My favorite cat youtube cartoon!

The creator of Simon's cat is seriously creative. All his effort to study, research and understand the cat behavior really shows. It is truly like watching my own cat and reminded of how he acted as a cat or kitten. And that is so cute :)






Enjoy!!

When Your Cat Can't Stop Scratching

Does your cat scratch a lot? Or your cats over-groom for more than hygiene which can result in injury from excessive licking, biting, and results bald patches or redness to the skin. Have your vet check for dermatological problems or parasites first, as all these need to be treated. Skin infection (fungus), lice, fleas and ticks can be a reason. 

Skin infection (fungus),
Usually if you bring them to the vet, the vet will examine and screening you cat using UV light. From UV, you can see the a glowing green spot (protein) at the skin which indicate the fungus existence. Some medicated shampoo routine will be advised and medicated cream or solution to apply to treat fungus. I use Malaseb Shampoo and NaturalPet antifungal lotion.
Flea, ticks and lice:
You can check your cat at home by yourself. Screening over the furs and you can find a dirt like black dots or reds one or “moving” dandruff between the skin. For white coat cat, it may easy to see but for colored fur, you may take a damp white cloth and wipe on you cat coat. You may see the black or red dot. That is your enemies. I’m using Frontliner Spray and Spot on. It’s promising and effective.  

Controlling an Outbreak:
The eggs or spores can be transferred from a pet to anything in your house like carpets and household furniture. It is recommended which you also treat the home and check out other animals. Vacuum cleaning, disinfect the house and cages will do. I use Petdiatric Black Series to disinfect.  Bear in your mind, there could be an issue of excessive stress. If your cat is grooming too much because of stress, such as a change in routine or a new animal in the house, you can take steps to ease the problem.

Good Luck!

Play Time~

All cats love the feather teaser. I keep on buying the new one every 2 month because it wont last so long.  I never tire watching them play and do their thing. Each of them has a different personality and style.  This time I want to introduce my kids toys: If  they are not sleep or busy destroying my toilet paper and magazines and messing our home, they must be busy playing with their toys.




First one is ToyToy. We get it from Pets Wonderland since Chika complain he need friend for his brain development. Chika loves to ask me to play with ToyToy: The Catch me game. He will jump over the couch and coffee table untill he out of his breath and start to make a funny sound. When Chika was a kitten, he used to do back flips trying to get at ToyToy. Sometimes he can play with ToyToy alone!! After playing "Catch me", He will bite and parade with ToyToy in his mouth around the house and bragging his success! Even when ToyToy's body parts is now a part, Chika still in love with ToyToy!!After drooling around with ToyToy he will groom ToyToy as he grooms himself.


Pinka on the other hand is a bad toy! This fish-shape pillow always manipulate Chippy and Chumy to be in the carrier for Vet visit. 


Pinka always use her Catnip perfume and manipulate Chippy and Chummy but wont stop them to chase after a laser pointer.  If there's one toy cats never seem to tire of, it must be a laser pointer.

And then we have ShhhShhh and Blackie where we brought back from Ikea. Both are meant for Choco.


Everyone know Choco will play rough and bite us like a pugs! So ShhhShhh and Blackie is our victim to protect our finger from Choco's teeth! Sorry guys. Its really effective during the grooming session.




Amarise love to play with a ping pong balls and she never seem to get tired of playing. I make sure they always have something new and challenging to play with. Cat toys don't cost a lot, so reward and challenge your Cat with something new to play! Now I have to buy some toy for Cottilion since she keep stealing others toy and messing with my small garden!
Hmmm.. Any ideas??
