[blackgreen]

Ayun lang sis. Di ko alam kung mattrain pa ba yun pusa ko eh mag 2 years old na yun, pero lately napansin ko hindi na siya sa cat litter nag wiwi. Pag naka open door ng CR namin, dun sa drain.

@whitelady
true sis!! di talaga mahilig yung cat sa scratch post..THANK GOD I didn't buy the 3k na scratchpost..I bought the cheap one na 200+ ata..the one you hang lang.. none of the cats would scratch it!! ughh

noon we got a box from the printer ata yun.. enjoy2 ang mga kitties sa box, they were trying to fight over it.. and wasak na yung box rin..sirang sira sa scratches.

I need to buy boxes pa more.. haha

Anyone know where to buy cheap WET cat food? The Whiskas ones (purple can) are okay, I'm just looking for cheaper wet alternatives

Just got a BPA free pet fountain with feeder and a night light.  Can't wait for the kiddos to try it out.

[minatay91]

^ nice! was just googling that, where did you buy sis?

First time cat owner here, my kitty is 3 months old is it safe to give her milk? if yes, which brand? I feed her Harvey Fresh lactose free milk from the grocery - but been reading that cow's milk is bad for the kitty... so far no diarrhea naman and she enjoys it.

[krabby_patty]

@dramaqueen Are you using Cosi Lactose Free Pet's Milk? It's also made by Harvey Fresh. P104 available at Pet Express. Safe naman siguro as long as it's lactose free, but best to ask the vet.

Finally tried silica litter for my cat. I read somewhere that not all cats like this because the granules hurt their paws. It was ok, mas matipid since when you scoop it out, konti lang ang sumasama na granules. And it really dehydrates the feces. The thing is, I was expecting it to last more than 2 weeks because according to the instructions, 1 bag daw is good for 1 month na per cat. It only lasted 1.5 weeks for my cat Not sure if nasira ang absorbency since naparami ako ng lagay ng baking soda.

Well, it's a good thing mahal pa nila yun scratching post. Wala pang 100 bili ko dun.  Try mo rin ang paperbags. Good thing every time I shop, paperbags na ang  binibigay.

^ thanks sa tip sis!
I think mahilig yung mga cats ng plastic bag rin..yung noisy plastic bags sa grocery..yun super favorite nila o.O

mahilig rin mag.play yung mga cats ko sa "glass marble" ..I dont know what they're really called..but parang yung mga unbreakable glass marbles na sound talaga if magbounce..

Hi Sis Krabby I bought Cosi pet milk na thanks for the suggestion

I want our kitty to sleep with us sa room but she keeps waking me up in the middle of the night, she walks all over me and nakikipag nose to nose while its cute, its hard for me to get back to sleep. Paano kaya ito? I dont want my kitty sleeping outside

[krabby_patty]

^ happy to help

Hi sisses. New cat owner here. I just got my furball (2mos old) last Sunday. I'm just worried kase he seldom drinks water...and nahihirapan sya mag-poop dahil dun. Is there a way para ma-entice sya to drink more para hindi na sya mahirapan mag-poop?

[minatay91]

^ fountain sis..or moving water..
kahit dripping faucet sis mas prefer sa cat.

avoid putting the water bowl near the food rin sa cat. (cats think it's dirty)

pwede rin na if you feed your cats sardines, dagdagin mo ng water yung "tomato sauce" niya hehe.. thats what i do hehe

[blackgreen]

^ah kaya pala sis. Yun cat ko ayaw uminom dun sa lalagyan noya ng tubig. Gusto niya pang dun pumunta sa timba sa cr or sa palanggana namin sa lababo.

parang kakaiba yan sa 2-month old na kitten. sa experience ko sa kittens, malakas pa sila uminom ng water (di tulad ng adults), marami at soft ang poop nila kahit hindi na nagbe-breastfeed. siguro consult your vet? do you feed him/her dry food? try mo yung nasabi sa itaas na COSI milk, at that age gusto pa nila yang milk. change water at least twice a day. o kaya baka naninibago lang siya talaga sa environment?

baka alam mo na ito, pero i'll mention na rin. as far as i know for kittens below 6 months, kung papakainin ng dry food dapat pinalambot muna siya sa tubig.

[Raserei]

@minatay91, possible na dahil magkatabi yung water and food nya kaya hindi sya umiinom...sige I'll try that.

@quinone, yun din eh. Akala ko dahil super hyper nya kakatakbo and laro eh mauuhaw sya madalas kaso na-alarm ako kase halos hindi nya nagagalaw yung water. Sana naninibago lang sa environment. I also read other websites about it. It seems like kelangan din i-factor yung lalagyan ng water, meron daw ibang cats who like glass bowls over stainless or plastic ones kaya i bought one yesterday..pati ceramic na din. Napansin ko mas umiinom na sya sa glass bowl but we'll see. Saan ba merong COSI milk? wala kase akong makita na ganon sa mga pet shops na napuntahan ko.

[quinone]

^basta ask mo lang, malamang meron sila di mo lang napapansin masyado na milk pala yun. sa grocery meron rin.

[Raserei]

^ got it. thanks sis quinone. Hanap ako. 

[dramaqueen]

My kitty who's less than 2 months old (bigay lang to samin) mababa ang white blood cell count. Yesterday palang I noticed he was super weak, wont eat, wont drink water or milk and cant even walk properly - he keeps stumbling. My folks brought kitty to the vet this morning most probably its feline leukemia daw and kitty is super weak wala na daw magagawa support nalang. Feeling really depressed right now  I had a vision of kitty having a family one day and hearing the vet say wala ng magagawa shattered me. Now I'm wondering if I should bring kitty home or iwan sya sa vet.. Sigh

[blackgreen]

^sorry to hear that sis. *hugs*

[dramaqueen]

^ thanks sis. Left my "bunso" na sa vet. Pina confine ko na. All vitals are normal except for wbc. Nakadextrose (sa likod kasi her other veins are too small) and he was given supplements and vitamins to make his immune system strong daw. He is barely 8 weeks old. He needs to be strong daw according sa vet kasi that's the only way he can fight off the virus. Sa ngayon very critical condition, bunso is lying down sideways the whole day. Per experience, it takes 3 days daw before they see any improvements so I'm hoping by Monday bunso will be better... Sana kayanin SIGH! Nakakahawa din pala yun. Now im wondering if I should get my other kitty tested, although vet said wag na kasi complete na vaccinations nung isa.

Anyone had this experience with their kitties?
