Hi elf, how are you?Hope you are doing well
It's me again. Recently my cat got flea around his head. (not much, manage catch & kill some flea at his head). The things is moving faster, quite hard to catch it. But i just wonder would this flea breed eggs at my cat's body? I have use cat's shampoo to bath my cat one week once. (forgot the name, anywhere previously get from vet, vet said this shampoo can act like normal shampoo and prevent flea,but hard to killing fleas).
Actually there have how many type of flea? I'm not sure my cat's flea is which type, so need you advise how to kill this flea?Anywhere my cat is indoor cat, he is the only one inside the house. Just curios how can he get this thing...
Are the house dusty or not clean can make the flea alive inside my house? coz my cat very lovely to go and search the dusty area.

el..when u said not to spend too much money on litters n all. remided me of myself

btw, Frissian Cat's Choice is d one with white cat in front of it rite? that smells nice..but a bit expensive..how much did u buy urs ubi keledek?

errkk you vet did not recommended FRONTLINE (spray/spot on)? weird, from what i know almost all vet will recon this product when it comes to fleas and other parasites.

fleas is like the movie by leonardo di caprio - catch me if you can. fleas are hard to catch, and even escape from the cat body your you and your house. but it the end, they will die too.

there is only 1 cat flea.

i think what you trying to ask is "how many type of parasites on cat?".

Fleas, mites, lice, ticks, ringworm, etc.

what if we found a kitten/cat. Without vaccined or dewormed, cam we neuter them as well??

basically it is better to vaccine first before doing anything. but if you have no choice like you need it a.s.a.p, you can do it immediately. but the risk is in your hand lah. don't blame the vet if anything happen. vaccine will protect the cat from infected by any bacteria or virus. since they are going to surgery (neuter/spay), so potential of getting infection is there.

so you need to be in CLEAN home handling cat after neuter and spay.

we actually do not need to bath out cat, unless if they are too dirty, parasites attack, or after medication (such as the frontline spray, skin cream medical, etc). bath is just a extra thing to do for house pet. since cats are clean animal, grooming them self everyday.

hi every cat lover
i'm new here and have a question?
i like to have mainecoon cat
can anyone suggest breeder around kl and selangor?
thanks in advance for any answers

adopt one lar.....there are too many stray cats need your love.

where where where

SPCA....PAWS.....those homeless kitties..........

thanks for your suggestion
i also have DSH and DLH now
but if you read my post before
i want to have mainecoon cat.
anyway, thanks for your suggestion

Pasar Keramat, Pasar Sg Besi, and i bet any other pasar or food court area, sure banyak kucing di buang dan terbiar.

so why not? they are not mat bangla, mat indon, and etc... they are kucing malaysia respect them, means you respect yourself. love them, means you love your family.

if you want pedigree maine coon with certificate, ask fancycoon cattery here = http://www.fancycoon.com/

he/she may have some kitten or maybe can intro you to other maine coon pedigree breeder. get ready your RM about RM1500-RM3000 per cat.

if you don't want pedigree then you find big size DLH.

thanks a lot for ur info elfreakz
yes i want the pedigree breeder
but the link you give, the location is JB
anyway thanks.

you ask the JB cattery for breed in KL. there are some in KL.. most of them without website. so you need to directly visit the cattery.

In that case, i'll send my cat to vaccine first. Then, how long shud i wait to neuter it? 1 week?

really
hehehe sory i dont know
in that case i contact she/he first
big thanks to you alfreakz, relly helpfull

the standard one is, age:

2 month old = 1st vaccine
3 month old = 2nd vaccine
4 month old = neuter

so basically 1 month after the 2nd vaccine.

ask your vet for advice, some will do it without waiting 1 month after the 2nd vaccine.

EL, i used to feed my cat with canned food everyday. and i found her fur dropped a lot. and guess what, i copied your recipe which boil the chicken meat for 30-60 seconds. she seems loving it.
any other recipe??? can share share?

i think i didnt mention before about this.. that, canned food like whiskas and friskies won't give much nutrition for your cats. both are made from fish, as what we know fish do not provide much protein and fat.

feeding canned food everyday, will build up tar tar and bad breath. tar tar can lead to gums and mouth disease. so be extra careful with this. scaling teeth for cats is expensive, my vet charge Rm120 per cat to clean teeth.

if you still want to feed canned food everyday, go for Science Plan brand, some of it are made from turkey, chicken, etc. it is good but the price is expensive than the cheap friskies RM1 - RM1.50.

if you do not like dry food, DIY your own cat food, just google home made cat food. use chicken or meat.

yet im not sure why you do not want to feed dry food like Science Plan, Iams, Royal Canin. is it because of money? or maybe you have too many cats?

you can balance dry food as daily food and add home made chicken or beef 3 times a week. should be good.

again, buy the dry food in big pack so you save more.

no no....i do feed dry food. canned food is normally for her dinner. hehe....i used to buy snappy tom ultimates but later change to burp from Pet Lovers Center.
but what i found is, she doesnt want to eat dry food if i feed her canned food. she knows that she will have something good at night, so she eat less during day time. so now, i dont feed her canned food everyday but changed to alternate days. but her fur still dropped a lot. so yesterday was the 1st time i cook for her
