I hate cats. Sorry if I sound cruel but the fact is I hate them. Well, a cat was always jumping into our compound and. I have been finding how to stop it without hurting it. Sad thing is that it gave birth in our compound and the babies can hide more than Osama.
One morning I perceived a foul smell and lo and behold there at a corner the mother was dead. We don't know the cause of it's death.

1. Should I sell off the babies
2. Or kill them

Here are some pics.
1st... the dead mother cat
2nd... a baby cat

hey!!
don't kill it, need one, inbox me on (frankjosephs@yahoo.com) so we talk on how to send it for me, where do you stay?

Deolaw

Mind you she hasnt eaten since morning,i saw her by 7pm.why was she hiding? I tot she ran away cos she was hungry.wasnt she hungry?

i quickly arranged eko agidi and palm oil for her.now she is roaming around,marking her new territory.

Help me praise the lord

lol...praise the lord!!!

its like this, you can keep the cat in one room of the house for like three to five days, with no noise and just visiting to give it food then later let it out of the room but still in the house...indoor cats are safer than outdoor cats(obviously..lol) , that way, your family is safe from unknown diseases from dumpsters and the likes, and the cat is also safe from fights, accidents and diseases too...

as you must have known, cats can be very independent animals so two cats in a house and they might not even have your time..lol...

have fun with your cats and please know what you want to do with the kittens when they arrive, a cat can give birth to about 8 kittens so you have to know what you want to do with them, i doubt you would want 8 cats roaming around your house...

I don't know why people think getting a foreign cat is better than a Nigerian cat. All my cats are all local Nigerian cats but they are all well taken care of and look good. To me cats are the easiest animals to have because they only need feeding and that's it. They take care of other things. I have cat litter that I put in certain places around the house so they can do their business and change it weekly.

I read somewhere that cat's scratches and bites can be dangerous, how true is this? Have you been in a situation where one of your cats bit or scratched you?

It's only dangerous if the cat is infected, but most cats aren't. As long as your cats don't eat rats and even if it does it has to have eaten an infected rat. Like I said I've had cats for about 25 years I have definitely been scratched a lot but never bitten. Nothing ever happened to me. And all my cats are strays cats.

How do you know when a cat is infected?

Any cure or treatment for the infection?

What are the precautions to take to avoid getting the cat infected?

Its funny how there are more guys here than girls...really cool

Well...like any other living thing...hygiene is of great importance...some ways to prevent infections include

FOOD- cats are known to eat small quantities but so many times in a day...now its your job to make sure the food does not get spoilt or stale in the plate...it can start harbouring germs that can infect your cat...also..water...cats would not drink any kind of water...they are very picky...so always make sure there is fresh clean water in their bowls at all times...

ENVIRONMENT- its no news that indoor cats are less likely to be infected by outdoor cats...so you can limit your cats movement and make sure the home is clean..

SANDBOX- please ALWAYS ensure your cat has access to clean sand .... Change the sand as often as you can...i used to change mine everyday (*whispers* I used to take sand from the construction sites near my house..lol) but you could buy scented sand at shoprite et al.

Finally, take your cats to the vet(I personally did not need that)..although most vets have a thing against cats(I stand to be corrected)

I NEED A NEW CAT,any one willing to sell or give up for adoption

i can see you need a cat badly and wish I could help but i just have two cats

if you stay in Nigeria, go to the market and go down to the section where they sell herbs and local medicine. you will surely get it and if they don't have,, talk to the seller. collect their number and book it down

you can also ask peeps with cats in your hood to give you

otherwise, you have to go to the bush to hunt a Hot cat roaming around at night

my 2mth old kitten will never bury his poo or go outside to poo.how can i fix this?can i get the cat litter in shoprite?

Yes you can get cat litter sand in any shoprite store. Here in Abuja , the 5kg goes for 700#.

Just get a plastic box and put the sand in it. Take your cat to the box filled with the litter sand . That's all. The cat will do the rest.

The only problem I have with my cat is that it selects food. I give my cat only raw meat.

i got the litter at shoprite

about giving your cat raw meat.i read it online that its not good.is your cat a foreign breed?

please google it out to confirm

blasiangurl85:


Yeah it's ok to give him anything he wants as long as he's fine eating it. But just be careful that he doesn't become an irritating beggar. You need to teach him from now to sit quietly or from a distance while you are eating because as he grows older he will start to demand for food while you are eating and even jump on the table to get food from your plate. If it's ok with you then it's fine but if you have guests around that can be very annoying.

You don't have to put it in a cage. He would choose a sleeping /hiding place or he can also sleep on your bed (romantic)

yeah, sure....tho not anytime soon
