MummyBenny, you better kurung dia betul-betul, kalau dia escape getting pregnant during the last heat, she will continue to come into heat again in 2 or 3 weeks continuously until she gets pregnant. Even though you might have neutered Benny, she might escape for one night and come home inpregnated by stray males outside as well as pick up some diseases from them. Or even get infected from an inflicted wound (bite or scratch) from a rough male forcing himself on her. If she catches sporotrichosis, she will have to be put to sleep and can infect Benny.

But it is not her fault. She is wired and made that way by nature because she is not a human but an animal, so don't blame her and say she is 'gatal'. Anyway, it is not a refined word to use on the pretty little girl, quite crude actually!

thank you for your advise!!

MummyBenny, saya tahu jaga female cat tu daripada getting preggie tu memang susah betol. That is why saya kalau first dapat kucing tu, saya spay dulu dia, dan vaccinate kemudian. Saya tahu stengah vet kata vaccinate dulu, tapi ada juga vet yg berpendapat bahawa kalau kucing tu dalam jagaan kita tu tidak dilepaskan keluar untuk berkawan dengan kucing luar lain tu, dia tak ader risiko utk pick up penyakit mereka dalam masa tersebut, jadi tak payah lah rush tuk vaccinate sebab kalo vaccinate pun ianya akan ambik masa utk develop tahap resistance yang mencukupi utk memperolehi tahap perlindungan yg efektif.

Tapi kalo dia pick up penyakit sebelom di adopt, either dia akan sakit dan develop natural immunity kemudian, atau sakit dan mati atau jadi carrier, dan kalo cepat-cepat vaccinate pun tak akan cure dia punya penyakit tu. Buang duit dan stress kucing lak, kemudian tak dapat spay hingga berbulan-bulan, pastu stress takut dia preggie. Dan bila dah preggie, susah betol nak spay dia sebab dia akan menyusu dan kitten perlu kasih sayang ibu sehingga sekurang-kurangnya 2 bulan. Seksa betul.

Sebab tu, kalo dapat female, saya cepat-cepat check badan dia dan pastikan sihat tanpa penyakit dan deman dan terus spay dulu.

Good luck, kawan!

ooo cenggitu ... semua kucing sy mmg tak lepas keluar rumah. means diorg mmg 100% main dlm rumah a.k.a balkoni. ptg ptg je lepas diorg main kat padang dengan perhatian my mum, dad or sy sendiri. hehe... Mmg tak campur dgn stray.. lagipun our family tinggal kawasan bukan perumahan yg byk. takde stray cat pun.. huhu~~ harap2 Bella takkan mengandungkan anak sape sape la...

MummyBenny, jangan assume sebab anything can happen, kalo dia in heat, dia boleh sendiri lari, bila kucing lari, no matter jinak mcm mana tu, sometimes impossible untk tangkap dia.

So forget about those trips ke playground atau ke mana-mana jalan-jalan. Sebab tu ramai nangis sebab kucing hilang. Accidents always occur when the unexpected happens. Ramai forumers cerita bahawa kucing betina tu pandai cari loop hole keluar waktu malam atau tak ader orang (melalui tingkap tak tutup rapat, lubang kecil, etc) utk cari boyfriend bcos their brain is hardwired to do so, sama mcm animal escaping - they are very good at finding that weak link in the chain!

Also, don't think your danger level is low sebab tak ader stray in your area. ANY MALE (samada stray or orang punya) once they sniff your female cat in heat, they will be very determined to locate her and get at her!

Don't underestimate an animal in heat, in hunger, injured or in fear - the will is very, very strong!
