always check if the vaccine is killed or modified live virus.
adjuvant free purevax by merial (mod live) is preffered for cats, and inject at leg / tail.

Thanks Basilisk. My cat is 99% indoor cat and I only have 1 cat and not planning to get another. Do you think I should get her vaccinated against this as well? Basically am looking to cover her from all know diseases which can be prevented through vaccine now.

Thanks for highlighting the preference of Vaccine types.

if there is no risk, dont have to vaccinate for felv,
dont put the cat at risk getting cancer at injection site.

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!
*
2. I am using Orijen and it's been the only one I have been using since day one. Literally cannot smell any poop unless i go dig the sandbox. There was once my cat took a dump in the hall but I did not know about it until I saw it physically. So.....I think that helped alot but it's one of the most expensive one.

hello cat people.

how to prevent my cats from getting kidney disease?

i've lost a cat once, maine coon breed and i feed him royal canin the moment he can eat solid food.
*
Drank enough water?

Personally don't have experience with cat and kidney failures and don't want that but generally, I believe you gotta control their protein intake. They are okie taking high protein kibbles during the early stages but it should be less over time.

sell? i dont sell lol. but i do feed my cats freeze-dried food and also wet food.

no la, what i meant "human food" is those human-cooked food & snacks with seasonings, garlic, alcohol, dairy etc, cat cannot eat these so don't feed.
read this for the list.

ya, agreed with u there are many pet food from china, so need to do proper research before u buy as some of them are low-quality (i kena before) some are actually good quality, lesson: always buy from a reputable brand.
*
What's reputable brand of freezedried food?

So I watched a video on single kitten syndrome and realized this is what is happening to my cat who just turned 1 year old recently. He bites a lot and plays rough. (We found him when he was 1 month old only has some socialization with another kitten until 3 months or so only)

Is it still okay to adopt a kitten and can this lessen the single kitten syndrome in my 1 year old cat?
*
Have you try giving a chew toy for him to chew on when he is looking to bite on something? My kitten used to do that until I sumbat the plushy in her mouth and she chews the plushy instead of me now. lol. Am okie with them playing rough ...actually not that rough also as long as their nails are trimmed....no harm done.....

Do you guys get your cat vaccinated on yearly basis?

Especially when you travel and cat hostel needs to see yearly vaccine?

Yes, every year....35 bucks is cheap vs the amount of heartbreak you go through if nothing done.

I sent my new cat for her 3rd vaccination but didn't realize she doesn't need one until end of the year as she's an adult cat (adults need 2 times while kittens need 3). Vet noticed scabs on her ear which I mentioned some bleeding there.

Vet shined some blue light or something and showed worms/parasytes which is glowing under the light. I actually found out i got charged RM15 for this very simple procedure.

Vet got me anti fungal/baterial/antiseptic cream for her. Brand is Surolan. Cost me RM48

Vet noticed some fleas on the cat and asked me to get deflea medicine for her and my other male cat at home. Cost me RM40+34

Consultation cost RM35.

In total, vet bill was RM172 sad.gif

Also previously, when my older cat's paw got cut and slightly bleeding on his paw. Vet bill was like RM120+ for a very simple treatment like only trimming the fur around the area, cleaning the wound and applying cream. I was only given a small round tube of cream.

.......

With all these vet bills, think I want to get a pet insurance already sad.gif

Any thoughts on Oyen? Like how easy it is to claim etc and things to note about:
https://www.oyen.my/cat-insurance

Also looking at CG Cover Pet insurance
https://cgcover.com/pet-insurance/

Just to cover vet bills and possible surgeries in the future.

Looking at the cheapest RM299/year plan which should cost around RM50/month for both my cats.

Some info on my cats:
Both spayed/neutered and fully vaccinated. Strictly indoor cats. Wet food twice daily.
*
Am currently looking into Oyen as well. Would like to hear other people's feedback if anybody has enrolled in it. biggrin.gif

oyen pet insuran is kinda like human insuran, dun cover usual vaccination n periodic treatment cost punya la.
better u ask them directly or ask them to send u all the details.

anyway vac cost increase, the expensive clinic now charge rm50 for 4 in one liao.
cheaper clinic i dono.
so better call up n ask first.
*
Not looking for insurance to cover vax. More like to cover big ticket items if there's an accident or something.

Rm50 a year for vax still okie. lol. Small price to pay.

How are you guys dealing with worms in the tummy? Feeding Drontal to my cat is a chore and more often than not, it's a stressful experience on both sides and the cat will foam all over her mouth. :S

indoor cat nonid to deworm so often,
drontal is not cheap last time rm5/pil now almost rm7.

after observing many times at vet, better to have another person helping to hold the cat in sitting position and one person open the cat mouth, make sure nose is pointing up ceiling, drop the pill into the end of the tongue, close the mouth maintin the nose up position, until cat swallow naturally, only in the nose up head position the cat will swallow.

all those utube vids, those cats have ultra good behaviour, ask them to try on some kucing kampung / stray cat n see.. lol..

My indoor cat has been getting worms every 3 months now. lol. i think something to do with my in law's house having dogs as well and don't know what else she ingested at night.

Gotten Drontal at aroun4ish from Shopee from a legit seller. Am trying to see if there are alternative methods to prevent worms. I saw this and read it is pretty effective:

https://www.homeopet.com/product/feline-wrm-clear/

Yeah, I do agree that if we ask those youtube fellas to try to feed a kampung cat, there will be blood. lol

drontal is cheaper compare to spot on treatment like broadline. revolution cant kill tapeworm.

how do you know your cat got worm?

Yeah, understood it's homeopathy> just trying to see if anybody went down that path.

Saw one worm or two around the fur of her butt. lol.

Is Acana along the lines of Farmina? The price/kg seems to be almost similar and if Farmina has better quality of food, I might switch.

Farmina is 98% animal protein. Mean crude protein 44% x 98% will give you 43.12% of animal protein.

Acana is 75% animal protein. Mean 36% x 75% will give you only 27% of animal protein. The rest of it comes from vegetables.

That's why Farmina is expensive with that kind of booster protein. But feeding volume is less than Acana.

Apparently, Farmina now is now one of the highest range in the world.

If compare side by side
ND prime - Orijen
ND Ancestral Grain - Acana
*
Ah.....thanks for the detailed info. I specifically moved away from too high a protein for the cat cause I am worried about potential kidney problems in the future. I moved from Orijen to Acana for that purpose. I'll prolly stick with Acana for now. Been trying to get cat to be more than 4kg but apparently she's more vain that us humans. lol
