Hi, does anyone has experience with Iams dry cat food?

Recently I tried this food, my cat seems to like it very much. But I kinda noticed she drinks more water and did not poop every day like before. Otherwise, she is still active and playful. I checked the percentage amount of fibre is somehow lesser than other brands, but ash is much higher (10-11% iinm).

I read around, Ash is a group of minerals that includes magnesium. It is something to note if the cat has a digestive or urinary tract problem. And usually, the amount is below 10%.

Right now I am not sure whether I should continue giving her Iams or not?

For me usually I would just put newborn kitttens and the mother in a good sized cage with a litter box n other basic necessities for the mother. This is to prevent the mother from transferring the kittens to other unkown places eg in a cupboard etc. its the mother's instinct to do this until the kittens can walk and fend on their own. I would let the mother go out of the cage every now n then tho a mother who just delivered do not walk around too much. The kittens will eventually learn to use the litter box in the cage on their own. Once they are used to doing their business in the litter box then only I would let them out the cage roaming around the house. U can also use a play pen or a small room if u dont have a cage.

Having said that maybe others have different and better ways of training their kittens

haha, lucky I saw, had to open her mouth and took the sand out

i put the mother and kitten in my room, don't let out.. only the mother just sometimes go out walk2 to living room.. i tried putting the kitten on the litter 2nd and 3rd time, she tried eating the sand again

guess have to find another way

Where do u put the litter box? where does the kitten do his business now? anywhere in ur room? thats y u need a confined space like a cage so that the kitten can find the litter box easily and get used to it, anyway I usually use tofu litter, no dust and bigger sized particles so its difficult to be consumed by small kittens but even if they swallow it its pretty harmless coz its made of natural products.

now the mother still lick2 the kitten pee

read this article again.

excerpt..

ash is no longer considered a factor in causing FLUTD. Further research has shown that the main problem was the formulation of commercial pet foods:

"A high protein diet is the best way to maintain a low urinary pH naturally.

Increased hydration also prevents crystal formation.

follow the instruction on the label and adjust accordingly.

y do u wana giv fish oil?

Protein at 29% is it good enough? Compare to other brands with at least 30% or higher.

Thanks

i bought this brit care salmon oil online,
when received only noticed its for dogs,
i guess no harm to give my cats since its just salmon oil,
but the instruction label only have for dogs.

i read salmon oil is good for the cat’s hair & immune system, thats why im trying it out if it can lessen their hair fall.

here the suggestion is 1-4drops / day.

for shiny coat dogs/cats

they usually feed Bayer's Velcote.

oh very small amount! i’ve been giving my cat 0.5-1ml 😅

thanks for the suggestion too, will try it out!

get the best that you can afford.
you can also add wet food with meat.

Hi guys, I'm new to this kitty thing, but I'm a bit worried about getting swindled when it comes to the price of a BSH kitten. Is RM3.2k considered standard pricing? Should it come with a cert as well?

please adopt. don't buy. you can go to https://www.petfinder.my/ to find a free bsh or other breed. many stray cats out there need your help.

stray cats can be beautiful too, if they are well taken care of. to give you encouragement, this is a stray cat. when I got him, he is hungry, dirty, and kutu infested kitten. 50% rescued by others, 50% chance die from hunger or car roller, if i don't rescue him. look how beautiful is he now.



once you got your cat, you eventually will be cat lover, and eventually you will know the harm of buying. not gonna elaborate how breeders work, but yeah, just like eating sharkfin. the killing stops when the buying stops.
