Hi everyone! I'm planning to adopt a kitten soon, want to ask some advice:

1. I have a 4-year-old dog, he generally ignores other animals (timid, he prefers hooman). How do I introduce the new kitty to the household so they get along well?

2. Any kitten food brand to recommend (preferably kibbles)? The kitten will be 100% indoor so would like to choose brand that produce less smelly poop. Kitten is currently on wet food + kibbles.

Thank you in advance!

Thanks will check Royal Canin

My cat is still on RC Kitten, and planning to switch to RC Hair & Skin soon. Was thinking whether to switch to TOTW since there's so many good review.
Did you notice any difference on the fur between feeding RC Hair & Skin vs TOTW? Also which one which make their weight gain faster? p.s. My vet says my cat is getting fat lol.

Recently my cat (1 year+) refused to finish the food in her bowl, sometimes not eating at all in the evening. I'm feeding her RC Hair & Skin, followed the feeding amount for her weight.

She's game for (expensive) cat treats and rejects cheaper snacks though.

Should I be concerned that she's not getting enough nutrients, but she's still plump....

Cries in #bankruptcy

We use a weighing spoon to scoop her kibbles. My cat is also 4kg +-. Maybe need reduce meals, at least won't waste the kibbles to go soggy.

You all got feed supplement for your cats? Can recommend anything good? My cat generally have soft full fur, but her nose is always dirty that requires daily wipes.

Can try put pieces of soiled cardboard inside the litterbox?
Also, the kitten will poop soon after meal, maybe observe when he's sniffing around after meal and hurriedly put him to litterbox. When successful, give a treat.

Congrats! The best litter I used so far is Cindy & Friends Tofu Litter, almost no smell and clumps very well (better than those Rm27-28 a pack).

Cat will reach sexual maturity by 6 months, best to spay/neuter - also to avoid marking and straying outside issues. I believe Selangor gomen have subsidy for cat spaying that cost less than RM100. Remember to get your cat vaccinated ya.

Vaccine: 3 months (and min 3kg weight according to my vet)
Deflea: Can deflea immediately but mind the dosage according to kitty weight. My vet just advise me to spray Frontline on my kitty back when she was 3 months old and malnourished (just adopted her, her previous owner said she's 3 mth but vet said she looks like 2 mths so....)

Last week brought my cat to the vet for annual vaccine and she's 4.2kg. Concerned that she's overweight, my vet said nope she's ideal, all you saw was just fluff. So now we cannot call her fatty girl anymore.

p.s My cat was picky with her food and sometimes skipped dinner, guess she was dieting on her own lol.

Using Cindy & Friends Tofu Cat Litter - good odour cover, no dusts.

Recently my cat has been picky with her meals, taking sweet time to finish or even not touching them. She will eat if I add wet food/gravy to them.

So I'm thinking of mixing her kibbles with wet food. Any brand recommendation?

Currently she's on RC Hair & Skin, thinking of switching to Taste of the Wild if I'm mixing with wet food to be kinder to my pocket.

p.s. Anyone feeding their kitties raw egg? What's a safe frequency to feed?

Ok maybe I'll try giving her an egg a week.

Yes, cat become sexually matured at 6 months. If you don't have plans nor the budget to breed, please spay all your cats, starting with the female first.
It also resolve marking and roaming outside issues.

Never worked for me.
Use Advocate spot on, immediately all fleas died within 48 hours.

Decided to get another kitten to be my cat's friend. Hopefully they will get along well.
Any tips how to introduce new kitten to other household furkids?

So... last Saturday I brought my new kitten home. Sweet fella, a total lapcat & sleeping buddy.
Now the thing is, my older cat hate him, not just hissing but growling and wanting to swipe & bite him. 2nd night she sprayed at my bedroom door as warning.
Kitten also hissed at my old cat and dog coz he's scared.
So he's been staying in my room for the past few days, occasionally making supervised visit to the living room in the evening.
Last night he wouldn't hiss at my dog, but still enemies with my cat.
I was thinking should I let them fight for once? But my older cat is like 4 times heavier than him...

My cats 100% indoor, so I deworm them once a year when they make annual vaccine visit.

But if your cat goes outdoor, or you are feeding them raws, should deworm them at least once every 6 months.

Eh your vet doesn't give deworm med during annual vaccine?

Been using Cindy & Friends Tofu Litter for more than a year, easy clump, less dust and odour control. Tried other more expensive brands like Real Labs, Cator, Petshy but Cindy & Friends the best so far.
