Since its already version 4, can I be member number 40

Weee

*celebrating with my cats*. Oren's asleep on his fav mat. Hitam's on the coffee table, licking her fur.

I read someone wants cheap DIY toys for cats.

If you guys happen to go to Zoo Negara (hmm..hahaha! Bg kucing rombongan balik kampung jumpa sepupu-harimau dan singa), just go to souvenir shop there and get a 50 cents worth of peacock feather (bulu burung merak). You should get this cheap here or they probably sell it in some authentic Indian shop.

Its not only cheap, but its safe and very very pretty!

P/S: Price will differ from time to time, but it should not exceed RM3. If you guys have multiple cats, get a few!

Another game I like to play with my cats (and most of the cats I played before), is to put them on a carpet and put your fingers (or some movable objects if you wanna salvage your hand) and move it around back and forth.

Eventually my old cats already figure out that the 'thing' underneath the carpet and went straight to my hand


Taken yesterday. She was pulling this tongue pose for quite awhile, can't help but to snap a photo or two..or three

Perhaps rather than just having a name list of the Cat Lovers members, why not also include thumbnail pictures of the pets owned by them. Hmm..deceased cats pun nak include jgak ke...hehe

Folks,

Any idea what type of ointment/cream for small cut or injuries on cats? Minyak gamat and Dettol are a no-no, of course.

My 3 legged cat, Oren is so prone to small accidents, unlike my other cat (pure kampung). I really think Oren is a mixed breed, since personality wise, he's quite laid back, friendly AND accident-prone cat (kucing bodoh, haha!)

I know I'm not suppose to bring the cat outside, but with my old maid taking care of 'em while I'm away, there's no other way. My cats are indoor during night and almost half of the day in house premise.

With Oren's clumsy habit, I definitely need to stock up a few medication for him. Better if its over-the-counter product. Been taking him to clinic for small injury almost every month.

Speaking of kucing sakit, my cat, Oren has been quarantined in clinic for 3 days cos of Jaundice (demam kuning) yesterday. Aiyoyoyo. We didn't realized the signs since he has yellow eyes and yellow fur (Cause he was all yelloww..-Coldplay). Thankfully the vet called this afternoon and informed that Oren is progressing;

1) He started eating. Appetite increased. (He has not been eating for 2 days, so its a good progress).

2) The yellow-ness on him (ears, mouth, eyes and paw) starts to pinked up. (again, good progress)

The cause of this disease, my speculation is cos of the construction next door. My cats love to guling2 outdoor, and cement sands are everywhere [chemicals]. My selfish neighbor's house has been under construction for almost four years. My late Belang died from jaundice 3 yrs ago. He was 9 yrs old.

Hope we're lucky with Oren this time.

Here's a few readings on Jaundice

Description: Cats that have jaundice develop a yellowish color to their skin, gums, and the whites of their eyes because of deposits of bile pigment in their body tissues.

Prevention:
There are no preventives other than prohibiting cats from consuming medications, chemicals, and toxic plants that cause jaundice. Also, getting medical attention for cats showing the initial symptoms of jaundice may improve the prognosis. An owner should seek veterinary care if the cat is overweight and refuses to eat for longer than two to three days in a row.

ADORABLE CALICO SEMI-LONG HAIR CAT FOR ADOPTION!

I've already posted this in Adoption thread, but hope its okay to duplicate the post here. Ok ar, El?

This cat has been around my apartment area. I've been feeding some of the cats, but this cat has been one of the friendliest, smart and sleek cat I've met. She's also has a very good behavior and well mannered. She would sit on my lap and response easily when being called.

Cat lovers who's searching for that special cat and want to do a good deed to society, this is THE cat for you.

Age: My guess is about a year or more.
Gender: Female
Breed: DSH (but has quite a long hair compared to the norms)
Color: Calico



PM me if interested. I have yet to find the cat since she's roaming around the area, but no worries. Already have two old cats under my care back in my hometown, lol.

Location: Cyberia.

Added on January 19, 2009, 12:09 pmWoah? Nyanyuk ar? Never experience that actually

But if personality and behavior wise, then yes. Like El mentioned, cats are very territorial. My 12 yr old cat will change her spot every 2 or 3 weeks. Satu sebelah tv ade, atas almari 6 kaki, atas astro (siap rosak pasal die lagi), on computer table...kalau angkat die, nnt cakar wei! Or at least she'll move in back again. I guess that can be somewhat categorized as 'sakit jiwa', but not so much le.

Probably your cat found mr or mrs right in the middle of the night. Thats why la ur cat nak terejun, join skali.

My adopted male cat of 1 yr now is still not so friendly towards my 12 yr female cat, Hitam. Hitam ni pun satu, taknak kawan langsung. Eishh..

So sorry to hear that. I've been taking care of my friend's cat who was diagnosed with FIP (wet) early last year. He pretty much survived for about 2 months after the diagnosed. Every week gotta drain the liquid from his stomach.

Hang in there, dude.

The last last resort you can do is to buy 'auto feeder' food and water. Either put them in a cage or better in closed large area where they can roam around. For me, I either get the neighbor (or their maid) to feed them or my friendly exterminator .


Auto feeder...ni kena beli byk2 and refill sampai penuh since you have 7 cats. Wuh, byk tuh!


Wah...that's like RM4.16 per day for 12 days or are you talking about per day?

You can use olive/baby oil with cotton bud on the ear canal. Cat's ear canal is like an L shape, no need to be that worry about going in too deep like the human's ear.

You can google more detailed instructions or go here

Never heard of this. It does make sense though since it contains cod liver oil.

I ought to try that though...easier than shoving big supplement pill on my cat's throat..

Daym. Bless you, dude. I have 2 and its already a lot of work.

Added on January 29, 2009, 10:12 pmYeah, been to UPM a few times accompanying my friend's cat. Its better if you go there on time, not too late. If not they won't entertain at all. Biasa lar, government service.

I think if you just bring your cat there for normal injuries or sickness, its not worth it that much, unless you live nearby. But I would strongly suggest pet owners to go there to do a thorough full checkup on the pets since they have all the facilities there.

There's one senior doc there that I liked. A chinese lady, very nice, forgot her name. The rest mostly are interns...Grey's Anatomy, haha!

Yeap. One of my cats is pretty much a 3 legged since the paw of his front leg's nerve is injured due to accident. He climb trees, roof and chase birds. Quite lucky since the back legs are useful to jump from one place to another.

Lets start the project 'Bionic Cat'!!!

Aiseh, why so many ppl looking forward to adopt kitten instead of cat? I have a cat for adoption though. She's been around my apartment for quite awhile. A very well mannered, cutest cat I've ever seen (apart from my two cats at home, lol!). There's another thing though, I just found out that she's pregnant.

[WTA: What to Adopt]: Harimau.

I heard a story on this before, about my friend's cat wanting to bite my friend's hand when it saw the veins on the hand...hmm, not sure whether its true. Read this http://board.pets-buynow.com/Cats/Beware_Y...ous_provocation

Here here. I second that motion.

Something for cat and animal lovers need to know of. Its about DBKL Inhumane Killing of Dogs and Cats. Go here

Hi y'all. The stray pregnant cat in my area has already given birth to 3 cute kittens. I always feed the mom cat food.

Questions.
1. Is it safe to bring the mom cat or the babies in my apartment? I read that the newborn kittens are bound to carry contagious disease. Er, I just brought the mom cat in my house last night..might need to disinfect my living room.

2. If I don't have access to go to vet today, beside feeding the mom kitten's food, what can I do? They are staying in the box in the indoor garden area of my apartment. Is my apartment balcony a good option (will be able to protect the fence of my balcony)?

Pls advice. I wish to adopt the mom cat, but I already have 2 elderly cats at hometown (all adopted strays) and both of them been giving me heart attack everyday cos I am a few miles away from them.

Those who wish to continue the legacy line of loving and passionate cat ownership, pls pm me. Will upload photos soon. Thank you
