The important things you must know for cats

Digging their poo(s) in the litter box or yelling at them over few scratches on the leather sofa has made me sorta a cats guru. I was so attached with them, they even had a proper funerals by us. So, here I would like to share some tips, hopefully in a way I can help you cats lover a bit.

Different cats have different preferences. Some love seafood, some love chicken flavour. But the basic thing you need in finding the right food for your cats;

a) Adakah akan menyebabkan rambut bulu gugur?
b) Adakah kucing anda suka?

Orang selalu kata IAMS is the best. Kucing suka, bulu cantik. I gave it a try. Both for kittens and adults. But one thing I don't like about IAMS: it always came with free gifts inside, the bugs! I don't know why maybe tak hygienic or maybe the biscuits itself attract bugs more than other brands. So one day after saya jumpa giuk (cacing) in it rasa macam eeuwwwww. Kucing aku makan pun kena the best okeh!

Baby's weaning period is around two months. Ingat dua bulan baru boleh kidnap dari mak bapak eh. The first one month usually the babies seem to be attached with the nips. There is no way you can take it from them but when you see the babies started to bite, introduced them with biscuits.

I gave them Royal Canin Baby Cat, suggestion from the vet.

And Pooja loves it more than her babies!

But of course they can't actually to chewing on them so its either;

1. Mix it with warm water
2. Mix it kitten's milk
3. Mix it with kitten's wet food

I choose the later one. Easier, tasty, mouth-watering. A perfect way to get them acquainted with their love of the life, FISH! But make sure you do not leave the food more than 15minutes or they might get diarrhea.

You can see that they started to chew the mom's nips (Aww that's hurt man) or sucking aggressively just because drinking milk alone is not enough and they're hungry! Depending on your kittens (and the Mom), weaning period would last up to two months. But Pooja still without fail bagi susu although they will be 4 months this end of month.

I just started giving them the adults food. Because it is hard to separate between the adult's and kitten's food.

We usually feed them with Royal Canin's. Expensive I know but I love my cats even more, they need a proper food. This 4kg bag usually lasted for two weeks.

They seem to like Fit 32 compared to others brand or flavour but now I am feeding them with Sensible just because they had soft stool and busuk. Its a sign digestion is not good there.

I tried few flavour. Hair & Skin, yack! They don't even like it! Indoor, tasteless. Persian, such a waste. Friskies, kucing saya vomit all. Smart Heart, green feces?? Sungguh vegetarian! Whiskas, diarrhea. Science Plan, tak kisah flavour apa memang kucing tak suka. IAMS, euw please jangan beli!

But again, depending on your cats. Look for any change when you start to change their diet. Stool, hair, frequency, amount. The obvious: stool and hair. Watery-feces or loss of hair, maybe it is time to change their diet.

Who likes taik kan? We'd been loyal to this brand when it comes with their cat litter. So far this is the best and I used lemon flavour now. I need it for the strong nosebleed smell.

It clumps pretty well as long as you did not accidentally smashed it on the floor. 10L/one big bag lasted for about five days depending on how frequent do I cleaned the litter box.

And some other tips;

• guna minyak masak yang sudah dipakai dan urut/sapu pada telinga berkurap sehingga baik
• guna minyak tanah, tuang sedikit pada kain dan lap pada kawasan yang prone kena kencing
• the duration of cat's pregnancy is 2 months. Start counting from the first mating season and be prepared.
• get some charcoal in hand. you don't know what they eat.
• check their nose regularly. watery wet nose is not a good sign.
• you can also check their temperature (no you don't need a thermometer) from their ears and gums. Kalau panas makanya demam.

Oh FYI I typed this entry originally on errr 19th Dec? Trust me, I had no time!

Saya ibu kucing

If you followed my Fb then you'll know betapa saya brag about our new cat's house, in the making. Its a huge cat's house attached to the old one.

Look, you might think it is easy to pet a cat but when you have a dozen with adults one, you will surely have to consider a bigger house for them. We did let them out during the day but when they started to pee on every nooks and corners, we closed all doors and windows except for those with manners we would let them in.

But no point ada pintu dan tingkap kalau ventilation takde kan? So about two months ago me and Mom discussed with Ah Liang the contractor to build a new one complete with a playground :) 6x7x8 feet. Weehooo. So we don't have to worry anymore.

But the new cat's house belum siap lagi. Sudah lah rumah lama punya jaring kena bukak, the cats has no place to tidur! So we had to let alllllllll of them inside for two nights! Hopefully boleh siap besok pasal I am tired of wiping kencing :(

Entri ini macam pointless lah. Ok fine good night.

ps: two of my Albums (jika anda peminat fanatik kucing saya sila tengok, mesti tengok!) (album ini akan diprivasikan tidak lama lagi so jika anda bukan teman Fb saya sila tengok puas2. tapi tidak perlu 'Save As' kot?) ;

The Flying Cats

The 3rd Generation

Wedding & Emma

I am twenty three going to four but never in my life I would thought of becoming an auntie! Kids still addressing me as *cough* kakak, at least I told them to. Haha. But I don't know why I am surrounded by babies! Baby's everywhere!

Please, not that I hate babies tapi saya tak pandai! Kittens saya pandai, ada sama?

There's quite a few of my friends yang dah proudly became a mom (and they have blogs too! Cool Mom) and ada yang dah dua tiga lagi. Adoi. Its either I am old or I am not cool enough. Aish.

Anyway, I was told Emma just delivered her second baby so I went and visit her. Ini emak otai. Bersalin anak macam takde perasaan. Haha. She hasn't decided yet on the name pasal they were told it was a girl sekali keluar, erk, okayh.

I don't know how to hold a baby so.....

Emma

& her first child, Amon.

This is Amon, three years ago.


I knowwwww...........right? Shaleen and baby, big NO NO!

Attended my junior's wedding, Nazwa. Nak tangkap dengan brides kena beratoq ye. Amek kau.

ps: sumpah lepas post ni kena makan something. perut mula berasid.

Kesian.

I'd abandon this blog!

Kesian.

Kesian.





Anyway, tadi pergi wedding Nazwa budak kecik punya wedding. You know she did the make up for my sister masa engagement dulu. And selepas itu singgah rumah Emma who just delivered her second baby, boy!!

Pictures later.

ps: delete aja lah blog ini. buleh?

Sampai hati...

I can't believe my own family would do such things like that!

How can my grandmother said that we didn't take care of our Dad well?
That we forced him to be a vegetarian and made him starved?
That we listened to Chinese traditions and not their's?
That we didn't do the proper treatment for him?

That she's the only one sedih with his son's death and not Mom's, the wife?

C'mon lah! And she insist on staying with us eventhough she used to hate us the most (another story I will share later), back then. How can??

Mummy: Mama nak pergi rumah Amaiyi Surah (Dad's sister, the only one left)? Abang nak pergi singgah hantar lauk. Mama ikut lah.
Mama: Tak nak lah! Buat apa?? *shook head dengan muncung tajam muka masam*

Ouh? Ok.

Shaleen: Mama tidur rumah Tata Bibah lama sikit lah.
Mama: Knape?
Shaleen: Ye lah kiteorang nak pergi Sabah kan. Nanti Mama sorang2 sini.
Mama: Knape? Abang semua tade ke?
Shaleen: Ada tapi nanti Mama sorang lah sini.
Mama: Tak pe lah. Mama duduk je lah sini.

Ok fine. Duduk sini jangan nak menangis complain kat orang kita tak jaga, ignore Mama heh. Fine semua nak kesian kat Mama pasal orang datang Mama nangis. Orang call Mama nangis. Ok fine.

Ok fine saya cucu mulut sangat jahat. Tak baik tak hormat orang tua. Tapi what she did, pfft. Mummy sabar je but I can't esp bila tahu what she told our maid. Sangat tak baik tau cakap macam tu! I almost confronting her tapi hey, dia nenek bukan?

Come here then you know.

We didn't speak the same language.
We didn't do all their traditions.
We didn't followed their ways or praying.
And saya tak masak kari hari hari ok!

Jiwa kosong

Four years ago, I gave my Dad this as a Father's Day gift.

And now, Mom's returning it back to me. To where it belongs :( in the first place.

Day by day, I was hoping that I could help my mom dealing with the pain of losing someone that she loved. But all those concrete-face shattered the moment Mom said "I miss your Dad...". I didn't know I am as fragile as she is.

Don't ask me what I'm going to do with my life. Frankly? I don't know! It's like half of me is gone when he's gone. Saya tak mahu kerja. Saya tak mahu sambung belajar. Let me be. I need some time off. Thank you.

Me and Mom are going to KK tomorrow. Got few things to do.

Fear of losing another..

Sorry for another silence :|

Mojo almost died few days back. Little did we know another kitten would die from poisoning, again. Such a traumatic experience, I don't even dare to take care of her back then. Sungguh takut terlampau attached sampai devastated habis when she died.

Tapi Alhamdulillah. Kena pray lagi banyak.

Imagine pupil fully dilated, wobbly, loss appetite, agressive, weak, insomnia (oh yes she didn't sleep for almost two days!) saya sungguh takut! Sampai Mummy had to pumped a few ml of air Zam Zam down her throat.

Thank God hari ini dia tidur. Itupun after saya 'dodoi'. Haha lawak gila pakai dodoi. Okeh bye nak turun. Saya ada anak kittens nak jaga. Diorang baru bangun tidur.

I love you!

Cats are amusing..... Really!

The kittens have to undergone a special exercise everyday which involves a lot of anaerobic power by the hot coaches. Me and Obe.

One morning, I was still in my PJ with morning breath, I let them out in the garden for a special training. I called it "Flying Cat!". Much to the old-longgar rubber of the shorts, I was caught red handed flashing in public, at my own house!

Of course you can't get the privileged to see (other than Obe who was the cameraman) . Damn Mojo.

A lil bit closer of Mojo.

Now we know where did they get this 'munyet gene's'.
