Poor Kitty Megat

No..I dun want you to clean me all the time san...


Now that we have found a neater way for Megat to have his supplements, we hit on another difficulty. It has to do with his sang hwang suppository. It leaks out and poor Megat goes about sometimes with a trail of sang hwang following him. Of course I would also have to follow him and clean up after my poor kitty...even after the 1 hour of compulsory immobility. I don't think I should subject him to much more cleaning as he needs to rest after his night supplements. But as he and all of us need to be clean, I have to clean his anus several times after and sometimes I need to give him a wash with warm water and shampoo because he smells of poo. And of course the places that he goes to for respite also smells and sometimes has traces of poo. :( Since he cant help these things, I am not upset nor angry. Its just that I wish it could be easier for him.


He is very patient with all of this but I foresee that I might need to change his bedding daily or not allow him to walk about even after the 1 hour confinement. This kind of stress would freak out his immunity I am sure. I have yet to find a resolution for such a thing so will probably just keep him in his cage immediately after the 1 hour time-out so he could use the bin in there. Then I would clean him up and change the bedding. This seems to be the best option.

Thanks for previous posts and this. They are informative and make it easier to say no to SH suppository for my cat (not cancer). It wld stress cat, cat care-giver & wallet. Be well Megat as you have San looking after you.

Hey san, would diaper be a good option? BTW, i thought Megat looks stress in this photo :(

Thats because he really does not enjoy the supplements that I need to give him and he is not a cat who would eat all the stuff voluntarily. he does like the ling zhi with papaya and would lick all of it and even the colloidal silver in pumpkin. But the rest he would just as soon not eat :)

Do share where i cld get cat diapers? I bought baby diapers (6kg like my cat) - hahhaa... much, much, MUCH too small.
10 pcs of 43x60cm under-pads (liners) are $2.40 at M in S'goon Rd and it could be cut into half for cleaning rear-end purposes. My cat had PU surgery and we clean rear end 2x a day.

I dunno where to get cat diapers :) Maybe Mary would be able to tell us lah. I went to the pet store and saw only dog diapers. I think diapers would stress out Megat even more so I am just exploring the confinement option just for now. I tried to put him in a small harness once before so we can let him out along the corridor and he just froze.
