How are you today?

[PhilippeD]

My little one have catch a "bug". She got something misunderstood.

Both of my kid, following the hard will of their mom, have 2 name.
The trouble is some people call them by their first name and other by the second.
The younger one seem to think her first name is a general term for call someone (maybe something like "sister").

She constantly call her sister by her own name.

I'm trying to fix that by asking her the name of the different member of the family and correcting her.
She always got it right for everyone except for her sister...

Yesterday in the car I was asking her again the name of everyone, it was maybe the fourth time I was going through the question. I didn't go more far than the first question...
Seriously, she had surprise me! She know what was the goal of my question. At the FIRST question I ask (what is your name?) she didn't even answer it and directly point at her sister and shout the right name of her sister.

Later in the evening, she was angry and run after her sister in the house because she took her toy (or whatever she had in her hand) and she was still shouting at her with her own name... still have work to do!

Don't stop feeding them! they really love you deep down inside! They just don't know how to show it.
Plus, what you are doing is important, here, I wade a workflow!
stray cat = insecure cat = bloody finger = no feeding = hungry cat = bony cat = bad mie ayam = SaddyMan (formerly HappyMan)

bad mie ayam, you mean the mie ayam is from cat meat? omG
maybe i will feed them again, but i wont put the food on my hand, it wont be nice if she bite me again

The law of nature said a injured or sick animal would be the pray of the predator.
ALL injured animal become very more aggressive. Only a cat who know you very well would let you approach them when they are sick or injured.

It's part of the game of taking care of sick/injured animal... they will try to bite and scratch you.

Long time ago the father of our present cat (their are not house cat, they are not allowed inside the house) was sick, I suspect he had worm.
One of the "easy" natural way to cure worm is with garlic (I don't give any kind of guaranty over this prescription).
Have you ever try to feed garlic to a adult DOMINANT MALE cat?
He already had scar all over his body because he fight (and win) with all other male cat coming in his territory. I saw him many time fighting for a female and many more time just showing off for any other male run away of the female.

Hopefully he was weak the first time I feed him the garlic (forced into is mouth). I roll him inside a "blanket" for immobilize him and protect myself from scratch and push the crunched garlic into his mouth and hold the mouth close until he swallow.
After a week he start to feel very better, his skin start to be better and I give him his second home prescription. Believe me, he was way more lively and I got scratched. But one more week later he was fully recovered... and fighting other male again!

He had pass away last year.

yeah the injured/ sick animal will be more galak than a healthy one.. and probably in this case the kitten afraid other cat will steal her food, so she bit my hand that has food on it T_T

not sure if they have worm in their stomach, im afraid to approach them to put the garlic on their mouth.. maybe i will ask my mom to help lol

putting food on your hand is certainly not a good idea van

stock some those friskies wet food sachet, its 5k each, kittens love it, and it is tender and mushy so they can it with no problems. Try to contact vets nearby your place and share your good intentions for the strays, i think they could give you some discounts if you take sick strays to them

I did the same. Now every few weeks I take male stray cats that i could find to a great vet in bsd, she only charges me 150k per neuter procedure.

i know, but if i just put the food on the floor she won't eat it
actually thats exactly what i feed her, the wet food for kitten, the package is in purple color
before her, there was another cat that sick when she was little, i took her to the vet.. i told the vet that the cat is stray cat.. but obviously the vet is looking for money and she charge me 300k and she even promoted things such as pricey cat food and milk for me to buy -_______-
that day wasnt near from pay day, i think i should save some money from now on for an unexpected event like this

[mindblown]

I think you can find vets who wouldn't charge much for strays on the internet. I took sick strays to laras satwa bsd, they charged me like 600k for worm meds and all the kittens that i took there died.

oh! and how i am today.. uhmm
work and stuff nothing special
day 60 since I have my last morning coffee.

[vania~]

ahhh poor kittens! is it possible that they are too weak, so they were dead?
i try to google about the vet that willing to help, volunteering like that.. but i couldnt find one,
i told my mom that i got bitten by the kitten and my thumb feels funny now, and she told me to get rid of the cats.. she afraid i got rabies from the bitten lol..
when i was working in bali years ago.. i live in a kost2an belong to balinese family and they have a poor dog that always chained 24hours per day, it was so sad to watch the dog, he barks all the time and sounds like a sad barks
one night i was about release it but the dog was very what do you say, ehm grumpy? and he/she bit me too and i got injection to prevent rabies..

:O you try to avoid coffee because of high blood pressure ya? good luck mb

I was thinking you had to fight with your cat for feed them and then he bite you!

? You feed them in your hand???
I had my finger "chew" a couple of time by our cat (when I was kid) because my finger were smelling food. If you feed with your hand you can need to expect they will bite you, you hand have the same smell than there food!

Right now it have a huge storm in Samarinda, my wife was out for delivery... Tree have fall and some place the flood is crazy, my wife said until the car mirror.

nah they fight each other, but actually i feed them all with some space like 30cm from each food that i put on the floor..but one cat that has their food still want other cat food.. and sometimes the cat growled..
and thats the moment when i put the food on my hand for the kitten to eat, and she chewed my thumb till bleeding
i was just fed her this evening and she didnt eat much, not sure because she is sick or because i didnt put the food on my hand (which is a bad idea i know lol, i wont do that again)
i just realized that the injured kitten is so small compared to her siblings.. but i try to give her the vitamins that still left. the vitamin was belong to rosie (the stray cat that was sick back then, now she is doing great)

yeah maybe she think that my finger is also food because the smell...actually she use to chew my finger but not a real chew like this, i almost cry like a baby because it was real hurt lol..

ah, hope your family is fine in there Phil!

The "worm" that can be cured with garlic is the one that make the skin become thick and bumpy. The "bulu" also become "gelek". It is quite visible (not the worm but their effect). If the skin is normal,garlic is probably not what they need...

I also prefer dog to cat... but for the feeling of their tongue licking your hand; Cat have largely my preference.
I had always hate any kind of licking by a dog. Seeing people getting their face liked by their dog make me
It's disgusting!!!!

For home partner I prefer heu... another human!
Pet come with a cost of time and attention for them, nothing I'm ready to "spend" for a pet now... maybe when I will be an old grumpy...
