Kitten
 

I have found a kitten and i am not sure how old izit, :p

He is having diarhea problem, i am feeding him Snappy tom and he been perging. Could any pls advice me how to take care of the kitten, what to give him eat and etc. 10q in advance. If possible reply to my email add lil_heart79@yahoo.com :rolleyes:

Hi Lil,
welcome to the forum. well, i guessed that little kitty's tummy not used with Snappy Tom. Perhaps u cud feed him lesser amt than the usual n if he is still purging, u cud switch to dry food such as Friskies or Whiskas. or u cud give him boil chicken meat or kembung as well... :cool:

10q very much wink wink........................... and can i jus put normal pasir for him 2 go for the loo? instead of special pasir? I under budget! :p

well... if u r under budget, u can put a few pages of newspaper in a pan so that it can absorb a bit of the urine n shred some newspaper as well n put in it... :cool:

Yes horatio r right, u might v to change cats food 4 yr kitten. but don straight away gave it new food, wht i do is, mix half new food n half old food 4 the kitten, after abt a week than u give it all new food. cos this way the kitten digestive system will not be upset with new food. n u need to c n smell (kalau bolehlah) the stool if it smell normal...i mean if it smell like ikan mati...than it might b yr kitten kena virus. best way is bring to vet. n if u r feeding yr kitten with milk, better stop, cos most kitten wil ve diarhea. anyway...pls advise me, any1...if i am wrong...tq.

ling fiy,

You are right. From what I read, cats are lactose intolerent - the milk drank by cats wouldn't be able to digest properly as milk contain lactose. Thus, the cat might get diarrhoea. Contrary to popular believe, milk is not good for cat. They love milk and dairy products though. I guess you could give our feline friends a lil' bit of milk and cheese but in small amount, as treats. My Kitty just loves cheese but I only give her bits (1/8 of a piece of sliced Kraft or Chesdale) when she'd done something good (like endured a dreaded bath!) :)

man, smelling the poo :eek: ... i think i wud pass that. anyway, when i scooped the faeces, i will try to hold my breath as long as i can. anyway again, u need not smell it, u can actually see it. shud it is... (i know... it is going to be gross) like lembik2, then ur cat wud hv digestive problem / diarrhoea. :cool:


yeah, when i 1st hv Wesley, i gave him milk n he loves it. hey, i always see on tv but when i started to read books on cats, i did not give him milk anymore even up to today coz it will upset his stomach. Not all cats hv this problem but most do.

Casper loves cheese n whenever i had cheese sandwich he wud sit in front of me n meow. i wud give him a very tiny bit n he wud hv to satisfy on that. never give him too much. :cool:

ya beekgurl n horatio i read in books 2 n didnt dare to give any of my cats milk, so r all the breeder i come to know, they discourage it. but they also say cheese r gd 4 cats n they love it but in small amt....n cat book says, the breeder in the westren country they feed their cat with butter 2, cos cat lost fats fast...mayb due to the cool weather,,,,n the bast thg is, they feed the cats with raw meat sometimes...it suppose to make the fur more shiny n fluffy n soft n the cat grow bigger...but 4 our country i guess we don do tht cos is summer 365 here, n the raw eat might v bacteria oh....any comment?
