Civet Cat Kitties & Kitties

Salam & hi to all....

i know they looked adorable...in fact they are :)

6 of my 3 weeks kitties and 3 of my 1 month civet kitties, all told, 9 'tails' (these photos were taken a week ago)

how could this be wrong? this is called the unconditional love....

i just wonder...can they mate once they grew older?

RECYCLE : CATS POOP SAND

Salam & hi to all,

how are you all been doing? i hope everybody is doing great :)

today i would like to share something which i guess might help us to be harmonious with the earth. pls dont throw any of your carton egg tray, news paper, carton boxes etc...you can recycle them into cats pee/poop sand :)

so the ITEMS :-

used egg paper tray carton



wood waste/sawdust. i got this a lot from a furniture factory near my house. i am sad that they burn the waste...how i wished i can take them all :(



THE STEPS

you can use tap water. sometimes i recycle the waste water which i used to mop the floor. hmm..but it is quite messy, so tap water is fine enough.



soak the egg paper tray carton. you can soak and leave it for a while and continue with your other work, like sweeping the floor, prepare breakfast etc...or you can do it before you go to bed and continue the work in the next morning. soak as to soften the paper, no minimum time (but not more than 24 hours or the smell would turn unpleasant)



put in the blender machine, and blend just for 3-4 seconds. (save electricity :)



pour in a tray or any container. i use a tray for demonstration purposes. isnt the tray nice?



squeeze it a bit not too hard. keep the 'moisture' state.



dont throw the excess water. put it back in the bowl to reuse/recycle again.



the sawdust in the tray



the portion by ratio sawdust to blended paper, 2:1, the more the better (i mean the sawdust)



mix them



you can put under the hot sun, until it is fully dried up and crispy dry. in my case i scoop and spread them out on the naturally heated exposed floor (outside the car porch area) to expedite the evaporation of the water. you can even put them in an airconditioned room as it would give the same effect as well (pls dont purposely switch the aircond on for this, save the electricity. use the heat from the sun instead)



i dont have the photo of them peeing or pooing, as you would know, its offensive, haha...anyway, all my cats love using it, and it helps to get rid the smelly odor in and outside my house (when they play outside). cats pee especially for those on processed cats food, is stinky smelly but using this poop sand formula would create a healthier air condition..you know, sometimes i feel like i were in the jungle with the smell of wood and other natural fragrance from the plants (poop box in my mini garden)

is this one of the way to show my love towards my cat? yes and not just that, giving them the recycled processed items proves that i love/concern of the earth and its inhabitant.

CAT'S PHYSIOTHERAPY- PART 2

Salam & hi to all,

its funny to see my hairy 'patient', Syifa' who was a bit nervous for the 2nd physiotherapy appointment haha...
as usual, to give the sensation to the feet paws, let the tap water flow on it for few seconds. he wasnt pleased with this, of course cats hate water (some do love it, they even can swim in a swimming pool, no kidding! you can check in the YOUTUBE).

wipe the wet fur.

for the legs exercise, support the chest, and pull the legs one by one, or you can do both at a time. notice that i pulled the legs towards me (backwards). pull and let go. do it few times.

still supporting the body, lift up a bit, and pull the legs downwards. this time his legs responded better than the previous physio.

hold both legs gently, and lift him upside down as shown in the photo. to calm him, try to support the head. let the gravity helps with the weight.

now put him back on the table, let him lie/lay down (argh..grammar problem!) on his back, straight. hold his head and hips gently.

gently press his hips to strengthen the legs and to stretch them out.

to exercise the paws. put 2 fingers tips, touching the paws as shown.

push forward. if he fights back or put out his nails, we know that the paw is healthy. do this several times to strengthen the paw muscles. (so that they can scratch their itchy ears haha ;)

next to carry this kitty like how mummy cats normally do. look at one of his legs :(

put on the table and do it again. observe the legs. a normal kitten would pull the legs completely and fold them to the tummy. my poor syifa' needs more exercise.

ok now the exercise for gripping.

let him there for few seconds, until he couldnt hold anymore. if he shows the respond to jump, let him jump....cats must have the guts to jump. i am happy that syifa' jumped (with poor landing from 8 inches of height, its ok to me as long as he is progressing)


after the hard work, give a gentle massage at the back, he loves this.

i know he is trying to adjust being in our circle. still a little bit fierce with the grrr....grrr...towards other cats. i dont blame him, the incident being bitten by the other male cat was surely one traumatic experience.

i took him to my other cats to say hi. its better if we teach him how to kiss the other 'siblings' haha...

as usual, praise and motivate him with kind and soothing words...just look at him. i think he feels calmer and relaxed.

actually after the first physio session, i saw him struggling to walk on the 4 legs. since his posterior body has not fully recovered, he fell many times. this tiny one is having high spirit, i never see him ever gives up in trying to walk.

everything happened for a reason and there is no coincidence. when we looked at each other's eyes, i think he is beginning to like me and loves the session (except the tap water). could he be carrying an important message? i guess i need to learn a lot from him and to ponder the lesson behind all this...
