Kitty's Massage Time!!

You will sometimes see cats knead on the ground, comforter, pillows or sofa in front of them. This kneading is a pushing action which many of them have done since they were babies fighting for mom's milk. It is the easy motion the place where a kitty alternates pressing lower on a single foot after which another, switching backwards and forwards.

The kneading motion with the forepaws is often done when the cat is in a pleased or in a happy mood. The behavior is also called milk-treading, paddling or making biscuits! It's their way of expressing love and affection. My cats get glassy-eyed and knead something soft when they get sleepy. My cats like to do it on my stomach too! My cat Chummy is the Queen of kneaders. Check out this video!

The main objective was to record the kneading. But, Amarise thought it's not cute.
(Chummy unhurt, dont worry :)

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??

At least twice per week!!

We have a tight schedulle every day. Working from 9 to 6 in the office, and back home we only have about less than 15 hours to clean the house, take a bath, rest, social networking, do other housework or officework perhaps?   .. and then sleep. Thats why we schedulle to comb and brushing our cat twice a week. And we brush and comb them by pair every time. Thats mean we brush our cats daily!!


Chippy is tired after a grooming session :)
Combing and brushing them is especially the longhaired one actually required a daily routine. This is to prevent matted and its also help you to bond with your cats. Its the only quality time we had during weekdays. All my cats is highly tolerate during the brushing and combing session. Some of them even purring during the session. If we start the routine since kitten, they will get used to it :)

As a rule, only semi-long and longhaired cats will get mats, but sometimes a shorthaired cat with an extremely dense coat is may face the same problem too. Cats with long hair tend to have a very thin outer layer of skin and cutting out a mat of fur can cause a really nasty injury. Even a small nick can split the skin and create a gaping hole.
When combing longhaired cats you can use a wide toothed comb followed by a fine tooth comb. Shorthaired cats should be combed with a short toothed comb or a rubber brush. This will make the combing easier and more pleasant for your cat. We have like 6 different comb and brush for different purpose.  For Longhaired cat, take the end of the wide toothed comb and start picking at the mat gently. You will notice that the hair starts to loosen after awhile. Remember to be gentle and patient. Pain will trigger aggression in a cat who will associate grooming sessions with torture.

Begin the session with play, and then gradually comb the areas that don't seem to bother your cat. If the cat starts to misbehave, stop the session and continue combing only when the cat is calm and rested. Try to avoid pulling the mat.
It is quite important to note that some long haired cats such as Persians have what is known as an undercoat as well as their top coat, so you must comb this as well to prevent the fur becoming matted. Do not comb your cat when they are wet! Dry them first before the session. Last but not least ; Be gentle and Be patient~

Yummy!! Feeding time!!

Do you choose the food for your pet or they choose their food from you? We always want the best for our pets. Be it food, toys, vet, everything. But it's all depending to what one can afford and what your pets loves~

I am so lucky that all my cats are not fussy when it comes to food. They will just eat happily whatever I feed them. Let me tell you about my cat-sitting experience. Miko, an exotic shorthair adult cat of my friends. He is so fussy. He only eat a freshly canned-out kibbles of very specific brand and flavour. He wont eat the leftover kibbles and he eats so little. Thats make him skinny. At first I thought he is stressful but it turns out he' just being a fussy brat~
I feed my monsters with the brand that I trust. When they are first handed to me they were only 6-7 weeks old and only drinks cat's formulated milk until they reach 2.5 months old. When they are able to eat by themself, I feeds them with IAMS kitten. Actually before I feeds with IAMS, I have tried some brands that were suggested by my friends. But I noticed that they were both having diarrhea. Not only after I changed to IAMS, that they turned out fine healthy and happy. They both gained about 40% of body mass when they are around 3 months! Now we mix with Royal Canine Fit 32 and they loving it!
Other than feeding them with kibbles We also treat them sometime with EVO canned food. Its high with protien for muscle development, as supplementaries I'm giving them multi mineral & vitamin paste daily, hairball control paste, as well as supplement for healthy coat. Their favorite: Greenies!!!
Besides all that, I feed them with boiled chicken too! They love it!!! and easy!! Just sliced the chicken meat into a small cube, add water and boil it until it turns white. Serve the chicken meat together with its stock and some bones! they love to lick it!! You can always try red meat too. But if you know about BARF, it will make your life easier and your pets healthier. I will tell you about BARF in the next entry.
Recently, my dear Choco started to eat non stop! I'm planing to change her diet to low protein kibbles or else wise she will turn into an obese cat~
