CAT: Food, Health, Care Tips, Supplies, Toys etc.. Part III

[quinone]

^^baka kitty is asking for play. wag mo po hayaan maglaro gamit ang extremeties mo  masasanay siya at kapag mas malaki na siya e mas masakit. always use a toy. i remember yung kitten ko dati buong araw lang kami naglalaro kasi wala siyang kapaguran!

nung nakuha ko siya before, around 6 weeks as per the vets estimate. nung nagbasa ako sa internet ang sabi kapag maaga nawalay sa parents ang kitten, yung iba nagiging biter, i guess hindi kasi naturuan ng parents. pwede na ata kunin sa mommy kapag 8 weeks pero best pa rin kung 12 weeks.

^oo nga pala, kapag may ginagawang bad lalu na kung nangangagat, ilagay mo yung pointer finger mo sa nose niya sabihin mo "no" pero sa kitten ko nagwo-work yun "be good"

maglabas ka ng toys para di ka niya lagi iniistorbo kapag hindi ninyo play time, mga paperbags/boxes na parang tunnel, or ping pong balls.

super cute niyan kapag ganyang stage. i-video mo para may memories kayo kasi mabilis lumaki ang kittens

^np. ito hindi ko nagawa sa cat ko kasi late ko na nakita, baka makatulong sayo yung mga "Kitten Gentling" techniques sa youtube. para masanay na hinahawakan and to build trust kasi eventually you may need to cut the nails, give medicine, or paliguan, etc.

2 yun pusa ko, ngayun isa na lang. Naglayas yata yun isa. Hanggang ngayun dipa umuuwi. Sabi nila nag-asawa na daw yun tapos babalik na lang din. Nakakalungkot lang.

Yun natirang pusa sa akin ngayun extra malambing. Akala niya siguro itinapon ko yun kapatid niya.

Sisses, yun pets niyo din ba mahilig sa chicken? Pag chicken kasi pagkain namin umaakyat sa table kahit meron na siya catfood.

[blackgreen]

Tidycats gamit namin sa bahay. Yun isang 5 kilos nasa 2 to 3 weeks na gamitan ni Puti. Di naman mabaho. Or sadyang konti lang mag-poop and umihi pusa namin. Hahaha..

[blackgreen]

^oo nga sis kakalungkot. Pero sa fish, mapili si Puti. Minsan pag binibilhan ko siya ng isda tapos lulutuin ko di niya kinakain. Pero pag chicken kahit anong luto pa yan minsan nga kahit buto walang natitira. Pork di kumakain alaga ko.

Lalake din si Puti pero feeling ko bakla. May ganun ba sa pusa? Hahaha.. Di siya kasi lumalabas tapos di rin siya namamansin ng babaeng pusa.

oo haha. i give it as a treat. kapag ulam namin chicken lagi ko ipinagtatabi. yung kitten ko, ayaw ng balat. i don't know kung ganun rin for others.

yung kitten ko maaga kong pinakapon, ewan ko lang if that will help sa paglalayas ng cats.

[blackgreen]

Thanks sis missveket and quinone.

Isa ko pa palang problem sa pusa ko yun gumagapang na maliliit. Kahit anong lagay ko nung flea powder di nauubos. Parang padami ng padami pa sila.

[quinone]

^sa vet ako nagpa-apply ng frontline. hirap magspray ang likot e, para di rin masayang. kailangan i-rub sa kanya kaya ayoko rin ma-associate niya ako sa panget na experience.

[monnom]

mga sis, may naka-try na ba sa inyo na mag-deworm ng sariling cat? kasi yung neighbor namin, sabi niya siya daw nagddeworm sa mga dogs niya pati sa isang cat niya.

[starf1sh]

Yes sis. ako i dewormed my own cats after na dinala ko sila sa Vet at first for deworming.. i just told the Vet if i can buy deworming medicine/tablets (every 2 weeks ata i-administer, if a remember correctly). then the Vet let me buy some pre-cut tablets (like 2 pcs. for each cat), tapos ipainom sa cats.
(i have 2 cats

^^ Hi, was wondering how you do this? I've been wanting to try deworming my cat on my own as well.. but people always tell me that I might have a hard time because masusungit ang cats when you try to make them swallow something. Do you mix it with their cat food?

I also have a question for everyone.. I've been experience quite an intense flea infestation in my room for the past 3 weeks. Although I have already lessened it since I set up a flea trap and vacuumed all sides in my room. My cat just stays here inside and never goes out.. That's why I'm assuming he got the fleas when I took him to the city vet to get his free shots..

I'm searching for the most effective flea spray that I can use for my room so I can totally kill their life cycle.. I just bought Advocate earlier in Tiendesitas but I won't be able to use it until two days because I just had my cat groomed and that's what the vet instructed. I'm really hoping you guys can suggest what flea spray that I can use for my room. I don't like that my cat keeps grooming himself because he's itchy and pati na din yung legs ko napapak na ng fleas

Thank you in advanced ladies!

For litter I would recommend Dr. Elseys.  This is the only brand we've stuck with for years now.  Tried Tidy Cats in the past, all different kinds but nothing beats Dr. Elseys.

[blackgreen]

^hi. Where do you buy Dr. Elseys?

[starf1sh]

We use Our Cat na brand, for me mas effective ito compared sa catsan mas nag buo talaga ang mga ihi mas madali linisin. Mas mura ang unscented. Recently nagamit namin ang may baby powder scent infairness mabango siya lalo na sa ihi ng pusa.

Where can i buy Our Cat na brand? i haven't seen this brand yet.

I already tried Tidy Cats, ok lang, sulit if you bought 1 sack. Right now i'm really liking Litter Purrfect bought at S&R, super ok, almost clean scent even with poops & pees, kaya lang medyo mahal but i think it can be used/maximized efficiently.

if your cat is nice and kind, you can try to make him/her swallow (the vet uses some sort of medical/surgical tong, if you have one much better). i just mix it with food, like put the medicine bits inside a fish tinapa. and make sure he/she finishes all the food.

flea "infestation".. i haven't experienced an infestation, but when i brought home my new cats, they had fleas and i had to bathe them with flea shampoo at least once or twice a week. and even manually pick the fleas out of their hair.

[xthine]

^hi. Where do you buy Dr. Elseys?

Usually Amazon.  Petsmart and Petco rarely.

[blackgreen]

^pwede yun sis dito sa Philippines?

sis do you remember the brand? may stray cats (2) kasi dibo sa bubong namin, binibigyan ko ng food kapag humihingi. i am pretty sure may worms siya gusto ko sana bigyan ng pang deworm. wala naman silang fleas/tick kasi hindi nagkakamot, ewan ko nga kung bakit may worms.

[blackgreen]

Ang daming fleas nung pusa ko. Di effective yun powder na nilalagay ko. Paano niyo natatanggal yun sa inyo? Dami ko na ng kalmot kasi nagwawala si Puti pag nilalagyan ko ng powder, what more pag pinaliguan ko na

[mama squeak!]

^I used to apply Frontline drops to my 19 cats (18 indoor cats / 1 outdoor sekyu cat).  Now I use the spray as needed na lang. Plus I also spray the areas kung saan sila madalas magtambay kasi madalas dun nagbabahay mga fleas
