First of all, just to let you know, a female cat can go ON HEAT and Pregnant 24hours after labor. Amazing and weird right eheheh, they sure do have a faster hormone to mate again.

Secondly, if a mother knew she have unhealthy kitten, she will reject them. this is normal. a mother know who is healthy, who is gonna die. So she will love the healthy one only and reject the unhealthy one. it happens all the time. so nothing to worry. and she loves all her kittens, but then, she lost hopes to the unhealthy one, so she leave them die by them self.

hi, i have a question, where can i find catnip plant? as in, to plant....in Malaysia
perhaps in the form of seedlings, or spore, whatever....im no botanist
please reply tq

syeksyen 15 is somewhere around WARTA if im not mistaken..
last time im study in ukm n i noticed there was pet shop@vet around there..

Yes. I think that should be the proper way to let the owner know their cat's problem. But this vet doesn't do that, plus i forgot to ask...
Now my cat eat the the medicine 1 week already, just check the skin and found still same as previous. Means no getting better and worst. Just remain. I just take the bath for him. The fleas was gone. Just left skin problem now... Hopefully he can recover soon...

it took times to grow back the fur and recover the skin.

and you need to make sure your cat has ringworm only, or parasites allergy. some cats has this thing call parasites allergy, which means they are allergy to this small creatures like mites, fleas, lice, etc. some allergy to food type. both of this, need to check via blood samples if your cat has any.

i'm pretty sure your cat will recover soon... bath frequently with the determines shampoo vet provided. if head cone is needed, put it all time. this is to prevent the cat from licking the fur. the more it lick, the longest period the fur to recover.

Wuohoh, el sudah elite!

aiseyy.. don't be like that lah.. malu ooww

p/s where have you been? long time no see? kucing apa macam?

Thanks elf.. will update my cat status again..

hello~

is back to basics and blackwoods cat food any good?

Hi Annetize,

Hi, I am currently a user for Blackwood as well as a distributor. I help friends to buy blackwood at a cheaper price.

Before this, I have been using RC and Iams. However because of price increase I was recommended to use Blackwood by a friend. Blackwood is a premium cat food from US. Since using Blackwood for almost a year now, my cats have put on weight, shed less fur and their poo poo is very well formed and has less odour.

For your information, a breeder pack of 24kg cost RM220.00 however if you pool with a group of friends and share it you can buy 1 kg for as low as RM9.20! That's really cheap compared to the market. Blackwood has also packaging in 7.5kg that will cost you RM90.00.

If you are interested, do PM me and I will give you a few packets of samples to try.

wow so cheap...wanna try ler..

Go to a good pet store. There should be selling catnip. It's kind of leaves cats love to smell, a kind of happy drug for them. I bought a lot of them from Ikano Pet Safari.

Be warned though. Not all cats are influenced by catnip. My Kiki simply ignores it (a great waste of money I think).

Hi elf, is me again.. yesterday just saw my cat's tail got skin problem... previous don't have..
but his body and chin recover already. no more red color. just the normal skin color.. but the fur haven come out yet... just wondering how come his tail still got infection infact i already gave him eat the medicine almost 11days ago... now left 3 more tablet... have to go back visit the vet this coming saturday...

tail, private part, and back of the 2 legs is the most favorite part for ringworm or any fungal...

you better bring to vet, for check up again.

if you have other cats, bring them too... because some cat will not show any fur drops although they bring the same symptom. if you only bring 1 cat, but not the other cat, the infection will never stop. it will keep continue.

how many times you clean your house, vacuum and mop the floor? you need to do this all the time.

btw, last time, my vet always have next appointment. didn't your vet tell you about the next visit for further check up?

i only have 1 cat (indoor).
Normally i clean my house at 1 week once to 2 week once ..(i know not enough, but too busy on my work...)
Yes. My next appointment is on this coming saturday. (After 2 weeks from my 1st visit)
One thing curious me is how come i already fully follow the instruction (like eat 1 tablet a day, take bath a week once with anti-fungal shampoo), the problem still there? is something wrong at my side to take care of my cat?

it takes time my friend. especially to grow back the fur. i cannot expect, by eatingthe pills and anti fungal shampoo will grow back the fur within 2 weeks. fur grow back can take up to 3-4 months.

the more they lick it, the slow fur will grow. if your cat still licking and biting his body because of itchy (cause from the fungal), then the slower fur grow.

shampoo, my vet told me last time, AT LEAST minimum 2 times a week bath.

and the tablet, 1 morning, 1 night, after food. since she is underweight, so she took only 1/8 part of the table every 12 hours (thats mean 24 hours 2 times morning and night).

so later, when you go to the vet, the vet will check again, to see if the fungal GONE or still there. if it is gone, then you just need to wait for the fur to grow.

again, no magical moment will happen, like fur grow within 2 weeks

it takes time.. like you shave your head to botak, it takes time to grow, it won't grow that fast.

i suggested you.

i've become malas to lepak2 around lowyat. = =
kucing minta cubit.

Wah thank you thank you...

kucing minta cubit aaahh... so sombong ah kucing from kuching eheheh...

we know lah you from Cat City eheheh

Yo El, how we can recognize female cat has been spayed or not?

2nd is, how old (max) female cat can get pregnant? i mean is without harm the mother.. My friend told me that if female cat above 3years old get pregnant, .... senang cerita both of them(kitten & mother) can die. chance of survival only 50%.. it make me scared lah...

How to recognize female cat has been spayed or not?

1) Ask the previous owner, the owner should know about it. If the cat is feral cat who involve with TNR program (Trap n Release), the ears will be clip - so you will see one short ear.

2) Check her belly if there it is recently shaved. you can see this clearly. It will visibly shorter than other part of the body furs.

3) Try look for scar on the belly. Unfortunately, this scar becomes very difficult to detect if the cat has had time to heal or if her fur is long and dark. Sometimes it disappears entirely.

4) Keep her atleast 1 month, and see if she go ON HEAT. Spayed female won't be on heat.

5) Take her to a vet. If worst comes to worst, you can always take your cat to the vet or pet shelter to determine if she is spayed. They see cats every day and have a better chance of seeing the scar.

----

Basically its very hard to determine what is the maximum age for a female cat can get pregnant.

Harm or without harm can happened anytime at any age. even 1 year old female cat can go to failure to delivery the kittens. so its unpredictable. different cat, different strength.

You will only scared if you have the intention to mate your female cat. that is the RISK all owner should face.

Conclusion, failure to delivery kitten and death can happen at any age. (Same like human).

So don't get the female cat pregnant if you love them. For the sake of LOVE and your $$. You end up paying up to RM1000+ to safe the mother lives if anything go wrong. Else just let them died in peace - Owner will be 100% blame for this.
