    Rubber Brushes

    I saw the Zoom Groom at a local petstore several days ago and it costs RM27 (approx. US$7) here. To me, that's quite expensive for a rubber brush :o) Especially since I can obtain an alternative which looks similar to Zoom and have 5 more rubber bristles. It's flexible and Pixii seems to like...

    Bringing home a new kitty :o)

    The kitten turned out to be a male and I couldn't bring him home as he had some further complications. When I went to the vet's office yesterday, we discovered that he may have ringworms as well as some other health concerns. The vet told me that it's best if I don't adopt the little fella but...

    Bringing home a new kitty :o)

    I'll be introducing a new kitten to Pixii later today. My vet called up to inform me that someone left a kitten at the back of his office and she has been checked, vaccinated and dewormed already. He knew I was looking around for a companion for Pixii and thought that this would be a good...

    Kitty Litters....?

    I'm using the silica pearls type and I do quite like it. It's amazing at absorbing moisture. It also dries up poo nicely which helps reduce odours. One bag lasts approximately one month. My friend uses the same type for her 2 cats and they share a litter box. She was telling me a bag lasts...

    Rabbit question!

    The life expectancy for a domestic bunny is approximately 7 - 11 years. I believe what your boss has is one of those cute little lops

    How do I get the cat to sit still???

    I've been trying my best to brush Pixie's hair (she's a Persian-mix) with a small round-tip wooden brush. She just cannot sit still while I comb her. Her hair has little knots on the rear and the underside. I've only managed to snip two, tiny matted lumps so far. I've tried using treats and...

    Getting very discouraged

    Don't give up hope. I once watched a documentary on this cat who went missing for 3 months and showed up at the owners doorstep. It was about this family and their 4 cats. The parents had to move away from their home but their two kids stayed behind as they were entering into a local college. So...

    Question on canned food...

    Hissy... that's a beautiful kitty. Thanks for posting the pic I purchased a can of Iams for kittens and Pixie loved it. Think I'll be feeding her some wet foods as treats from now on. She loves chicken broth too... I gave her some yesterday and she lapped everything up. With regards to...

    Question on canned food...

    Thanks for the advise. Angelz... I'm located in Malaysia so unfortunately, many other brands are not available here. I'll definitely keep a look out for meat by-products and sodium nitrate. I was just thinking of adding canned/wet foods as treats so that she has a better variety of stuff to eat...

    Thanks for the compliments, ladies I use 'miispiggie' as my online nic for all boards/sites I join. It was inspired by my love for guinea pigs. I'm still very much attached to them and this is the first time in 3 years that I've decided to stop rescuing piggies and that my apartment is...

    Question on canned food...

    Thanks for your reply. I'm pretty certain Purina makes canned food... think it's under their Pro Plan range. I had a glance through in the cat food section and although the selection was rather overwhelming, I did not see the brands mentioned in your post The ones I spotted are : Eagle Pack...

    Question on canned food...

    I was thinking of adding a veritable diet of wet and dry food. Currently, Pixie is fed solely on dry cat food (Eagle Pack for now but I'll probably be switching to Royal Canin) and she seems to like it well enough. My fiance and I give her kitty treats too. Would it be all right if we add high...

    It's so nice to place a face to the person behind the posts. So, I thought I'll contribute too. Here's a pic of my fiance and I. We are getting married (legally registered) mid this year and would be having the official wedding ceremony in 2 years time (traditional Chinese weddings are huge and...

    This is going to sound silly...

    I don't think she's nervous... she just stretches out and lets me pet her. She loves lying next to me when I'm laying flat on the couch. She sometimes even proceeds to sleep! My fiance and I are completely in love with her and I think we are spoiling her a little. She has her own room at the...

    This is going to sound silly...

    but what does purring sound like? I'm a first time cat owner and have a beautiful kitty who makes strange 'motor' like noises whenever we pet her. It sounds like something vibrating in her! It's not loud but noticeable when I put my ear close to her. Is that purring? I'm just a little worried...

    Greetings from Malaysia!

    Hi flimflam! I'm in KL too. Yep, yep it's a nice place and improving. The weather has been quite enjoyable too. Windy patches with dry sun... like the beach side :o) I just found out that my little kitty is only 3 months old and she's a Persian-mix. I thought she was older because she seems...

    Greetings from Malaysia!

    Hi all, I'm a newbie here as well as being a cat owner. I was given a kitty that is approximately a year old and she's beautiful. She's now an apartment cat and is extremely good mannered. Thank goodness she knows how to use the litter tray I'll be bringing her for a vet visit in a few days...
