Re: Kitten in Cyberjaya Needs Help
My hubby doesn't like me having cats too, but I brain-washed him ... hehehehe
I know how you feel ... not too many months ago, there was a stray meowmmy cat behind my house who had many kittens. She then died in an accident, her kittens came to me for shelter, I ignored them, because my hubby didn't like the idea of having a cat/cats at home.
Then, Lulu came along ...
Lulu somehow changed my hubby ...
The family then grew, Tiger, Onion, Garlic, Ginger ...
More furry friends came, Sweetie, "Meow Kung" Cili, Barley, Parsley, Curry ...
One day, my hubby said to me, "Why was I so cruel not to let you bring in Nana's (that's what I call Sweetie's meowmmy) kittens?" He regretted his action. Sweetie is the sole survivor of the Nana's litter. Someone must have taken care of her when she is little but dumped her when she got pregnant .... sad isn't it?
"Meow Kung", means "kucing jantan" is the male cat behind my house with a collar. Not sure if he is abandoned or a runaway but he and Sweetie are always here for food....
I can't bring "Sweetie" in, I know Lulu will Q@!#@ her...

Re: Kitten in Cyberjaya Needs Help
Thanks for sharing your story, Bina. Poor Nana's kittens. I know how you must be wishing you could bring Sweetie in to give her shelter. If I could, I would have gladly taken Sweetie and her kids from you.
Lulu must be a miracle. Maybe I should borrow her for a while to change my hubby.
But in a way, my hubby has shown some limited concern for hungry stray cats. But there's only so much he is willing to help. Before Blackie, he wouldn't allow me to be near a cat. He was also angry whenever he came home and saw me playing with Blackie's mother outside our home. He used to ignore Blackie until he was nearly 1 year old.
It began with Blackie curling himself around his foot whenever he came home, and refusing to let go even when hubby tried to shake him off, which he did initially. (remember the pic I posted of Blackie hanging on to my hubby's foot?) And every morning, Blackie would sit with him on the sofa, reading the newspapers together.
Maybe, hopefully, one day he'll be like your hubby, totally turned around.

hi june, yup they're being fostered now! i went to round them up last night from gasing area in pj at the lady's house. it took soooo long. i wasn't told that the mother cat is completely feral and terrified of people.. the kittens were super easy to collect coz they're only two weeks old at the most.. i don't see how anyone could find such tiny infants a nuisance but well, go figure..
then my boyfriend and i drove to shah alam to meet the fosterer at the tesco parking lot. the mother cat went bonkers when we tried to move her from my carrier to the fosterers' carrier.. so we just let her loose in the fosterers' car until she calmed down.. now i'm waiting for an update from the fosterer.. hopefully mother cat has lost some of her fear and realizes that no one wants to hurt her. my worry is that its possible she was mistreated while she was at the other lady's house because they didn't want her there..
my friend that works at klinik kembiri found me the fosterer. this cat family is sooo cute. the mother cat is an orange mackerel tabby and guess what? all four of her kittens are orange tabbies as well!! they all look healthy.

Blackie, tell you a secret (based on experiences I have seen) ... God is working on your hubby's heart ... softening it and opening his eyes ... encourage (but don't over do, nanti backfire!) your hubby by playing on the kesian part, asking from time to time how is the kitty ... hopefully your hubby will start to BOND with the kitty slowly ... pray and hope, friend, pray hard!

The mother cat and her very young kittens are a great challenge to foster and the fosterers need to be very knowledgeable about cat behaviour.
Taking into consideration the senario and the nature of the mom cat (any mom cat for that matter, and this mom cat is a great challenge based on my own experience with domesticating my own completely feral and completely fearful and distrustful of humans), I offer the only solution which must be applied very strictly to the letter!
The mom cat and her kittens must be put in a big adult sized 3-tier cage set up the way I published in a previous post and MUST BE CONFINED COMPLETELY AND NEVER LET OUT EVEN FOR A SECOND FOR AT LEAST 2 COMPLETE MONTHS IN THE NEW ENVIRONMENT!
Transfering carriers as you guys did was a HUGE risk, thank God the cat didn't escape and you guys didn't suffer bites and scratches should the cat be spooked suddenly by some loud sound or happening in the very public area.

don't worry june. the fosterer struck me as very kind and patient. she didn't freak out or mind at all that mother cat was loose in her car. mother cat had tipped the bowl of canned cat food i set out for her all over herself.. she stank and she was dirty and all these little bits of fish were smeared around the car's interior.. the fosterer was totally ok throughout

Filin's house is not suitable, she is having a kutu problem and her kitten is sick right now. Fillin, you need to de-flee all your cats and the stuff in your house, including your clothes and beddings if they are allowed free romp of your house. All your cats need to be treated by a good vet. But be very careful with Frontline and other poisons you are using if you have kittens less than 3 months old. Some poisons cannot be used when your kittens are less than 6 months old. Some can trigger hyperthyroidism in the cats when they are older and you end up with an extra set of problems.

Who says your new place is not a problem? It is not the building itself but all your barang-barang including furniture, boxes, clothes, etc, etc, including yourself and your car which can act as a transfer agent for those pests to infect your new place.
Do read up on the internet on how to disinfect and clean your whole premises and yourself can care for your cats and prevent re-occurance because when you do it this way, you can surf the internet as questions pop up in your mind and you learn faster this way. You can find out about anything on your own on the internet, including the X-rated stuff!
Pour Frontline into washing machine? Think, Filin ... what happens when you do that? Sit down and thiiiiiiiiink .... what happens to the concentration and effectiveness of the Frontline solution? Do you ever need to dilute it for use? What does the instructions on the bottle say about how to apply or use it to kill the pests? Go to Frontline manufacturer website to read more.

Re: Kitten in Cyberjaya Needs Help
Furkid,
Thanks so much for your encouraging words. Really appreciate your wise words. Yes, I do believe that hubby's is slowly opening up, but it's so slowwwwww!!!! I will certainly continue to ask him if the kitty has come back. To him, the kitty is safe now, in a place where there are humans. To him, humans = food for kitty. He doesn't think the kitty needs more than that. *sigh*
Lynie,
I'm so glad you found a fosterer for the mother cat and kittens. Sounds to me like the fosterer is a kind lady. Hope the mother cat and kitties will happily forever with the family.
June,
Hahaa....I can imagine you striking fear into the hearts of those you come across..........the Italian Godmother, the female Al Pacino.....muahahahha!!!!

The little sweetheart craves for love and affection and need them in order to grow emotionally, just like us humans. But the little kitty cannot be allowed to wander around like that, it is simply too dangerous, there are cars and dogs, and there are evil humans to give it a kick like a football.
