Sis anong brand yung kitty litter sa S&R?

[mama squeak!]

^The brand's name is Litter Purrfect. Sometimes meron din silang stock na 40lb bins na brand name is naman is LitterClean. Both are good specially for multiple cat household like ours. What I like is hindi sya maalikabok like some of the earlier litter I've tried and the clumping is not so hard na mahirap minsan i-scoop yung pee nila.

[rumplehuey]

Thanks sis. Nagpunta ko kahapon sa S&R. Bumili ako ng Litter Purrfect P549.95 at Scoop Away P649.95. Hinalo ko lang sa regular clumping litter sand ko dito. Mabango na sya!!! at mas madali i-scoop. Mukhang matagal tagal ko na magagamit ang littersand dito.

I've been using Tidy Cats for the longest time kasi siya yun hindi pinaka-maalikabok compared sa iba na available dito sa Middle East, Pero I'll try Litter Purrfect too kapag uwi sa Pilipinas. Thanks Mama Squeak!

Btw, one of my cats became a fussy eater this year, I was always out of the country and my husband spoiled him so much he has 5 diffrent kinds of dry food available for him so naging mapili ng sobra. Any tips para mabawasan ang pagiging mapili?

Hello there!

We have two Persian-Siamese cats (named Volvo and Cadillac) that we adopted since last year. They grew up inside a cage and now, I want them to stay inside the house na.

Do you guys have tips on how to make the transition as smooth as possible? My concerns are:

1. They poop on their food bowl. I guess yun na yung kinasanayan nilang litter box. Would it be easy to train them to poop inside a real litter box?

2. Naglalagas yung isa sa kanila and this is a major concern. Sorry that I might sound silly, but is there a cat shampoo that helps prevent this? (parang hair fall shampoo lang? )

3. I understand that since they have been caged for so long, at first they might act as if they are prisoners that escaped. Do you have an idea how aggressive cats can be in this instance? Would it be better that during the "transition period," itago muna namin lahat ng babasagin?

4. We had two cats before them that we housed inside. Pinaalis namin sa loob because during lunch and dinner, lagi silang umaakyat sa dining table. How do we prevent this from happening? Yun cat pet kasi ng officemate ko, kapag kumakain daw sila, dedma lang daw yung pusa nila.

Will appreciate your inputs, guys. Been planning on letting them stay with us inside our house, sana matuloy na.

Hi sis. How old na yuung 2 cats mo? as much as possible kasi mas madali ang training when they're younger.

1. Yung mga cats ko marunong sila mag litter box. Nung maliliit sila may sign kung napoop or nawiwi sila. Parang nagiingay. So what I do idederetso ko sila sa litter box. Yung iba ko namang cats natuto sila on their own how to use the itter box (cats kasi are intelligent creatures) Let them roam nalang. at tsagaan talaga sa pagsunod sakanila kung hindi pa litter trained.

2. Kung naglalagas fur niya. Yung tipong lagas talaga ha? better if pacheck mo sa vet. Yung isa ko kasing cat naglagas siya may pinainom na gamot.

3. Lahat ng cats ko kinalakihan ay cat food. So kahit na ibigay ko pa sakanila kinakain ko deadma. Parang titignan pa ko at sa isip isip nila "Yuck ano yan" haha Tulad nung sa officemate mo.. Umaakyat man sila sa table habang kumakain kami hindi nangunguwa food. Nanood lang samin.

^Thanks for the very informative reply

Kaka-one year old lang nila last December. Is it relatively young pa din ba?

1. I see. So mas maganda if the first few days/weeks na nandito na sila sa loob ng bahay, may kasama talaga sila no? Madalas kasing walang tao dito kapag day time ng weekdays. Sa gabi lang kami nandito. Kapag weekends naman, may tao naman.

2. Umm, hindi naman lagas lahat. Kumbaga parang kapag sa tao, konting hair fall lang  Color white kasi si Volvo, and ayun, madami kaming nakikitang "strands" ng fur niya. Kapag binubuhat siya ng kapatid ko, ayun, nakikita niya may mga white fur na sa damit niya. I don't know if this is normal.

3. So it means kapag sanay sila sa cat food, hindi na nila papansinin kahit isda man ang  nasa dining table? Hala, minsan kasi before, kapag ubos na yung cat food ng mga alaga ko (Friskies), human food yung pinapakain sa kanila ng kapatid ko (konting rice and fish).

[px17]

Dalaga at Binata na pala sila 

Yes sis. Better kung lagi sila may kasama para masanay. Tsaka if ever magpoop sila kung saan maituturo mo na sa litter box sila dapat. Gawin mo nalang ibili mo muna sila ng litter sand. Yung clumping kasi dalawa lang naman sila. 22 kasi cats ko kaya ang gamit ko Tidy Cats yung hindi nagclaclump.

Long hair kasi sila diba? Gawin mo nalang ibrush mo sila lagi. Cat kasi dati ng sister ko persian. Makalat talaga hair nila.

Ah nasanay pala sila sa table food. Uhm kasi mga cats ko 1 month old palang natututo na sila kumain. Binibigay ko lang talaga cat dry food. Kasama na kasi sa budget ko 1 month supply nila na food. hehe.

[preciosa]

Wow sis nakakatuwa ka naman... Ang daming mong cats... nakaka ispire naman isipin pano mo sila nahahandle lahat...? Yung dalawang cats ko nga lang nawawalan ako oras kasi madami din kami dogs...

[nutata]

For those in Manda, you can check out Urban Pets along Barangka Drive. That's where we get the harder to find stuff like catnip and nail caps and mas mura sila than in Cartimar Here's their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/anna.bonnevie?ref=tn_tnmn

[heavensent]

^hi sis, are you sure about the FB page? I can't seem to see the items..

[WandaWits]

Mga sis, san ba nakakabili ng malaking packaging ng Catsan?
May alam ba kayo ng pet hotel/hospital where to leave the cat & do you have any idea how much it costs? We're leaving out of the country soon for a month, I'm afraid wala akong mapag iwanan ng cat ko.

[px17]

^maraming catsan sa landmark. Last time din I saw 10kg sa animal house del monte. Alam ko nagpapaboard and lodging ang animal house. Try calling them.

[WandaWits]

^ nakabili ako ng Catsan 10L sa Tiendesitas for P380. Is that cheap enough?
San yung Animal House sis? Sa vet kase niya P350/day sagot mo pa food, parang expensive masyado kung 1 month iiwan.

[px17]

Yes sis that's cheap na. Yan na kasi pinakamalaking size ng catsan. Pero way way cheaper ang cat litter sa s&r kasi mga 50lbs 699 lang. Pero kung isa lang naman cat mo go for catsan na.

Ay dati kasi nagiwan kami sa vet mga ganyan din 200 or 300 ata per day pero for 4 days lang yun. Try mo makipag nego baka may discount kung 1 month naman. Uhm tsaka alam ko sa owner talaga ang food.

Marami branches animal sis. Search mo nalang tas may number din sila sa site nila.

[WandaWits]

Oo nga sis, nakabili ako dati ng arm &hammer sa S&R, yung big box nasa 500plus lang. Discounted price.
Pero ok na rin tong nabilhan ko sa Tiendesitas.

[goldengoose]

subscribing! i'm a cat lover and a breeder of siamese cats and a persian. right now i have two siamese queens (one just gave birth and the other is pregnant) and a blossoming white double coat persian blue-eyed princess :-) my dream cat mula pa pagkabata!

[WandaWits]

Sisses, is it true na ang pets especially  cats can see ghosts/spirit in the house? Yung persian ko kase  lagi pag madaling araw bigla na lang agitated, nagtatakbo kahit im not playing with him, bigla mag run around ng nakatayo mga fur pati sa buntot niya, and as if he' catching something. Sabi kase pag daw naka arch & nakatayo ang mga fur it's a sign na threatened sila. Any same experience to share?

[px17]

^animals can sense things that many humans can't. Wala akong ma alala na sign na nakakita cats ko ng spirit o kung ano mangnilalang. Pero may time na pinipigilan ako umalis ng cat ko. Tas sinabi ko sa mom ko at sabi niya wag nalang ako umalis baka kasi may mangyayaring masama or what.

Ang kulit kulit ng cat ko nun kasi twing pupunta ako sa pinto haharangan niya tas alam mo yung nagmemeow ng malakas parang saying "WALANG AALIS!!" hahaha tas kinakagat na hinahatak pa yung pants ko.

[WandaWits]

So if they can see or sense, does it mean nakakatulong sila makapagtaboy ng spirits? Or they can protect us from these spirits. Kadalasan nag me-meow sya sakin pag madaling araw at agitated siya hindi ko naman maintindihan what he is trying to say.
