kibbles in the morning & rice mixed with boiled fish in the evening. However when I started to stay with kibbles for both meals, my cats started having diarrhoea & vomiting. I changed the pet food a couple of times, because I'm pretty committed to balanced nutrient pet food, until I found one that worked for all of my cats. And it does contain rice in the ingredient.

As for wet/canned food, I can't find one that worked for all of my cats though. A couple of my cats will have diarrhoea when I feed wet food though. I have no idea why is that.

I never have fur problem with my cats. Of course if I didn't sweep or vacuum the floor for a week, there will be some clumping furs under the furniture and on the carpets.

In my opinion, pet food contain corn & rice & even by-product not necessarily bad. All "good" food is expensive to many people, especially that adopted many cats though.

I'm a raw feeder Controlling what goes in is great, but the best part is the level of nutrition they get is pretty massive. When I transistioned my cat from wet to raw, her fur became silky smooth, incredible amount of energy, smaller poop that hardly smells, no odor in breath, etc.

Hi all...

Is my cat ok?

hello. i have a problem.
i observed that my cat is having difficulty breathing. she's always in sitting position and stays that way for a long time because if she lies down her breathing becomes more difficult. i feel so sorry for her because she can't even sleep well and has no appetite at all. i brought her to our local vet, vet told me she has mild fever and injected antibiotics and provided some dextrose. but still no improvement and seemed that my cat's condition got worse that's why i want another option from a different vet.
any of you guys have an idea what my cat's sickness is?
i'm still at work now but i can't stop worrying.
thanks in advance for any inputs.
