maybe....

so this wild big cat is not in a group?

so then, she is stress.. stress can come from many things, scare, angry, not feeling comfortable, not happy, sick, change on environment, culture shock.

if you think because she stay outside the house, put her in then. she is long hair u know, she can turn to be short hair one day if you didn't keep her well. not to down grade short hair cat, but remember having long hair cat, you need more RM and time. short hair is much more independent, they can adapt with everything very easy.

all cat will hiss for a start or many longer. yes its true even during mate female will hiss and slap the male although they want to sex. thats normal for bigger cat. it will stop if they know the male is ready to give sex. they freak out when the male bite them. if the sex is successful, you see the female become more protective.

maybe all of the above, she is not staying outside the house, in the house still but maybe hotter than what she is used to.

female cat really do slap the male cat hoh? coz when my fren told me RAtu slapped her cat, i cant imagine. haha pow pow girl power 

eerrkk sorry you mention basement right, so i assume your house got basement like shopping malls. no wonder lah no air ehehehe.. boleh semput tau 

ya lah, female cat very garang. no matter how protective a male cat can be towards their territory, when it come to xxx, they freak out with female. like "takut bini" or "queen control" ehehehehe 

hmm..because we sent ratu to a friend's house to mate, .....

female cat really do slap the male cat hoh? coz when my fren told me RAtu slapped her cat, i cant imagine. haha pow pow girl power 

jadi, TAKUT BINI is a basic instict aaa     

El, with 2 cats, I think crystal litter doesn't work very well cuz I end up getting the "banjir" every 2-3 days... Unless I put a LOT of the crystal, but if put a lot, die lor, have to buy 1 pack every week...

I told my husband, last resort, we haven't tried Okoplus yet... So we got Okoplus last night... I terus clean up the tray and replace with Okoplus...

This morning found the poo and also pee all clumped up nicely! I was amazed! It clumps up the pee which is very-very good lor...

My husband also happy...

But still have to see if too much pee what happen... Cuz last night changed the whole litter kan, so everything baru...

Anyway, nanti I summarize balik all the litter that I've used for everyones reference

How many cats do you have already?

Still want more kittens?

-----

Stray cats around my apartment is increasing. Everyday got fights and can see them mating Soon there will be plenty of kittens pulak!

I have a feeling few of the new comers are thrown out by their owner or left behind when they moved cuz they wear collars, but are darn dirty!!!

I'm gonna call up SPCA and see if they can come and pick up the cats or I go send to them.

Cannot tahan lah the fights, very noisy and irritating!

cool OKO! OKO! OKO!

my sister in sarawak, still can use crystal for 4 cats with 2 litter box. she do not use much though. i think about 4 packs for 2 litter box.

i was wondering, how much is too much pee mia produce? banyak sangat ke? if let say you put 1 ice cream container with water, yang large size tu, can finish haaa?

actually, myself only haf 1 cat, abg bro got 5 cats, so this is my first time and first experience with mommy to be cat, after this terus spay/neuter the kittens and the mother..

nanti my mother also klua "kame kame ha" coz rumah sudah jadi zoo

 

actually i pity those stray cats kan, if only i haf a lot of money, then can neuter/spay each n everyone of them (in the end jadi endangered species pulak  )

I see... But you guys stay together right?

You don't share-share ah?


KP

Yeah, if Okoplus works like this always, then it's cool lah If not...

Before this, with both of them, the crystal I use about 2 packs a month, then lately jadi 2 packs ++ plak cuz of the "banjir" and I kerap replace all of it sebab tak tahan bau dia...

The ice cream container tu, you refer to air yang dia minum or banyak mana dia pee?

Why Does My Cat Drink Lots of Water?
Find out what a vet recommends for a cat who drinks excessive amounts of water.
Elaine Wexler-Mitchell, D.V.M.

Q. What does it mean if my cat drinks excessive amounts of water?

Elaine Wexler-Mitchell, D.V.M., says: Drinking excessively (more than about a cup of water a day) is called polydipsia. It can be a sign of disease or a response to environmental conditions and diet. For example, the latter can mean cats who eat exclusively dry food drink more than those who eat canned because canned food contains mostly water. Some cats drink an excessive amount of water for attention or because they like the taste of fresh water flowing out of a spigot. Generally, though, cats are not big water drinkers.

If your cat increases her water consumption, she should be examined and undergo a urinalysis. A urinalysis will reveal if the cats kidneys are properly functioning, if infection of the urinary tract is present, or whether or not the cat has diabetes mellitus. A blood test gives additional information on these conditions.

Increased water consumption, increased urination, and weight loss are all signs typically found in cats with kidney disease or diabetes mellitus. Cats who drink a lot and are dehydrated should have concentrated urine with a low water content because the animals body naturally tries to conserve water and balance hydration. Dehydrated cats with dilute urine are in trouble. Kidney disease and diabetes are both manageable but not curable conditions, depending upon the stages they are diagnosed.

share, but 1 cat sleeps with me, the other 5 sleeps with abg bro, so hak mutlak tertakluk to siapa tidur with which cats. haha

-annetize here-

eerrkk i meant, kalau you letak air dalam container ice cream yang besar tu, how much she will drink? agak2, half habis? or lesap 1 container?

water is good, because our cat eat dry food, so water is a must. ramai yang risau bila kucing kurang minum air. ada juga yang risau too much drinking. because too much drinking means ada masalah. i takut dia dehydrated jer, which is not so serious. the serious one i dont want to mention lah. phobia i...

but if you already bring to the vet, and the vet said, no problem, then no need to worry. some people say, when the weather is too hot, we drink alot of water kan. same goes to cat.

wah boleh pula begitu  how bout food and litter?

food evryone bagi, but if litter.. i clean my own, he cleans his own! hahaha but abg bro's cat doesnt use litter indoor outdoor cat, mine indoor cat, that's y pagi pagi buang tahi, ptg ptg buang tahi, sebelum tidur buang tahi. aahaha

Pagi²,ptg² n sebelum tidur u clean the litter box?Everyday?Wah so much feces....u're not boring doing that?

Er, ice cream container ada besar, ada kecik... Which one ah? Hehe...

Tapi kalau according to the article you quoted, it says a cup... Well, I do give them appx. a 3/4 cup of water before leaving for work, then another 3/4 after work or at night... Before I brought her to the vet, everytime balik keje, habis licin, kering the bowl... But after see the vet and manage to give her some antibiotics, ada reduce sikit lah... The water tak de lah sampai kering like last time...

The dr. said mebbe all the possibilities mentioned in the quote too. Could be UTI, could be the kidney not functioning well, could be diabetes... She gave the antibiotics first, see if okay, then it's just a minor UTI... If no change, have to go for blood test.

Her vet bills is now more compared to the whole year I kept Oren...

Btw, I've spoken to the prev foster owner about Mia and she said I can return Mia to her...

Kesian pulak... Tapi I cannot tahan having to clean her poop trace everyday and finding my stuff hancur kena scratch...


KP

Pagi²,ptg² n sebelum tidur u clean the litter box?Everyday?Wah so much feces....u're not boring doing that?

yup, sebab geli.. lagipun only one cat, jadi if see tahi, cepat cepat clean it up 

setiap kejadian ada hikmah dari-Nya.

apa apa pun KP, do the right decision. the one yang menyenangkan you, yang you mampu ok.

im cleaning and looking at all this 4 times a day, from 5 litter box 

i have been smelling this thing for a long time. sampai kan, the smell immune with my nose ahahahah.

if outside or some one else house, i can easily detect if they have cats or not 

and looking at cats doing their poo and pee job looks cool ahahahaha... pperrrgghhh the first smell is fresh, the texture is soft and shiny LOL

Lol izwan, ok le your cat berak in litter. Imagine ler throwing shit on top of a bed..

this happens to me occasionally... especially if i accidentally closed my toilet door at night while sleeping and my cat got nowhere to berak.

imagine having to carry a king sized mattress down the stairs alone just to wash it at 5am in the morning

and after that...tidur atas lantai la for 2-3 nights
