ntu slacker SG

yoyo...
whatever happened to your kitty?

i hope you have kept it as well as your sanity Mr. Green

MooKu SG

Sowwy man.. somehow I missed this topic, didn't see it Embarassed

Ah the kitty is nice and strong now. It has grown pretty attached to me, despite cats being fickle-minded creatures. It goes whereever I go, even when the front door is open for it to roam freely and play outside. Mr. Green

But it's a little naughty because it likes to chew on my clothes whenever I put it into my lap. Rolling Eyes

Gonna bring it for sterilization soon. Smile

the Bear SG

ahh.. remember to get your kitten all its shots yah?

seems that cats have a parasite that will affect human brains.. scary..

but i like cats Smile

MooKu SG

oh gosh. really???????????????????

Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

the Bear SG

yah.. it's called toxoplasma...

not good..

read here about it..

stuff about toxoplasma

MooKu SG

What can you do to control the spread of Toxoplasma? Restrict your pet cats from access to rodents and birds, and give them only cooked meat, commercially prepared cat food, and pasteurized dairy products. Don't allow them to scavenge in garbage cans.

Transmission of oocysts present in garden soil, children's sandboxes, litter boxes, and anywhere cats may defecate can be avoided by wearing rubber gloves during contact with contaminated soil or litter. Wash your hands thoroughly after contact. Cover sandboxes to prevent cats from defecating in them. Get rid of feces from litter boxes every day, and disinfect them with scalding water or dry heat; chemical disinfection is not effective in destroying oocysts.

Phew. I only feed the kitty cat food and I don't let it go anywhere dirty. And everytime I clean up its home I wear gloves and dump them after one use. And there're no sandboxes nearby Smile

Okay I'll take extra caution. Confused

the Bear SG

good Smile

got litterbox for it? use lots of baking soda to absorb the smell Razz

if i was living in my own place, i'd get a bunny Smile

MooKu SG

no litterbox yet.. my mom doesn't wanna sponsor cos she's not exactly for the idea of me keeping kitty. Crying or Very sad currently it's just newspaper in the cage =( but I'll get a litterbox as soon as possible.

the Bear SG

aiyah.. dunno why moms are always bent outta shape when children want to keep pets.. even when we know and are responsible for our pet's upkeep and maintenance Neutral

i like cats but i think i'll never be able to keep one.. they'll go stalk and hunt any other pets i would like to keep..

they're like that Razz

MooKu SG

I feel so bad for keeping the kitty caged at night. Crying or Very sad I'd love to have it sleep with me on the bed.. But I guess it's not quite safe right, given that it might pass on the virus to me?

the Bear SG

not about yet Smile

also, if you train it (uhh.. training a cat??) well enough, it'll recognise that the cage is "his home" so will go in there by itself Smile

uhh.. kitty is a him or her?

MooKu SG

Kitty is a him Smile little darling kitty Mr. Green

Train.. the kitty knows that it should do its business in there, it does it daily... Wink

But I suppose it hates the stupid cage because we keep him in there at night. Recently when I try to put the kitty in, it seems to be refusing to go in. Sad

And actually now, I'm not sure whether I wanna keep the kitty cos of the germ thingy.. Confused I'd love to keep him, but...

ntu slacker SG

pls dun think too much
my dog licks my face n even my mouth! when i come home everyday. Smile
no adverse effects... even though he goes around playing and sniffing in the garden everyday

keep the kitten.
but dun feel too bad abt caging it up... or even better just make a wire mesh enclosure for it to roam freely in... and do give him a few chew toys or maybe a improvised stratch post?
i dun really advise bringing him to sleep with u cos it'll become a habit... but as long u spend adequate time with him... there shouldnt be any guilt!

treasure your pet! Mr. Green
and after so long then u see my thread! Evil or Very Mad
tot u MIA liao.

MooKu SG

My dog does too.. Embarassed But cats carry a kind of parasite which can cause adverse psychological effects on human beings... I think there is a link to the article posted by the Bear above. I don't wanna undergo a personality change

Or maybe I'll think about it for a while more, since no one wants to adopt kitty yet.

My brother refuses to let the dog step onto grass because he says she'll get fleas.. Confused

Kitty wails everytime he's in the cage when I'm around.. then my heart pain pain niaa.. Crying or Very sad sigh.

I also dunno how come I missed your thread hee. Mr. Green

ntu slacker SG

haha its ok!
fleas?
well dogs n fleas dun mix but im sure ticks are more serious
tts y i nvr bring my dog for walks anymore... but at least the garden is enuff for him liao Mr. Green

anyway since u kinda know mi.. y not check out my aunt agony thread,.... dying to know wat u think... the one entitle "decided to come clean"

bismarck SG

Maya061 SG

I even have ...urrrmmm.. 4 cats and 3 kittens. Mr. Green

MooKu SG

/me pats bismarck

MooKu SG

the Bear SG

both my hamsters died of old age...

they lived long lives eating things they weren't supposed to eat.. like chicken, duck, crickets, roast pork and stuff like that Smile

they were adorable but lifespan is very short..

thinking of getting another to spoil and pamper Smile
