The Truth about Pet food 

Most of you remember the recall of melamine tainted powdered milk in china 2008! Do u know an outbreak of Pets food recalled, early sign,  in 2007 is due to melamine too.

Cat should live 30 yrs but why they die half as early now?

It is clearly stated from http://www.astrologyzine.com/safe-cat-food.shtml
It explains everything clearly and people who raise cats knew it is true.
Unlukily, most Malaysia distributors/petshops dont sell more than the few variety.

Reasons
 * Lack of Nutricions & Melamine tainted pet food ( Wheat/ rice Gluten)
 * List of food poisonous to pet http://www.earthclinic.com/Pets/poisonous_foods.html
 * Excess carbohydrates are stored as fat,  good fat consumed is utilized to produce energy
 * Wild cats do not eat grains or vegetables. They need Taurin.
 *  Cats are more susceptible to Salmonella bacteria (which cause "food poisoning" and diarrhea)
    than dogs, and raw chicken or turkey (and eggs) often have some Salmonella present.
 * When a cat eats only dry cat foods, it may have to obtain 95% or more of its water
    requirement from drinking water.

Guinea Pig...Closest to Cat somehow!

I didnt like guinea pig at all... i used to feel disgusted when i see them because they just looked so much like those ugly and dirty mouse. Not until one time, some looking for trouble kids came round and ask me to look after them for awhile. I realized.. i could be wrong.  Infact, i started to fall love with them.

Five characters of a Guinea Pic that resembles the Characteristic of a Cat

1. They are shy and mostly behave like a slow cooker who will be very passionte over a longer
     period of time.
2. They Squick..... and make sounds just like a cat when they see someone near by ( familiar people).
3. They wet themselves when they drink. A cat wet its undercoat and purposely flip the drinking bowl
     over to create attention
4. They Purrr  by Burrrrr... when they feel comfortable, especially after bath.
5. They would be so happy and glid your hand if you have a treat!

* This is not research done by behavior research professionals but my close observation.

Pet Travel or Not?

Pet travel by cargo is always an issue to be considered by pets'owner as moving pets by air has certain risk to bear. Mostly,  pets fatality are caused by two reasons;  extreme whaether (Heat) and stress. Sometimes, it is just so unpredictable to how it will turn out. I have been utilizing the only pet cargo airline in Malaysia for traveling pet. I have no other choice regardless of any criticism of the service.

However, even a developed and advance country operated airline like USA, encountered death for shipping pets. Report from  Department of Transportation US found that more pets died on Delta flights in 2011 than on any other airline.

The  airline now  refuse to transport:-

i)  English and French Bull dog because snub-nosed breeds' respiratory problems.

ii)  animals which exhibit signs of injury, distress, or are demonstrating efforts to escape and that  reserves the right to refuse pets as checked baggage if the health of the animal is in question and/or if the animal's health may be jeopardized by the extreme conditions.

iii) pets checked as baggage in summer in order to avoid exposing them to extreme heat in the cargo hold.

Delta is not the only airline having a problem transporting pets. Last year, five pets died on American Airlines, four on Alaska Airlines, three on continental, and two each on Hawaiian Airlines and United Airlines, according to the report

Delta  spokeswoman Mary Ryan told ABC News that pets "will now have a dedicated staff and temperature-controlled vans instead of the inhospitable baggage compartment," which will "lead to a better experience for pets." 

This is so ridiculous... common sense.. temperature controlled is the main point!!! What took you so long to learn?  How i wish all other major airline would start to realize it.

Pet  weighing in at twenty pounds or under (including the carrier), will  pretty much assured a spot in the lap of pressurized compartment.  Thats where my cats are. It will be great to have a specialized PET AIRLINE such as PET AIRWAYs and JETBLUE

I guess the best way is to do as what the Humane Society recommended " Not transporting pets by air unless absolutely necessary, and  bringing small pets with you into the passenger seat whenever possible.

Doll face or Flat face?

ME NEITHER

I believe all Persian Fanciers would sometimes wonder why are the standards flat? According to history, it is due to selective breeding and hence produced the flat face, high nose round and chubby fella whom we called " Show type". Not to look into the criticism but from our most personal point of view, most of us agreed, the standards are set to defined whats " appealing to the eyes". In simplified aesthetics value - "CUTE". However, what's bothering me is the more favorable they are... they less are those doll face. I do keep a few of those. Sometimes find them to be less clumsy and smarter. But if you really like doll face.. like it then. How far can we go following others anyway? 

Cat's Home visitors policy

Occassionaly, my home gets abit overcrowded!

Visiting homes and door to door roaming is very common in Malaysia.  When people are free, they want to go to the others home to have a look! Guess what, my home is getting a lot more visitors than usual during festive and celebration because thats when they are not working so they wanna see the cats in my home...for fun!

Here is the nightmare... a simple sms to drop by is a thousand tonne to me.  I got to make sure they are in tip top condition, no water splilt, no stain on their hair, suck up all the fallen hair.. get ready the visitors area,  by the time you come, i am already half dead.

Not to say i dont welcome visitors, but i really appreciate if you are a serius buyer to my advertised cats only. Dont come and ask me.. what about this.. what about that.. what about what? All i can say is they are not for sale. Those that are is right there where i always advertised.

I think many people forget, i am a breeder (hobby) and a employee (work) as well. When is my holiday? Therefore, home visitors are welcome when we are somehow becoming a little more aquainted  then just chatting a few times on line. Also,  Male (buyers) you are a big threat when i am a weaker gender. So, why dont you check out the photos and video first. When u truly want to get one of this monster home. You call me up! How about that?

Remember this simple riddle " See no touch , touch no see, see & touch, Pay Monie!!! :)
