from my experience la, too much wet food - every meal also not good. esp if your cat is a bit on lazy side, to groom himself after meal. maybe the salt content is high? try to stop giving him wet food and only feed kibbles. or consult your vet?

thanks catalina.

i'm only going to the vet for the 2nd vaccine nxt month. till then, i just hope someone could help with the fur shedding issue. i'm worried sick la...

sorry about your plight. i cannot offer much advise as i'm no vet... hope the problem will cease soon...

or maybe he is just stressful? need to check the emotional side also

i dun think so...he's by far the happiest cat i've ever seen in my life, really. he plays a lot, he jumps and bounce here and there and understand when i get tired and retires right next to me in bed when i sleep at night. just last night, we had a fun game of hide and seek. very very smart kitty, he found me everytime and jumped on me! i think it's true what they say about domestic cats...they are very smart compared to some pedigree cats.

maybe i should try the vet shampoo.

maybe sometimes i can learn how to play hide and seek with my cats... usually we just cuddling or lying around.

is knight the only cat? maybe he need company of his own species.

but better check with the vet first, or do some research. the internet is a good start.

yea, catalina, i've thought about getting him a companion of some sort la to keep him company while i'm off at work or in college. but at the same time i don't want him to feel as though he has to compete for my attention. plus, another existing cat, according to my vet, will only make him start spraying to mark his territory.

for now, he's a perfect obedient kiddo who listens to everything i say. he doesn't leave home, and i can leave the window and the balcony door wide open when he's alone at home because he's scared of height, although i don't practice that often, just in case the little birdie outside catches his attention. but the fur thingy, really make me pening la...

hi lucy,

Great to know you are having so much fun with knight. Wah siap main menyorok2 lagi..

The best thing is to check his condition with vet. I also have that problem recently with louie. He just recover from his earlier sickness. He sheds alot of fur. Everytime he licks himself.. alot of fur come off. I check with my vet and after general chekup, no problem.

Vet said nothing to be alarmed as cats sometime sheds fur heavily once every year.. usually several days.. or a week.

As he is persian.. i just give him felixin to curb hairball. Now he's okay.. didt shed fur as much as before..

I hope it's only normal shedding.
