ok....thanks a lot for all the information given El......now i know what can i do for the kitty already. one last question, just want to reconfirm with you, you said that origen is for both adult and kitten right? i think i read from here before, if not mistaken. cuz i guess it will be more convenient for me. you know sometimes, kitten will want to eat adult food and adult cat will want to eat kitten food. hehe...

Al,

Last time i have 4 cats, 1 died (DLH - Jeny) so now 3 left. 1 DLH female 4months (not same sibling as Jeny) and other 2 Local breed  (Taby 3months). These 2 taby looks kurus a bit as i told earlier.

I'm not mixing in a same cage with the DLH. They are in other cage. Just monitor yesterday. Looks good they eat well.

Actually my cat is completely indoor's cat. I just wonder how can this fleas come to him. What i suspect is recently got two stray cat come to my house. (I'm staying terrace house, they lepak in front car park) They even siting outside the door(mirror door), and do some territory marking and see my cat reaction. My cat of course angry and meow laughter here and there, and wanna jump outside, look like wanna get a big fight with them(i don't think my cat can win, coz the stray cats look like warrior... ) After that i found my cat got fleas... is not many, just few fleas (what i saw and catched, but dono they breed eggs or not), i'm also worry the fleas come back...
Btw, can i use the Frontline spray for prevention? since i have it now and thinking izit necessary only can use spot on for prevention?was thinking finished spray bottle 1st then only get the spot on... so can i do that?
So today is the 1st day to quarantine my cat. I only can release him after 3 days right? Then whats the next step should i do? Bath him.. clean the cage...? how often put the frontline for prevention? every month once? Please advise, Thanks!

Yes, i'm new with kitten and cat thats why need some opinion.

Those 2 tabby date of birth is 15 Jan 2009 nearly around 3 months. Not yet getting 1st vet or dewormed coz i dont want to be the same incident like Jeny before thats why. Maybe next week will do after they getting fatter.

Any other suggestions?

El, just an update for my kitty. she has earmite!!! so i bought a bottle of the medicine for both of my cat and the kitten. my cat is just for prevention. according to the vet, she is 4 months old. and she is only 0.9 kg!!! how pityful!!! hope that she will get healthier as soon as possible while for vaccination, it can only be done after few weeks as she has a symptom of flu. so need to be observed 1st.

hi elf, just saw my cat back leg got this "black hole".. any idea what it is?
no fur inside the hole, just the skin... but is black color skin. Izit the flea's camp?

The first time I've posted here about girl being pregnant was 27th February.
Now it's already 10th April.

Mind reminding me how long does cat get pregnant before they gave birth?

Hey people, its me again.. it's been a while, well actually only a week. Huhu.
Well actually, that Friday morning, my kitten had bleeding poop. It's not bleeding at the poop itself, the poop looked normal, but I can see some brown+reddish liquid at his anus. I suspected it from the milk I gave. Didn't go to Jabatan Perkhidmatan Haiwan coz seems like my kitten really hated long driving so instead I brought him to a very nearby vet. Got him some medications for the eye as well as some antibiotic and deworming. The vet said there are 3 causes of bleeding poop - virus, worm and the other one I actually forgot what is it. Huhu. She said can't tell its a virus yet coz I just got him for a week, have to wait after 2 weeks, and vaccine can only be done after 2 weeks as well. The vet suspected worm for the bleed coz she saw the worm's egg under the microscope and I even saw that too! Anyways she said that I can see the worm coming out with his poop after a few days, but I didnt see any worms at his poop at all after 3 days? Or I didnt look at it carefully eh?

Anyways, he looked already healthy and the eyes are big as ever, not until today coz something else happened pulak. My kitten is not eating breakfast! I thought maybe my housemate has given him breakfast already before she's off to work at 7 am, coz I saw the bowl is empty when I went out of my room at 8 am, and I know he should be hungry at the morning right coz the dinner is like 9 hrs ago. I gave him his food then, normally every morning he would be running to have his breakfast but today, he went to the bowl and sniff2 and then walk away?? Maybe he has eaten, but then while I was having my breakfast, he vomited right in front of me. The vomit doesnt look like saki baki of food, its like perut kosong punya vomit, like buih2 like that? I cleaned the bowl and everything already, and I always change the food every mealtime but he's not eating..  Huhu, I tried crushing the kibbles with my spoon and add a bit of water but he's not even interested at all. Should I bring him to the vet again? And, why is he vomiting?

Above all, he is still an active kitten, always jumping and running and chasing people's legs.
hurm, mine has orange cat, and has lots of Japanese writings there. Not sure which one, but it doesnt have any smell either.

Ok, I just saw other vomits around the living room. There was one with a little bit food with it, and to my surprise I saw something else as well. Thought it was blood at first but after examining, it was a red feather from my kitten's toy . He might have swallowed it. Huhu, but the portion of food is very little, I saw a few more vomit spots around the house and they are already the white colour liquids and some foamy ones as well. Afraid he might caught gastric!  How to make him eat now?

hi guys,i wanna ask a question here..but before i ask,i wanna apologize for this question.maybe this question is too simple for u all..but im not a person who simply ask the question before reading the whole thread,but now im desperately dont have much time to read it.furthermore u guys really have such a fast growing thread,v4 already and 100 page ..i apology because sometimes some senior forumers didnt like someone new like me to ask the same and basic question n make them tired to answer the same things..so i apology first for my weakness..im here to ask u guys,i keep my friends cat temporarily for a few day..but this big guy has some problem,he lose hair at some part of his body..and his left eye quite watery and cannot open very well..i ask my fren about it,she said she just buy him from someone who cannot look after him anymore because sympathy to him..and his condition already like this..i suspect he lost some of his hair because of his diet,because the skin quite healthy..but wanna ask u guys first.and somemore,this fella really scare to people la,i suspect he got abused before..ok,this is picture of his hair..sorry for the long post..

The most recognised sign your cat is infected with ringworm is circular patches of hair loss, especially around the head & limbs (although it can occur on other parts of the body also). Other signs are grey, patchy areas of baldness, with or without redness & itching, seborrhea sicca (a type of dandruff), dry/flaky skin, onychomycosis (infection of the claw &  clawbed).

Hi, my cat got problem. He very healthy wan. just a few days i saw got black black thing on his nose, den i don't care lor, i just use wet towel rub of this black black thing abit and till got some left but i just leave it there. Than soon day after day his black black thing come off itself but the nose only left skin there. The nose shiny shiny lar. Usually cat nose got red red + watery like that and got some fur abit right? Now already botak and skin color edi. my bro says is a kurap on his nose. is it true? If yes than what should i do?

I went to visit the vet this evening, just got back actually, and the vet said it is because of the feather, some might have still be inside his stomach, and since the food that came out is already digested (I actually took a picture of the vomit and showed to the vet), so the problem is around the stomach and the intestine area. So the vet gave me 3 meds including this one med called Laxatone , but anyway, I cant give the med not until he eats, the vet even said for me to stop feeding dry food and change to wet food. I bought this wet food brand called sumo cat, quite a number of them, but he seems like not interested to eat at all! How can i make him eat?? Have to force like babies eh?

Actually I stopped the first medication since Tuesday, and he was okay since but I think this new problem came right after he swallowed the feather! Huhu. Got him the dewormed medication last week so the worm problem should be solved already la eh? The stool was okay the whole week, so it should be okay lah right?

hurm.. he's not even interested with his previous dry food as well?  .. he looked so restless..

not even drinking...  ..

tried to force but to no avail. it went out from the mouth. isk, have to be more garang.  ..

btw, i read that some cat mites can even transfered to human? i mean yea ringworm can right, but what about mites/ticks? dunno lah lately i have some mite bites on my skin too! just now just realized got another 2 bites. my fren said its the mattress one but i now suspected i got it from my kitten coz never had that many before. i should get frontline eh? i mean for the kitten not me. 

Wah, I was looking for Hill's or RC ones too, but the pet shop I went which was the only one opened at that time have not many choice of wet food. Shall search for that tomorrow! Thanks for the recommendation! Already tried forcing the food to him, I think a little bit did went through the esophagus, I hope!  . Should feed him all the time with syringe yea?

yes,u r rite..the same thing at tail, under tail, near the private part, back legs.funny when he has fluffy fur at their around their head,and front leg..if it cause by ringworm,how to solve it?vet?or any medication that i can buy..pity him,he should be handsome guy..ha3.

Added on April 10, 2009, 11:28 pmbtw,thanks for the answer..this is one of the reason u have a fast growing thread,ha3.

ok..so need to see vet jgk lah..maybe before seeing the vet,i can try to take fur specimen and put under microscope,ha3.and under uv light somemore.but dunno how its look like..ok,will inform her asap after she came back..btw,can ringworm from the cat infect us?ringworm cause by fungi rite?

thought it was the hama too, but then what wonders me is i got another few extra bites while i was out to the vet. hurm, nevermind will do another spring cleaning of the house. the bites on my skin (mainly at my arms) looked like the mosquito bite with a dot in the middle. maybe it's not a dust mite or bed mites, googled the picture and it was diff. surely the flea or somekinda bug! it just happened last 2 days though. haih, too many things happened in a few days. how can he get the flea since he's just staying indoor? shud it be possible he might have it before i got him?

my poor kitten, vomited again an hour after the force feeding and medication. the vet did say that he might still vomit again and it will take him a few days to react to the meds, but how will he have the strength with an empty stomach? i myself have already started to frustrate now, but i know i cant give up!
