The Cats Story Hi, Jianshuo, it's great to read the cats story. End September one of our friends found also a homeless kitten middle on the street when he was driving, he was sick, one eye was seriously swollen and he was shivering all the time, it's cold in late autumn and just rained. Because he has a big sheperd dog at home so he called us if we could take care of this kitten, we asked him to bring him over. We thought we should bring him to the veterinary at first since I fear he will be blind, the vet told us he was only 6 weeks old and got a cat's cold which can be fatal for cats, that's why one eye is swollen. The kitten got the medical treatment incl. injection for all his problems e.g. cold, fleas. We then bought the canned food for him and he devourred all 190g. Now 2 and half months passed by, Garfield (his name, he looks quite like Garfield, the only difference is he is still a teenager and not so fat like Garfield) is doing great, healthy and plays much as kitten usually does. I consulted the vet. and also got some advices from my mother-in-law who used to have 2 siamcats (暹逻猫, one died at 21 which equals about 120 years old of human being). Here I'd like to share something important with you. The cats should get the immunization against both cat's cold and distemper at 6, 9, 12 weeks and afterwards once a year since these are very serious illness and fatal for cats. If you are not going to have more cats in future a sterilization for Huahua is needed. Always give them finished cat food because it has the nutrition all a cat needs, of cause you needn't always buy Whiskas or Sheba, but Whiskas has the sortiment of kitten food, only for cat babies and teenager, which should be good for Huahua's grow-up. When he's one year old you can give him the normal adult food. Don't mix the dry food and the pouch together, (actually they prefer the pouch, like my Garfield :-)) Huahua, Liangliang and the white male cat are lucky to have you and Wendy to give them a sweet home, I believe they will enjoy their life there. Cats are so instinctive creatures and certainly they will also bring you a lot of joy! |
