Got two cats...Can I use one cat home/cage for two cats?
Or must buy two?

Can give suggestions where to buy cat home, not cat cage...
I'm looking for the type that similar to house where got place for cat to sleep and pee/pangsai (put cat sand)

And price estimation also

thanks and appreciate the suggestions, i end up buying a 3 storey cat cage and buying a plastic container with enough height for the cats to poop n pee...

i manage to get with RM300, but cheap price comes with cheapo quality la...
anyway, acceptable for me for the quality as i focus on spacious cage for two cats...

can cats consume dog biscuits?
i got two cats, both are stray cats, one is around 6 months old, one is around 2 months old...

the younger cat prefer dog bisuits, sometime she will eat dog biscuits together with my dogs...
the older cat is raised by another kind auntie, and i adopted it 2-3 weeks ago, she consume cat biscuits...

now i purchased cat canned food and i intend to finish it then give both cats dog biscuits...
can the cats eat them? would affect them from health perspective?
or i need to get cat biscuits?

my intention is to save cost, but if its affect their health, i dont mind buy cat biscuits...


i got two dogs at home, aged around 6 months, also stray dogs

appreciate the reply..

from the seller of the pet shop i buy dog biscuits, she told me dogs that are less than 1 year old, must have high protein intake
for this reason i bought the dog biscuits she recommend to me, which is 27% protein (as stated on the packaging), 15kg package costs Rm168
then the shop got sell vege dog biscuits also, cost RM80 for 10kg package

initially i give them the 27% protein food, now i mixed that 27% protein and vege for my dogs...
i duno this info correct or not as i never focus on dog nutrition before...

so for cats, is there any nutrition rules need to follow like dogs?

i havent really go check out kibbie yet....but i dont want to get conned by the pet shop seller...
from my exposure to cat food so far, cat cannot keep eating canned food daily....

i manage to get cat canned food RM3.5 per can, sometimes 1 can last 2 day, sometimes last for 1.5 days...

i want to save cost, but i dont want to get cheapo brands that can caused health issues to them as well...

for example, dog food, pedigree is too salty will caused dogs to loose fur alot... (from what i heard)

the 27% protein dog biscuits in my previous post, i also see some shiny salt-like thing in it also, my dogs also loose some fur, but i duno how to compare with pedigree as i never buy it...
but their fur very cantik and shinny...

what i have in mind is, for my dogs, once they reached 1 year old, they will be fully vege (if not affect their health)
can i do the same to cats?

i just snap pic of these brands and will go check the pet shop for these brands on sunday...

simply because i'm vege...
as my understanding, dogs dont need that much protein once reached 1 yr old...
if have plant based dog food please share it to me...

oh really?
then i should check whatever is within my budget at the pet shop i normally go...

does cat has specific how many % of everything(protein, carb, fiber, etc) need to follow?

yes, i am aware....and i expect will have response like this...
i didnt force them to become vege like me...i treat them like treating my kid...

from my perspective, all are sentient beings, they maybe in other forms before this life.
from my religious view, they become animal due to their sins, and i will try to help them to not consume animal based food.

cats and dogs are omnivore like human.
i will do testing on them, who knows my cats and dogs can become vege? if they can become vege without affecting their health, why not?
if they cant, i just maintain whatever diet which is good for their health...

but i understand what u trying to tell me, dont worry.

my plan is, for my dogs, once they fully grown, i will switch to fully vege dog food, then maybe in 2-3 days interval, i get steamed chicken/eggs/pig organ/pig blood(in chinese) for them.
but now they not yet 1 year old, now i mixed normal dog food +vege dog food for them, so far they are healthy and run like mad dog when i walk them to nearest padang to run free...

on side note,
being a vegetarian doesnt mean will lose some nutrients, which is wrongly "advertised" by doctors or nutrionist or advertisement or anyone any party that we must consume animal based food or it affects health.

that would be quite a sight if a tiger is vege but remain strong and healthy...

i tried buy a testing package of kibbles from the pet store i normally went to, both my cats reluctant to eat at all, put overnight also dont want finished it...
end up i mixed those kibbles with canned food, then within 2 minutes, licin2....

the kibbles? dont remember...but its middle range price, RM168 for 10kg pack...

alright, well noted...
thanks for the info...

yeah, i dont remember, cause i only buy 1kg test pack which the pet shop staff pack with transparent plastic bag...

wow, such response...

Then why are you asking for plant-based diet recommendations?
cause i want to try?

What? Even if you were religious, animals were created animals, not because they did something wrong. If anything, I could argue that they have shorter lives than humans do because they are more pure than we are so they don't have to stay on earth as long to prove themselves.
...

Cats are not, even if you don't want to believe it.
not sure where is the subjectivity comes from...
anyway, ystdy night it pops into my mind that only plant based animal has side-ways chewing jaw and no sharp teeth.
while cats have four sharp teeth

Dogs are OMNIVORES, NOT herbivores.
at least not carnivore

No I don't think you do. I agree with you that being a vegetarian doesn't mean you go without nutrients but I would agree with this FOR HUMANS. Don't fuck around with your animals.
up to u then if u think i dont understand...everyone is entitled to their own opinion...

where did u get ur sense that i'm gonna stick to my way?
i dont remember i want to forcefully make my cats and dogs become vege...

well noted.

jess7

normally u feed cat, u finished the whole can or put back to fridge and continue next day?
and next day when u feed cat, u "warm up" the cat food then only give them or straight give them?
is it okay to feed them cold food?
