Hi kengkawan...something to share...

hari sabtu lepas...i nak kluar n tat time my car ada kat outside my house...masa i nak masuk dlm keta i prasan da satu kucing dikurung dlm sangka yg dah berkarat n diletakkan kat tepi tong sampah...masa tu ada few budak2 tgh kacau2 kucing tu....i pk jiran i ni nak jemur kucing ke o nak buang kucing...i dah tak sedap ati...i tak pi tgk pun kucing tu i trus panggil my mum..bila gi tgk dekat...rupa2nya dlm sangka tu ada mak kucing (kurus kering warna oren cam berbulan2 tak mkn) n 2 anak kucing (dlm 2 3 bulan warna oren n brown)...di letak kat tgh2 panas matahari...takde air n makanan (that time dah la tgh hari dlm kul 12..skrang kan musim panas terik..kita yg duk kat luar kejap pun bleh berpeluh n dahaga...bayangkan la apa rasa kucing tu dijemur tgh panas taktau dr kul brapa without air n makanan....tak kesian ke...takde prasaan langsung manusia ni)

i tak puas ati i tekan bell umah tu n maid dia kluar...i tanya...kucing ni mau buang ke? dia kata a'ah...i tanya nape...dia kata coz dah ada kucing lagi satu...i malas nak tanya byk2....i amik je kucing tu n masuk dlm umah...i tot nak simpan sementara je n nak give sapa2 yg berminat coz kat umah dah de 3 ekor..nak tambah lagi 3 ekor..sure byk cost nak pakai..tapi bila tgk anak2 kucing tu...so cute...hyper..menghiburkan...rasa cam serba salah n kesian lak nak bg org...lama gak la kitaorg pk nak simpan o bg org...at the end..kitaorg decide nak simpan...tapi mak dia kurus keringla...tak bertenaga n dah 5 thn...i dah bawak pergi vet...dh bg ubat deworm n mandikan...dr. kata badan diaorg bersih takde kutu n fur diorg cantik...tuk vaccin lak...dr. suruh perhatikan dulu n seminggu baru bawak blik..

semlm nak kluar terserempak dgn maid tu...dia tanya sangka dia tu da lagi ke tak..coz dia nak tuk kurungkan kucing lagi satu....i tanya la kucing tu cam mana...dia kata kucing tu sama la dgn anak kucing tu...tapi warna putih..kiranya mak kucing tu ada 3 anak kucing rupanya tapi jiran tu simpan satu...rasa kesiannya..anak kucing tu dipisahkan dgn mak dia..coz kitten yg da pd i tu kecik lagi n masih menyusu lagi...agaknya mcm mana la prasaan kitten tu...apa makanan dia bg pun tak tau la...sedangkan yg mak kucing tu pun dpt2 dah kurus kering...bleh rasa tulang dia...rasa cam nak je gi mintak kucing tu takut2 dibesarnya sama mcm mak kucing tu...ramai lagi org yg lagi pandai jaga kucing tu dr org tu...

n tis is wat happen to me masa i tgh cuti pjg...ada jugak manusia yg takde blah kesian n takde prasaan lansung..kalau tak nak sgt kucing tu..letakla tempat yg teduh n letak air n makanan skit...jgn seksa binatang...diorg pun mcm kita gak..ada prasaan n nak dibelai n dijaga bukan dibuang...



k..sampai situ je ceritanya...now i have few question n hope u all can share with me...

1) 4 cats n 2 kitten...usually how much does it cost to take care them? kira budget per month?

2) mak kucing ni dah 5 yrs...kena mandul kan gak ke walaupun i don't have male cat in the house?

3) if i dun have budget to take care all of them....can i give away the mother?will somebody want it? o ada tempat yg i bleh bg? (tp kesian lak nk pisahkan diorg..but kalau money problem mungkin kena wat gak kot)

4) can somebody share with me the experience of taking care of 5 yrs old female cat? the bad n good things? (coz my cat yg tua b4 this is only 1 yr)

5) i nak cut cost i bg the kitten makan proformance kitten....elok ke? o should i stick with RC? poo2 diorg busuk sgt2 n cair...ni krana food ke? my cat yg lama eats RC since kitten..

6) after vaccin diorg nanti..2 bulan kitten tu bleh campur dgn kucing2 lain tak? bahaya ke tak?coz badan diorg kecik banding dgn kucing2 yg sedia ada...takut kena buli lak...

Last but not least i hope org yg buang kucing tu esok lusa anak dia pulak buang dia kat mana2 bus stop bila dia dah tua nanti.

mulianya ati awk...


Last but not least i doakan org yg buang kucing tu esok lusa anak dia pulak buang dia kat mana2 bus stop bila dia dah tua nanti.

hmm biar padan ngan muka dia...buat baik dibalas baik,buat jahat dibalas jahat...

Thanks Suzy n Thundercats....

Suzy u ada kucing byk kan n mostly DSH kan? how u manage? what type of food u give? n mmg semua u akan anta 4 vaccin ke like yearly? deworm every 3 month? n bubuh ubat kutu brapa kerap lak? u mandikan diorg brapa kali dlm brapa minggu? u mandikan sekali gus ke o sorang2 u mandikan?

For me myself... usually i spend around below RM100 to take care all of my kits... RM46 for 7kg Smartheart RM30 for litter sand of balance to top up apa yg patut



Maka itu selalu keluar istilah prevention is better than cure... sebaiknya memang baik lah kalau ibu kucing tersebut di kasi...



Better u wait till the kits dah pandai makan sendiri... after that terpulang pada budi bicara anda utk tentukan samada nak keep ibu kucing tu terus atau memberi pada orang utk di adopt



Sama juga kaedah penjagaan kucing nie walau meningkat umur... sebaiknya beri lebih perhatian dan sama rata pada mereka nie



Proformance ekkk... i think that the best bcoz b4 i pindah kl i pun bagi makan all my kits makan proformance atas saranan my vet... only when i pindah kl tak tau mana nak dptkan proformance nie terus i stick with smartheart



Depend pada keadaan... u just can do an observation 1st n release them 1 by 1 utk test market pada kucing sedia ada... n if penerimaan baik leh biar terus diorang bergaul... if not kena take time n patience utk bagi diorang semua leh bercampur

Just my 2cents opinion... rasanya ramai lagi lebih pro ttg nie dan mungkin ada tambahan dari sahabat yg lain... good luck

Suzy u ada kucing byk kan n mostly DSH kan?
Yup.

how u manage?
what type of food u give?

I bagi Science Plan (free flow)-refill 2 times a day, Science Plan Hairball Control (1 week once). Frisian Can Food 3 times in a week.


n mmg semua u akan anta 4 vaccin ke like yearly?
Yup all my cats dah vaccination - yearly

deworm every 3 month?

6 months (Cat Fully Indoor) - kalau ada signs of worms than i will deworm all again in between the 6 mnts.


n bubuh ubat kutu brapa kerap lak?
Tak der kutu memang tak bubuh ubat kutu.
But there is a Frontline spray stand by for lice or new kittens and cats.

u mandikan diorg brapa kali dlm brapa minggu?
u mandikan sekali gus ke o sorang2 u mandikan?

ShortHair - Once A Month
Long Hair - Every 2 Weeks Once

On a average of 3-4cats in a week(depending on the cats)......kalau kitten senang sikit.
I mandikan seekor-seekor.......lapkan masuk dlm cage sementara tunggu turn utk hair dryer....
Unless on a Rainy Day i tak mandikan my cat and postponed it to another week.

My dear, don't ever give away Mommy cat kalau boleh, keep together, tak banyak beza in cost. Benefits outweigh by far: Mommy teach kids many,many things (life & survival skills, good behaviour, manners, cleaning, loving, mother's own milk to strengthen immunity, etc), not to mention bonding, from my experience with my 10 cats: 2 Moms, 6 kids, 1 Aunties, 1 Auntie's friend, 2 more orphaned kids. Actually, kalau spay/neuter before bond is broken at about 5/6 months, lagi best because U will observe the mother/child bond longer, very, very heartwarming indeed. I bagi RC, beli biggest pack, shop 4 best best price. In the end, tak lah much more than friskies/whiskers pun. Vaccination once a year, Drontal every 3/4 months (<RM5/tablet boleh dapat, kalau cari betul-betul), tak payah mandi pun cukup bersih, jangan bagi bergaul dengan kucing luar, especially at night. Use old newspapers 2 save $$ and healthier 4 U & cats, can manage efficiently even tho a little bit more work (actually a little more only, if U do it well). Keep all lah, tak lah ramai sangat, really. Vaccination pergi lah Klinik Haiwan: 2nd & subsequent cat dapat discount, lepas tu lagi got discount. There are ways to cut cost without forgoing quality. Good luck, my kind hearted fellow kitty lover!!!

Sori, tambah lagi ... , even tho I X pernah mandikan mereka (1 year oredi), vet confirm X ada kutu, mites, telinga very clean). I love to peluk & cium mereka .... , better than teddy bear bcos can feel body warmth, mmmmm..... , if lucky, U get jilat, jilat .....

tlg xplain lebih detail...tak brapa paham bab ni....



newspapers 4 what?



semua klinik bg mcm ni ke? so far i anta xdpt pun...bleh rekemen klinik mana2 tak yg paling murah n baik ati? area kl?

P/s: Thanks Suzy n Zorro 4 aswering my question...all the answer help me alot n clear my problem...

1) Mother/child bond: Biasanya Mama akan reject Baby bila dia cukup besar so that dia akan berdikari, especially kalau Mama dah pregnant semula. Kalau spay/neuter mereka bila Baby about 4/5 months sebelum rejection berlaku, Baby akan dapat continue bermanja tidur ketiak Mama, cuba hisap tetek Mama (tapi lepas spay tu, X ada susu lagi lah), Mama akan selalu jilat/groom Baby tanpa resentment daripada Baby even tho Baby sudah besar (kadang-kadang Baby saiz lebih besar daripada Mama ). Kalau bond tu dah X ada, mereka semacam kawan dan challenge one another for dominance (yang jilat tu kira dominant, so lepas seketika, dia akan jilat balik to exert dominance, so terjadi peraduan jilat-menjilat yang semakin laju sehingga they lash out at one another and stop. So dari pengalaman saya, selagi bond Mama/Baby tu unbroken, kita dapat peluang menyaksikan a huge grown up Baby yang masih bermanja diketiak Mama , tidur berpeluk, middle of the night, Mama keep jilat Baby. Also, bila Baby out of Mama's sight, she will scream panggil Baby, cari dia until Baby (sudah besar pon!) come running to Mama's sisi . Very syok to watch, better than TV!
2) Pasal ole newspaper tu, untuk poo-poo la!
3) Klinik kerajaan, Yang. Non-profit making. Bawa lebih daripada 1 akan untung. Tangkaplah 10 stray keliling umah, lagi untung! So, tangkap 100 ekor laaaagiii untung! (Sikit loya buruk here ...)

Anyway, kawan, God bless yr kind heart and good luck!
