Hope he is fine. I also dunno how. Perhaps spend more time accompany him

lol yeah my two cats are never caged unless we're taking them to the vet. They aren't allowed outside either - average outside cat lifespan is 5 years, average inside cat lifespan is 15 years.

hope he is ok. pls update.

Yeah pls update us, I pray that he is ok but if he doesnt survive at least u hav found him and spent the last night with him, that will comfort and make him feel at ease

If outside cat lifespan 5 years i will be glad. From my experience it's 6months to 1 year.

Outside my house got alot of strays. I do put some buffet food for them at my porch. The rate is 9/12 cats are dead or missing within 1 year. Still got 3 cats roaming outside for 1 year+.

Dead reasons usually roll by car, bitten by stray dog. Some just goes missing. I assume they are dead too cause sometimes neighbour say they clean up corpse at garden few times d. Or kill by snake cause got snake incident in neighbourhood too.

It's an average number. That means that in a range of outside cats' lifespans added together and divided by number of cats, it's 5 years.
Compared to the average of 15 years for an indoor cat, which is three times an outdoor cat.

Sent him to veterinary for check up, they say nothing, just give me antibiotic and inflamation medicine.
Need to force feed last night. Today morning he's eating a little bit on its own. Can walk around slowly. No limping.
Hopefully he will recover in 2 - 3 days.

Most patient cat I have met.
My 4 year old son always carry it around like a teddy bear, but never before seen the cat clawed at my son.
The cat even become restless when it heard my son crying.

I'll be damn glad if it's nothing serious.
Thank you all for your concern.

it is 'expensive' to check properly, which includes xray, blood test etc.
visual check frm the outside = ok
where the blood comes frm = ???
what happened to the cat? = no one knows
got whack /kick/throw by ppl, hit by bicycle/vehicle/moving object, fell frm tree, bitten by snake / dog...

The fact that the cat is still alive after almost 48hours after the incident is a very good sign, if he had internal bleeding he would have been dead by now, I think he is recovering well after the trauma just keep giving him the meds n sufficient food/water, I’ll keep my prayers for him ☺️

Anyone around selayang wants 1.5 boxes of pottycats tofu aid litter? My cat completely reject so back to bentonite. Might as well give away for free than throw it away.

Can self pickup.

any tips to give milk for 2 days old newborn kitten?

this one smallest one among the others and he seems like dont know how to get milk from the mother, always sesat to other places even after i help to put it near to the mother nipple

tried to bottle feed also he dont know how to drink and mouth seems so small to try force the teats in 😓

If got mum. Lock them inside room. Mum should take care child naturally I guess. I raised 2 families before. Don't even need bother the child until month 3, cause mum is there.

got mom, but its first time mother cat,
see this 3 other bro/sis is thriving while 1 is very skinny and out of place, im worried about the skinny one 😓

they are all locked in a room and inside small cat house.

maybe need a little help by force feeding wit a 1 ml syringe every 2 hours? looks like too small n maybe no energy to compete with the others for mum's milk if dont force feed for all we know the little guy might be born premature therefore will need some help

will try to get a 1ml syringe, i bought milk bottle for kitten but seems too big for it, the smallest one was the last one to come out 😓

Just read your message. FYI, we use 1ml syringe and slowly 'shoot' in the mouth (careful not to choke the kitten or hurt the mouth). Kitten powder milk is only as supplement (preferably every 2 hours if it's not drinking mother cat's milk) because most important is the mother cat's own milk. We also help the kitten to find and latch on to the mother cat's nipple and take other kittens to put on another nipple if they try to 'fight' with the runt because the runt is too weak to fight on its own. It will drink milk a while then sleep so we have to wake it up gently and put it to the nipple again. Sometimes need to tell mother cat to stay still and pet/encourage her to take care of the runt.
You can observe if mother cat totally don't care about the kitten which means survival rate of the kitten is slim unless you help it. We noticed cos mother cat has other kittens fighting over her nipples and is too tired to really care about the runt who's not latching on so we keep bringing it to her to lick/clean. If mother cat did not clean the kitten, you need to take cloth (wet with warm water) to gently stimulate the kitten's bottom so that it will poop/pee. Try to google 'how to care for runt kitten' and read/watch videos.
We are so thankful ours survive and is now the 2nd biggest size out of its siblings.
Best of luck.

my one little runt has passed away this evening when i got back from work, i did give it milk every 2 hour with the 1ml syringe when im at home but no one to look after it when im at work, it really cant get any milk from the mommy.

now going to bury it, 😭

I know the feeling really sad 😥 I had the same prob once but not able to strictly follow the 2 hour feeding rule n the kitten ended up dying too, oh well at least u hav tried ur best.

oh shit. so sad. i saw that type of skinny kitten before too. but still can walk around after 1 month. he passed away due to car rollover

I'm so sorry for your loss. Its heartbreaking when you tried your best and still cannot save it. My runt was lucky cos it was during MCO/CMCO and I was in between working from home and my children study online. So all of us took turns to take care day and night for 1-2 weeks.
