yeap i perasan. u want to know why? because cat don't scratch/cakar using kaki belakang they only cakar using the front legs. eheheh sebab tu kuku belakang dia mudah tumpul dan mati.

u need to know that, cat scratch to make their nails sharp, easier for them to climb the trees and hunt for predator.

cut the infront nails, memang cepat tumbuh balik. obvious dorang akan cakar guna kaki depan.

yang belakang tu just for running, and garu leher/kepala.

O I C everyday is a learning experience

Also 2 malam ago I put Spot On kat dia. Normal ke dia sikit groggy?

Sebab bisa nya malam2 rampage dia, active sangat tapi after put obat terus
macam tak ada mood nak main, tak lart dia nak bernakal asyik nak tidur aje.

Must be the obat punya reaction agak nya

yeap spot on reaction. ye lah racun pembunuh kutu kan.. akan buat body lemah sikit. but its alright

Hey all the songkoks an the smilies are all gone

Added on September 6, 2008, 1:00 amPetang tadi baru bawa Happy vaccinate 4 in 1, health checkup buat deworm, ear mites extermination.

Wanted to take blood untuk FIV/FLV testing...but tak jadi coz dia betul betul mengamuk
sampai macam harimau liar when the the jarum kena dia punya leher, sudah menjadi liar.
tak pernah I nampak dia begitu ganas. bagai nak gigit vet perempuan itu.
I am really so scared for her and her assistant

Because he is so distress by the sharp pain in the neck area blood extraction was not successful
as the vet is worried the needle will poke lain tempat sebab struggle terlalu agresif. I pun dekat
nak pengsan with the commotion in the vet

But, cucuk the 4 in 1 ok sebab kat tempat less sensitive agaknya.

I doubt he will allow to poke the neck area whether now or future. so how?

I thought when I neuter him next month maybe when he is under general anasthethic
boleh lah ambil darah dia. I wonder if this could be done. I sakit hati tengok my kucing suffer di cucuk kat leher tu

Anyway, vet has given him a clear bill of health... and Happy weighs a healthy 2.5kg at 4mths old

Gemuk tak dia

Just for the benefit of others who may want to board their cats during their Raya holidays...the vet that
I will be boarding my cat is charging RM25 per night ( at Sri Hartamas ) and another one at Damansara Heights
RM15 per night but, I don't quite like this place sebab their cage kecik betul and the dog kennel are just next
to it. Kat Hartamas they separate cats & dogs.

At Sri Hartamas bersih, terang and have much larger cage. tak pe lah...pay a bit more so my Happy selesa dan happy

congrats on your kitten first medical check up

i strongly advice you to do it one after another. i mean, do the vaccine first, and after that (maybe the following month or two) the FIV blood test. I'm pretty sure next month you have to bring for second vaccine jab right.

unpredictable behavior is normal for cat. your kitten might feel something going through his/her skin after vaccine. and suddenly another one going through, for sure he/she freak out.

i may not want to continue this. because, like i always say, cat is very emotional, once he/she hates it, he/she will hates it forever. you might not want to stress the kitten at early age. at this small age, one simple things that make he/she do not like - will make them "do not like" it forever.

since the age is 4 months old, and i think you just got that kitten right? it is important to build the trust between you and the kitten. to see this trusting behavior, you will see your kitten/cat will look for you if there's something wrong. if you cat run away without letting you know, then thats mean they do not trust you yet.

like in the vet, my cats will jump on me (carry like a baby), because they scare with the environment. i will have to hold them by myself, if the vet hold them - sure mengganas

anyway my cats are all spoil brads i treated them too much like a human, spend too much on them, paying too much attention, etc... until benda sikit pun kucing jadi kecoh mencari tuan dan terlalu manja.

only 2 of them manage to be independent, the others, kalau duduk - mesti penuh kaki, mesti menyibuk duduk depan kita nak dekat dekat, mengalah kan orang bercinta.

that's some points on how to spoil your cat

p/s average weight for female kitten age 4 months old is between 1.3kg - 1.8kg. while male kitten age 4 months old is between 1.6kg - 2.5kg. So your boy is in good weight

p/s about the ambil darah waktu neuter, i'm not so sure. tak pernah buat, maybe you can ask advice from your friendly vet

LoL..The stray cat alr born her 1st baby last night when I reach home. Now she stay under the stair corner. Keep Miao..Miao..Miao...when we walk by. What she want?

are u sure thats the only kitten born? did u check the kitten? did u check other place?

u might want to have a look why she meow meow, there's maybe something bugging her.

You are right El One thng at a time kesian ku punya Happy....anyway sjak semalam sampai pagi ini asyik tidur aje dia.
Morning also did not come up & wish me good morning....first time tak buat gitu...rupa nya ada fever sikit...tidur tidur whole day
tak nak makan atau minum..

But now, he's okay no more fever and is eating again... tapi still not active yet. I think he's still lethargic. But better than
this morning when I look at him macam he's a different sebab tak bisa dia diam2 je...looking blankly at you not knowing why he's feeling like that he has been sleeping all night & all day....only now he's look a little like himself..thank goodness

Added on September 6, 2008, 5:38 pmTry cutting when they are asleep with less resistance. I did that to Happy 3 days ago
and was quite easy actually, but mesti buat cepat sikit before there wake up
and start to play and cakar u Memang he know what you were doing but coz
he is still sleepy he don't bother

yea vaccine will make the kitten week for awhile. im pretty sure your vet did mention, if the kitten is getting bad and sick for 2-3 days bring back to the vet? a kitten who has bad body immune will normally collapse and died when vaccine hit them. they normally will get tired, sick, no appetite for 24 hours after the jab. then sure ok already.

Alamak! Habis macam mana lepas dah gugur ni? then prevention is better than cure ke. Gugur tu sbb gigi tak di jaga betul ke?
If that case, how often we need to check thier teeth so this problem won't happen.

Adult can do implant, denture, crowning....kucing aiyo. so better jaga their teeth properly la

Added on September 6, 2008, 6:05 pmEh...memang sedap masa kita manja manja kat kucing...they feel good we also feel good.
come to think of it,,,when my son was little I also didn't manja him like that. Tapi, sebab
kucing kecik syoik je kita pamper dia

I told my son, its so nice to sayang kat kucing sebab they never answer you back
They are so appreciative of your love make you wanna to sayang more

Most adult senior cat will face this problem. there's not much can be done. just like human, kita gosok gigi hari hari, bila tua pun tetap akan longgar dan jatuh.

the only problem you want to make sure is the gum problem (gusi). Gum will always make the problem, its very easy to get diseases. You have to check the gum make sure it look fresh+pink. if u found blood, or darah beku around it, you must bring to vet.

even if you found extra teeth growing, u must cabut it. extra teeth will make the gum tissue feel uncomfortable. like human, extra teeth ni selalu tumbut kat lelangit, dan di luar gusi.

back to the "ketahanan gigi", that is the reason why you found cat food for senior cat. this biscuit/kibble is alil bit softer than adult cat food. senang untuk di kunyah. i think iams and science plan ada jual senior cat pun kibbles. not sure about royal canin.

----------

cat age 4 biasa nya tak ada problem gigi. like my case, my 4 years old, bang the floor and terkena gusi, and gigi tu abit patah and longgar. sebab tu doktor cabut terus, because kalau tak di cabut, ia akan jadi sakit dan gusi mudah kena infection. bila dah cabut it never grow back, because it is not a baby teeth. they still can eat though, they have like 29 other teeth. and trust me, cat teeth is very good to tear up anything

unless.. again, if u have the gum problem, then they won't have stronger teeth. nak gigi pun susah, sbb gusi sakit.

cheers

hi everyone,

my baby kitten super active balik after baik dari demam. nakal sangat kuat mencakar sampai berdarah lak tu. 2 hari lepas i potong kuku dia tapi kesian lak dah tak bole memanjat. sekarang nie dia tukar strategi lak suka mengigit.

he never want to duduk diam2.

what to do eheheh thats why people always miss the kitten when theirs grow become cat.

they will become super active in kitten stage only. after 8 months above, they start to slow down, and become more slower. see how short that is? sure u going to miss that scene of biting, jumping, scratching, breaking eheheheh...

unless u have hyper active cat genetic lah, that will last forever eheheh

yes its really good when go home i can play with my super hero cat.watch him play can make me smile and laugh.
make me forget all the problem a while. but have to give bite my finger hehe

Hi all,

I'm a newbie here....last 3 days, I took my cat to vet...my cat got diarrhea...after took a medicine, the vet said, my cat must fasting for 1 day...so I tahan la dia makan...kesian..dia asyik tido n bila bangun, just minum air saja...

The next day, I give him a food...he looks ok..but after a few hours..he got diarrhea again..

omg...I kasi dia puasa lagi beberapa jam...malam baru kasi makan...and dia ok..until the next saturday morning still ok...I balik keje malam tu pun ok...

but today...dia kene lagi...what should I do...I takde kat rumah...tak tau ape org kat rumah bagi dia makan...

I penatla tengok dia macam tu...kesian...

You bagi makanan apa?

Is it the same food before visit vet, and after visit vet?

something going wrong with that food, i wonder what food that is?

dulu bagi friskies (kitten)...but after pegi jumpe vet...dia suggest royal canin...

---

Added on September 7, 2008, 2:01 pmso i dah bagi dia royal canin...dia makan ok...takde diarrhea lagi...tapi I tak tau org kat rumah bagi dia ape bila i takde..sebab masa balik keje semalam...I tengok dia makan nasi campur ikan..

geesshhh u better pay more attention to the kitten diet...

first jangan kasi makanan lain selain royal canin... bila campur2 makanan, sebab tu perut dia tak tahan. since dia memang dah ada tanda2 diarrhea, and now u didnt jaga his/her diet, sbb tu jadi semakin terus.

second, dulu you bagi friskies, now RC.. sbb tu masih continue diarrhea. because u tukar makanan secara mengejut. you should have mix both friskies and RC, lepas tu slowly decrease the friskies. sampai lah 100% rc.

third, ada kucing memang akan tercirit berit bila makan RC kitten for the first time.

so what to do... avoid the rice+ikan, you can use boil chicken for this... ambik isi daging ayam, rebur separuh masak.. jangan masak sangat. lepas tu bagi kitten u makan, and sup ayam tadi bagi sebagai air minum dia. remember jangan letak apa apa perisa... buat ayam rebus kosong sahaja.

at the same time, keep continue bagi RC kitten food tu.

insyallah sup ayam + ayam rebus kosong tadi boleh bantu dia.

ok...I try it first...

tapi...yang i risau sangat bila i takde...diorang bagi makan benda lain..

sebab i keje 10 pg - 10 mlm...

kat ofis pun hati tak senang ingat dia kat rumah..

semenjak kena diarrhea ni...badan dia susut..

sedihla tengok dia..

Added on September 7, 2008, 2:26 pmby the way....mane u dapat petua ni?


This post has been edited by ezaleina: Sep 7 2008, 02:26 PM

errkk advice people in your house not to feed anything else beside Royal Canin then..

petua from my vets and pure breed cattery friends. its work well with my kitten last time. dulu kitten i pun macam you. mula2 bagi proformance kitten dia ok. bila i change to Royal canin, tiba-tiba diarrhea tercirit. some more dia bulu panjang, habis bulu belakang dia hampir hari hari kena cuci area tu. penat juga. so then vet advice me to give ayam rebus 50%, then RC 50%... the next day terus ok.. and till now dia tak de problem makan RC lagi dah. kira nya RC dah sebati dengan perut dia.
