almost all vet in KL offer spay & neuter service.

yea sure its alright to let them play at the garden. as long as tak lari lah eheheh....

and some one must monitor your kitten, takut dia makan dan minum benda2 kotor kat garden tu.

another thing, if possible beli FRONTLINE SPOT ON and put at your kitten for protection against Fleas, ticks, and lice

When your friend said your cat want to go out to find girl friend, that sound like your cat is not neuter yet.

a horny male who is on HEAT will always have behavior and mood problem. they are stress. when this happened, the first sign you will hear is making loud noise calling for the ladies.
second, no mood on eating.
third, no mood grooming itself.
fourth, fur falling because of stress and hormone changes.
fifth, on the base of the tail, u will see something like a wet stop.. like oily.. that is the hormone place. you can see it obviously if you have long hair cat.

how long have u been feeding blackwood? i tried blackwood before, for 1 1/2 months, most of my cats don't really fancy it.

this month up to 2009, im feeding Science Plan. No longer feeding them proformance because the shop that i used to get my supply has stop selling it.

yes i agree..

actually, at this kitten age is the best way to teach your kitten what to do, and what not to do...

recently i rescue the kitten name "bunga", i manage to teach her to seat when i point down my hand to the floor and say SEAT! = http://el.freakzter.com/2008/11/rescue-hom...s-kitten-bunga/

She is into biting too, but i don't mind biting games ehehehe because that is their nature of hunting. just make sure they don't become human eater la, bite till u bleeding then u need to teach something

if she is pure breed, she need extra diet. prefer fresh raw meat. or you can try Orijen / Innova Evo (product that is super premium 100% meat).

this kind of food will also help to gain weight.

as for the soft poop, have u ever deworm? did u bring her to the vet? she might be sick, and you need to give antibiotic.

all the supplement you feeding her (vit c, multi vit, hair ball control, etc), are not supplement to boost her appetite.

you can try "Hi-Vite Drops" - vitamin supplement with liver and iron. (orange box).

anyway, if u do not have nothing to do with her, the best choise to spay - for a better life.

p/s aren't i saw this cat is for sale somewhere?

i tried blackwood last time. yes i agree the poop is less smell.. but my cats don't fancy blackwood that much.

blackwood percentage of protein and fat is lower than the other food, i bet this is the reason why it produce such less smell.

the higher the fat and protein the more smelly it gets. u must try orijen then u know how strong the poop is but u will get better outcome when your cats eating super premium food.

royal canin i agree the poop smelly more than blackwood because, again, the different amount of protein and fat. RC has higher % than blackwood.

anyway, i think, u better switch back to RC to make you happy. now you are actually making yourself happy but leaving behind sad cat that do not want to eat or have to force himself eating something he dont like. the point here is to make your cats happy first

Yeap my kitty cats are now eating Science Plan (Chicken)... 10kg RM138 (member get 7% discount). i bough it on 22nd december. don't know if they have change it yet or not.

p/s who is that fleas?

errkk i thought i saw Fish flavor that day?

what i know segar vet selling 10kg = RM134 (not yet discount)... and 15kg around rm180+...

I plan to get 15kg for the next purchase.

ahahah i wonder who is that 2 lousy fleas they must be in FLEAS LOVER THREAD then

depends where u go lah, if u r in kl already, better go to petsmore... but if u r heading to cheras area, then stop by at segar vet.

i bought my first SP because i was in kl that time, so i don't bother to drive to cheras. it will end up cost more fuel+cat food

are you buying kitten or adult? im talking about adult not kitten eh...

yeah Bunga is still here. She is spoil now... she conquer my queen size bed all the time.

im telling you, the bobtail kitten is surely spoil by me LOL... im so good in spoiling cats eheheh

duh! almost all my cats are adult lah

only bunga is kitten, she is on iams kitten. i cannot buy her RC or Orijen, else the others will get jealous easily. but next purchase, bunga will be on SP kitten. since the iams kitten 3kg is not finish yet.

the other cats will come out and play at the living room during day time. and will sleep in the room. why? dude i need to keep my house clean too, else my mom will come and shout i have FURRY SOFA AND BED

and my sister will be asking "you bed is made from animal fur is it?"

but then, vacuum cleaner will be turn on EVERYDAY! its like a routine, automatically my hand will hold the vacuum cleaner now i feel like office cleaner

bunga is short hair, since she is still kitty, she has no problem with furs... but beware, she will lick your face when u r sleeping. s-h-e-m-l-l-y! puurrr!

3.63kg = 1 1/2 months gitu.

you are talking about stray kitten right... i don't think petshop want it anyway oh well its a shop who is into making money. they don't bother keeping something that need money.

that kitten maybe hungry and thirsty, offer some food and drink.

then u go open one post at adoption thread, and post the kitten pic lah.. easier... or else try petfinder.

if your vet saying that, follow what they recommend dude... afterall they are the VET

yes kitten can start neuter/spay after 4 months and at certain weight too.

why they want your kitten to be vaccine 2 twice for the first year is because to make sure your kitten is healthy. of course, a kitten who is not vaccine will be not as healthy as the vaccine one. it is best to vaccine your kitten before going into neuter/spay to avoid bad things happened. remember, we are dealing with blood during surgery.

since your kitten is not 4 months and above, why not you complete the 2 times vaccine first.

thats normally what happened if your cat is not neuter. not territory, but they are spraying their male smell everywhere. a horny male or on heat male will always do this.

u need to neuter them, so they won't turn on with sex no sex means no spraying.

it is not too late to neuter your cat... my oldest male cat going for neuter at his age of 4 years old.

Read this = tips for stopping spraying

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 TO ALL CATS



"The Pink Room"

thats mean the room is for fur-kids... btw, that is my cats room.

like if u have children (daughter or son), of course your want their room to be fancy for kids right

Good luck in your process of neutering your cat

its very stressful for them when the mating season come.

First of all, congratulation for having a new cat and welcome to cat lovers home

ya agree that short hair is far easy to take care than the long hair cats.

Food.
Iams is among the cheapest premium food. you can also try Science Plan, royal canin. This 3 brands are easy to get in the petshop. of course there are also other premium brands, but not all shop selling it. Whiskas and Frieskies is not premium nor super premium cat food. it is among the low quality because the ingredients are more towards grains and corn but less meat.

Super premium = like Orijen, Innova Evo = Expensive = 100% meat 0% grains, which means the best among all.

Premium = like iams, science plan, royal canin = average price but royal canin still expensive = more meat less grains.

Low quality = whiskas, friskies, smarthear, manja, etc. = cheap as can be found in supermarket = more grains & corn, very less meat.

Yes you can change your cat food, but do it by mixing the old food with the new brand food. example if you cat is currently eating PRODUCT A, but you feel like changing to PRODUCT B, now you need to mix 80% Product A with 20% Product B. Slowly decrease the Product A day by day, until its completely PRODUCT B. Actually you can find this on the cat food packet, i think i saw this manual on friskies and whiskas pack.

In my opinion, it is better for you to feed your cat atleast premium food. If he is a kitten, then buy kitten food. This is up to your budget.

More about food, please check out this website:
common questions about feeding your cat

feeding your cat the right way

Good nutrition for your cat

---

Supplement, vitamin, etc.
First of all, ignore all of this. What you need to do is visit veterinary. Do medical checkup again parasites, vaccine, and deworm your cat. If you already feeding good food at least premium type... you can skip all this supplement, vitamin, etc.

My point is, rather than you spend too much on supplement & vitamin, might as well you go buy expensive food right.

---

Drink/water.
Prefer filter water or air masak. please "air paip" please.

---

Cleaning mouth
The yellow yellow thingy is TAR. you need to wash this by using cat tooth brush and cat tooth paste (can be found at petshop). or else, during bath, get a piece of small towel, and slowly rub the towl on your cat teeth.

If you cat is suffering from bleeding gums, or reddish blood color gums, and very bad tar on teeth, you need to do scaling at the veterinary. YES! it is expensive. so better take early action on mouth and teeth of your cat. because most cats owner ignore this part.

You can refer to this website:
how to cure cat bad breath

beside the mouth, you must also clean the ears. refer to this website = cleaning cats ears

and lastly nail care, click here http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Post...&qpid=22631564= trimming your cats claws

---

Fish, chicken, and meat.
The best is Chicken, then meat, and the worst is fish.

you can feed them raw chicken or meat. also you can half boil the chicken and meat for them. but never put any "perisa". just empty water for boiling will do. Not too cock, medium cook is alright

If you want to feed fish, try to avoid tuna. All fish must be boil till it 100% cook.

---

Veterinary visit.
One time a month is SO GOOD. you cat will be like paris hilton and britney spears if you can afford why not. Your cat will be smiling every month eheheh.
Again, rather than spending money on TOO MUCH visit to the vet, why not buying expensive cat food?
It is best to visit the vet every 3 months. you can also deworm your cat every 3 months.

---

Neuter/Spay/Kembiri
It is best to neuter you cat at early age, to avoid mating season, loud vocal sound, stress, and spraying. Check out this website = neuter spay your cats

---

Attention and toys
Beside caring for the best of your cat, you need to give them attention. toys is a must for indoor cats. You might not want your cat to end up commit suicide because of bored, and moody.

---

Last but not least, you can refer to The Cat Zine for more guide lines and tips.

I think u need to frequently vacuum and mop your house floor with clorox. but please make sure your cat is not around when u doing this. they might end up licking the clorox .. mix it with some water before mop.

carpet? you need to send this to the dobi for cleaning.

when you want to kill fleas in the house, you need to kill fleas on your pets too... no point cleaning the house but not your pets. fleas is a smart parasite, they will run and jump to your cat to safe for life.
