QUOTE(pumpkinn @ Jan 18 2009, 12:43 PM) thx again. and why my cat likes to smell everything. just like a dog. normally cats wont do that right? she smell my legs, carpets, floor and even my housemate's (a guy) private part!! lol.... Cat nose is one of the important organs. They need it to detect and establish things around them. it is 14 times stronger than human nose. they depends so much on their sense of semll. they use it so sniff on food, mates, enemies, and establish territory which has previous marked.The world of a cat is the world of scents and odors. Do you know? - cat nose pad is like human finger print? It has unique characteristic. Just as no two humans have the same fingerprints, it's a fact that no two feline noseprints are alike. - on heat female will love to smell on men armpit. they turn on eheheh |

QUOTE(shah21 @ Jan 19 2009, 07:55 AM) Morning everyone... last day i'd visit my friends at Putrajaya. He gave me an info about cats. The best part is when he said "cats also can get mental prob. like meroyan, sakit jiwa and nyanyok.." sorry to hear about that.For me it sound funny but seriously at the same time i'm little bit shock! hehe.. to my cat that now in heaven, i wanna tell u that i luv and miss u too.. i'm so sorry and felt regret.. forgive me and R.I.P.... fact is cat is very easy to get involve with stress. anything around them, anything they see, anything change, will turn out to be stress out. cat a territory animal. once they love 1 place, it will be their place. when u change the environment, they will become stress. stress lead to several abnormal behavior such as moody, sadness, litter problem, etc. it also lead to health disorder problem which include sick/fever. most cat that change in environment will be stress.. the first sign you will get is a very loud sound in a new place. by nature cat do not go in group. most of them get stress to make a new territory, they afraid if it that place is belong to them. all they know, "lets fight over this territory". bringing new cats to a new home is very easy actually. extra attention will do. what ever it is 2 cats/kittens is better than 1. to avoid the loneliness. still you need to consider, if that cat is a new cat in the home, while you already have other cat. this will create stress too... so watch out, attention to both cats needed. |

QUOTE(stormaker @ Jan 19 2009, 10:13 AM) Hi guys, it's me again n advise needed AGAIN ( at least to release my stress here ). I think i have lot's of "cat problems" n asked a lots here ... pls forgive me. A) Spay the mommy cat. ( Really can't afford more kitten ) = at this moment, nobody know if she is successfully mate. depends on the male. sometimes it takes time to start pregnant. if she is at home now, and you still hear she is meowing calling for sex. that's mean she is not pregnant yet. check that first.1) I'm thinking of spay the on heat mommy cat after CNY, but yesterday while i'm not at home, my mom open my room door n the mommy cat ran out n only came back home after few hours, now i'm worry she'll get pregnant again. Can i still wait until after CNY ? 2) I'm also planned to vaccinate my 3 kittens after CNY, but recently 1 of them have symtom of difficulty to breath, noise during breathing even during sleep. But still play n eat like normal. Is it ashtma n need immediate treatment ? 3) My friend rescued 2 abondoned kittens (from longkang) last few weeks, n i think they 're now 2 to 3 months old. Last night, one of them got blood in the urine after pee. Is it UTI ? They all 're on RC Babycat n occasionally canned food. Initially I budget to spay the mommy cat n vaccinate the kittens after CNY, but now ... don't know what should i do ... The financial support on the 2 rescued kittens by my friend is on me ... So, u guys think which one I should give top priority n pls comment if have other advises especially the way for self treatment or way to delay the treatment. Thanks ! A) Spay the mommy cat. ( Really can't afford more kitten ) B) Vaccinate the kittens. C) Treatment for the kitten with breathing difficulty. D) Treatment for the kitten with urine in blood. let say if she is successfully mating and no more meow. Now it takes 20 to 50 for the eggs are viable (capable of being fertilized) for approximately one day. The eggs are fertilized in the oviduct, and then make their way to the uterus via the uterine horn, implanting in the uterine lining within 10 to 12 days. You can still spay during this time, it won't classify as abortion, because it is not a kitten yet. You need to ask your vet for this. some vet do it, some vet do not do it. some vet charge extra, some vet do not charge any. What you need to do is speak/call your vet for best way to avoid unwanted kittens. B) Vaccinate the kittens. = I'm not sure what noise of breathing you actually hear. Make sure you don't get confuse with PURR. All case will purring. Some do it while sleeping too. The purr comes from two membrane folds, called false vocal cords, that are situated in the larynx behind the actual vocal cords. Cats purr 26 cycles per second, the same as an idling diesel engine. Cats purr both when inhaling and exhaling, keeping the mouth completely closed. As for asthma, the sign of it, you normally see your kitten sneezing, coughing, and vomiting. The best way, ask your vet to make a check up. When you go to the vet for vaccination, please let the vet know that, one of the kitten problem. Tell them what you hear and see, before they start vaccine your kittens. Normally vet will ask, how your kitten is doing, eating well, good stool, etc. before vaccine. Vaccine will be given to only healthy. so don't hide anything you see and hear. it is better to confirm with vet. C) Treatment for the kitten with breathing difficulty. = Refer above (B) D) Treatment for the kitten with urine in blood. = this one need to be send to vet. early stage will be antibiotic only. vet will need to examine the kitten urine under the telescope to see how bad it is. if only a few crystal found, its at early stage. so again, bring the cat immediately to vet. it's painful! a faster reaction needed before it turn bad. |

QUOTE(neshie @ Jan 19 2009, 10:55 AM) Hi there. 1) He frequently scratches his ear on both sides, does that mean he has ear mites? = Yeap, ear mites is singing inside the ear ehehe that's why it hurting your cat's ears.My uncle brought back home an American Curl or something last month,and I have a few questions regarding the cat. 1) He frequently scratches his ear on both sides, does that mean he has ear mites? 2) My cousin has a love/hate relationship with him, and he's only 7. He's constantly scaring the cat even when we told him not to, and just 2 days back the cat pooped at a different place (not the litterbox), could that be a sign of stress? 3) Will his breath stink if he kills/eats raw animal meat? Cuz i saw traces of bird feathers and a small puddle of something that looked like blood. He's currently kept in an unoccupied home, so we cant really see what he's doing. 2) My cousin has a love/hate relationship with him, and he's only 7. He's constantly scaring the cat even when we told him not to, and just 2 days back the cat pooped at a different place (not the litterbox), could that be a sign of stress? = Most cats hate children. yes he/she is stress, that is the reason why you see the poop different place. find a suitable place and quite place for the litter box. and tell your cat the litter box is at a safe place without intruders. 3) Will his breath stink if he kills/eats raw animal meat? Cuz i saw traces of bird feathers and a small puddle of something that looked like blood. yes all raw, soft, melt food will make the mouth smell badly. dry food will help to clean the teeth tar tar. the smell come from tar tar. eating bird/mouse/lizard/cockroach is not a good thing for indoor or pets. it's like killing them slowly. all this animal bring disease, you might not want them to play or eat this animal with disease, especially mouse. parasite and worms come from bird and mouse. clean her/his mouth, bring to vet if you have not deworm. bring to vet if you see any sign of sickness/poison. |

QUOTE(stormaker @ Jan 19 2009, 04:24 PM) Thanks lots master elf ... yes, if im in your place i will do the same too.. treatment for the urination problem and breath problem.From ur advise, I think the top priority will be given to the one with blood in urine n the one with breathing difficulty. If this 2 treatments doesn't cost a lot then only spay n vaccinate after CNY, if not I have to bet on my luck n delay spaying n vaccine ... or be muka tembok n ask for installament payment from vet. The mommy cat still meowing but not as often as before, n not sure meowing for freedom or sex. For the breathing difficulty kitten, i didn't notice sneezing, coughing n vomiting, n i'm sure it's not purr bcos it's sound more like asthma like human. good luck |

QUOTE(jiunshan @ Jan 19 2009, 10:50 PM) Hi everyone! anything to do with itchy is parasite. for ears it should be ear mites. you will see black black thinggy inside the ears. if you do not know how to clean it, better ask demo and help from the vets. learn from them. if you haven't vaccine and deworm, do that too.I had adopt a cat recently, juz few days ago I found that she keeps on scratching her both ear side, and elfreakz mentioned that it is ear mites, is that mean I have to send her to vet? Beside that, I am balik kampung for CNY and I am looking for good boarding places, or even better if someone here can help me to look after her. Thanks in advanced! |

QUOTE(shah21 @ Jan 24 2009, 03:04 AM) Yo El, where you've been in these 2 days, my friend?? Cuti-cuti Malaysia ke? i'm still around lah, there's nothing much to answer, so i keep myself quiet in my box cut cat fur? better ask professional grooming shop to do it. you play with the sharp thinggy if u don't know how. bahaya oowww.. you can use the fur trimmer. but cost RM lah. beside, that thing make sound, cat freak out easily. still professional is a better place. the one that know how to cut doggy furs is the best. normally dogs go for fancy fur, so the people are professional with animal furs. nail? you need to person to do this job. unless you have a cat that listen. some of my cats just seat quietly without moving. but some need 2 person. when you seat on the floor, hold the cat, and let him seat on your thigh. so another person will clip it. if they try to move, calm them down first. rub the head, and chin. make them comfortable. then continue clipping slowly, one by one. if they insist to move away, let him/her go. don't struggle too much. cats are very emotional. once they don't like it, they will never like it forever. yes FOR-EVER! eheheh. some people use the roll in towel technique. they come the body with towel, and take out one by one legs. some people bought this eyes cover. some petshop selling it, like petsmore they have it. that thing will cover the cat eyes so they don't get nerves. remember, giving some treat is a best way to calm them after the process.. catnip treat is the best. so they don't get paranoid. again, release them if they don't want, and try again later on. jangan memaksa. |

QUOTE(abang brother @ Jan 24 2009, 11:17 AM) Sobs, i just adopted a DLH, and turns out that the DLH have Fleas Allergy. It will scratch it self until got big wound. Doctor said it have to use Spot-On for the rest of its life. Now the DLH is at the vet for some major wound cleaning. wah that is so sad. you need to make sure if that cat has fleas or not. some cat with fleas will show that big wound, later after kill all the fleas they will remover again.you need to make sure no fleas in your house after this. and for this time, you need to remove 100% fleas on that cat. and see what happen after that. some will cure, but you need to make sure your house 100% NO FLEAS. -- here is the treatment i found on the net. The most important treatment for flea allergy is to get the cat away from all fleas. Strict flea control is the backbone of successful treatment. There are many products available for flea control, and many work in an entirely different manner. In some cases, multiple products may be needed. Some are used on the cat and some in the cat’s environment. Unfortunately, complete flea control is not always possible for cats that live outdoors in warm and humid climates, where a new population of fleas can hatch out every 14-21 days. Some cats can be desensitized to the adverse effects of flea bites. Flea saliva extract (flea antigen) is injected into the cat in tiny amounts over a prolonged period of time. This is an attempt to reprogram the cat’s immune system so it no longer over-reacts to flea bites. If successful, itching no longer occurs or is less intense when the cat is bitten. This approach is only successful about 50-75% of the time. When strict flea control is not possible, corticosteroids (or "cortisone" or "steroids") can be used to block the allergic reaction and give relief. This is often a necessary part of dealing with flea allergy. Some cats respond best to long-acting injections and others to oral medication. Cats are much more resistant to the side-effects of steroids than humans, but significant side-effects can occur if they are not used properly. For this reason, the goal is to administer the smallest amount of steroid needed to keep the cat comfortable. Some cats develop a secondary bacterial infection in the skin. When this occurs, appropriate antibiotics must be used. This post has been edited by elfreakz: Jan 24 2009, 10:05 PM |

QUOTE(nash9701 @ Jan 26 2009, 06:04 PM) i just got a new female DLH today, just 4 month...so i want to ask, what we need to do for a cat when she at new place?? how to make her happy and comfortable with her new environment... Congrates!(^_____^) First vet. Vaccine, health check, deworm. Second, find good food for her, toys, nice litter and maybe some treat. Third, avoid loud house. if you have children, ask them not to disturb the kitten. she is in a process of growing, you might want her to become scare to human when she become adult. so peaceful house with people playing with her, so she can become tame and friendly. 4th, give a name, and keep on mentioning the name over and over again, so she know her name. 5th, let her go anywhere in your house. she need to check your house, and find her favorite spot. 6th, make sure the house is secure for her good luck |

QUOTE(shah21 @ Jan 27 2009, 07:04 PM) GONG XI FA CAI to all Malaysian especially to Chinese! I seriously think that your 3 kitten is infected by ear mites or maybe lice. if you see the upper eyes like botak till the ears. beside, since you did mention garu garu their ears. that kurap is like luka kering, because they scratch that ear, then jadi luka. luka then will become worst if it is not treat well. Yo El, yesterday when i came back, 3 of my cats get infection like kurap at their ears.. But i feel wierd because 3 of them i put INSIDE my house. Another 4 cats i put inside cage (outdoor) and nothing problem with them pulak tu.. Nak kata they're fighting, tak logic coz 3 of them still young lg.. ------ 1 more thing, which cat litter brand do u suggest? i've tried so many brand and now i currently use 'cristal litter'. It litle bit expensive but worth coz no need to change every week.. Actually i'm not worried bout their "cakes". The problem is, their urine. U got what i mean right? Many pet shop will tell us their selling product is much better than the others that they dont have/sell and that also make me confused which one is the best for my "kids".. How bout you,El? you will need to clean the ears, every 2 days. since its look pretty bad. make sure inside the ears are in pink color. no black or brown wax. if your kitten ears are all clean, but still have that thinggy. you need to check for lice. lice is very hard to see. but very easy on black cat. u will see on its fur, something like white dusk. very hard to see with eyes too. lice normally love cat face and neck. they crawl on the fur, and itchy. whatever it is, try your best to remove any types of parasites. that wound/luka, u need to bring to the vet. for check up. they normally will supply the correct cream. and also they will check what parasite your cat actually suffer from. --- litter brand eh. i use fussie cat litter with lemon smell.. its cheap for multi cats house. crystal litter is suitable for few cats in a house. check out this article = Litter cleaning for cats |
