DDX was sick last sat

Jennifer say:




Last sat was a worry day for all of us as DDX kept vomitting for the whole day. We suspected that she had licked on the washing powder in the toilet as she now had this bad habit of licking water from the pails in the toilet. DD had refused to drink nor eat on sat.

Mum was very worried as DD is one of her favourite cat beside Sweetie.

On sun, we sent her to the vet. On the way to the vet, DD had kept crying. We had to comfort her by kept talking to her. The vet said that DD had Gastric problem that happen suddenly to all cats. The main reason is DD had eaten something wrong. DD had a injection and two medicines - one for anti-vomit and one for anti inflammatory. She instructed us to feed DD two small potions per day only.

At home, DD was sleeping the whole day. At night, i woke her up and feed her wet can food. We were very happy and relief when DD started to eat her food.

On Monday, DD meowed for dry food. I had instructed dad and mum NOT to feed her dry food as she might still vomit again. But the spoilt DD was still given dry food and she vomitted. After this incident, dad and mum did not dare to feed DD any dry food when she winned.

After her completed course of medication that was yesterday, DD is back to meowing for food (dry) and she has fully recovered also.

Funny sleeping places that DD and sweetie love

DD: On the sofa. sleep there almost everyday

Sweetie: Sleep on Sister's study desk. Used to be Xiami sleeping area until sweetie decided to claim this place as her own

DD: On sister's chair in our room. Only sleep there when we did not let her out in the living room. Otherwise, she will be sleeping in a tiny fruit basket(will included photos later)

XianXian and her cat mummy

XianXian: Mummy, look at me ler....

DD: WHAT!!! u r supposed to stare at the camera....

XianXian: But i LOVE to look at u... mummy, look at me....

I tried introducing xianxian and Hehe to the big cats.

Sweetie: act like ah-bob (terrapin), run away but not before hissing at them

DD: more friendly to Xianxian...tried to bite hehe ears' but not painful at all as hehe did not cried.

Ah-du: another ah-bob...tried to escape(i am surprised why big cats are scared of tiny kittens)

KK: interested in xianxian. Also box xianxian ears

Xiami: hiss like snake... so i did not put too near to xiami.

Mum said the kittens are like 'baby deer that do not know the tiger' (if u know how to say this in hokkein).. Hehe and xianxian are a bit scared of the big cats but they do not know how to run away to hide.

Not introduced wang wang to the kittens. I had renamed xiao sweetie to "wang Wang". At first we wanted to named her "Ah-Wang" after the dim-witted guy in The TVB drama, Life made simple.But eventually, we named her "wang wang". Her older brother is called 'wang zai' and her other sister is called 'wang lai'. Wang wang other siblings are the other community cats in our area but only wang zai is friendly to us.

DD, the cat that can 'act'

I am sure DD will be a good 'actress' if she goes to 'lalawood'. When we put the buster collar on her, DD refused to eat for one whole day..she also refused to drink. I had to force feed her glocolin water with syringe. Mum was heart-broken and said that DD 'may' die if she do not drink nor eat. Dad kept saying how miserable DD looked. Sister kept sayang DDX. I tried to feed her food but was unsuccessful. Sweetie tried to comfort DD by touching her nose with a big question mark on her face. Sweetie must be wondering why DD must wear that funny big collar but i am unable to explain to sweetie using cat language.

So on Day 2 of wearing collar, sister called the vet whom told sister that if DD licked the wound, it may recovered slowly, but we can put the collar on her at night. So happily, we removed the collar. DD then started to lick her wound and groom her fur. Ya, the notty gal kept grooming the ringworm's area. I had to removed her head for her fur dozen of times. Then she started to find dry food to eat and drink some water.

The third night when i placed the collar on her, she again refused to eat. And she stayed at one corner putting on her best downcast look. Being soft-hearted, i removed the collar for her. DD turned back to normal self in just under one minute. I can see the transformation on her - from a grumpy frog to a princess.

Yesterday, i had tied a cloth over DD's ringworm area. Not too sure if this is effective for her but at least, she do not need to wear the big head collar again. I had took photos of DD wearing that top(picture above), it is supposed to made her look like 'chang jin' - i am trying to create a Korean Hanbok but i had created a fat bonbon clothing for DD. I guess the cloth is too big for her.

I had not released xiao sweetie. The wound is still tiny but had not closed up properly.

Xiami is becoming very notty nowaday. She keep meowing for us to release her for her carrier. On sunday, xiami pee on my bed when sister allowed her to roam free in our room.

Poor DD... confirmed case of ringworm

Today, dad and sister had brought DD to the vet. Dad is on leave today so he is able to bring sister to the vet using blood's motorcycle. Sister said that she had placed DD's carrier on her lap while holding on to Dad's shoulder. Dad is now using blood motorcycle to work as well. Anyway, DD cried outside the door. In the vet, sister said DD did not make any noises but she is angry when sister pushed her back into the carrier.

DD now is wearing a buster collar. I am surprised that the buster collar that looked like normal plastic rolled into a circle cost $10. She had two injections - antibodies and anti-fungi injection, one medicine to swallow and one medicine to apply. The total vet treatment is $74. DD do not want to leave our room and is 'embrassed' to see sweetie. I think sweetie had a 'shocked' face when she saw DD just now. I can see sweetie's ear flattened. For DD, she is happy to just stay in our room. She is still not used to her 'big head'. She is certainly a sad cat now. Things will be better once she had recovered. The whole treatment will be for 12 days. I think i will not allow sweetie to sleep at me at night while DD is recovering. Cannot take the risk with sweetie. DD shall sleep beside me at night if she wishes or she will sleep at sister's study chair.

A bit of news on xiao sweetie: I am pleased to inform all of you that she had almost recovered. The wound is now very small with daily treatment of antibodies powder. I think the wound should close up by monday or tues, then i will be releasing her back to her terrority. In fact, the wound is closing up bit by bit everyday.

DD had suspected case of ringworm

See DD's hand where it is red... actually there is no fur growing on the circle. Sister had asked vincent and 'Dr V' suspected a case of ringworm. We are bringing DD to the vet this weekend for treatment. I had no ideas what are cats' ringworm... but a research show that ringworm are not worm but only fungus growing on cats' fur. And it can be spread to me... ha.. i am not actually scared that i may got DD's ringworm as i still sleep with DD.It is not something incurable, the cat suffer more than me in fact.

i am only afraid that sweetie will get it too as the two of them are very close. I wonder how DD got her ringworm.....And one more matter, the site asked me to clean up all the places where DD sleeps..... it is going to be a big project.


This site show a whole list of the effects of ringworm, other than loss fur, DD is still very active and healthy-looking - No messy fur, still groom her fur well.

What are Ringworm?

"Ringworm" is the common name for the skin infection caused by a special group of fungi; it is not caused by a worm at all. The fungi feed upon the dead cells of skin and hair causing, in people, a classic round, red lesion with a ring of scale around the edges and normal recovering skin in the center. Because the ring of irritated, itchy skin looked like a worm, the infection was erroneously named. The fungi responsible are called "dermatophytes," meaning "plants that live on the skin" thus the more correct term for ringworm is "dermatophytosis." The characteristic "ring" appearance is primarily a human phenomenon. In animals, ringworm frequently looks like a dry, grey, scaly patch but can also mimic any other skin lesion and have any appearance.

(From this site:)

Ringworm actually has nothing to do with worms. It's a fungus that grows in the cat's dead skin, claws, or hair. Ringworm on a cat looks like little circles of hair loss that mainly cluster around the head, paws, and ears. It can look very different depending on the cat, but there will obviously be something wrong - in general, it looks like a little scaly patch of skin where the hair has been lost. The problem is that if you're not a vet, you won't be able to tell for sure. It could well be some other skin condition because many other things can cause similar conditions. However, if your cat is losing hair in random places with weird looking skin underneath, you probably should be taking them to the vet regardless of what you think the cause is.

If your cat is healthy, the ringworm will clear up on its own within a few weeks in most cases. But that's not an excuse not to take them to the vet. Treatment is recommended in ALL cases. Why? Because a lot of cats don't ever clear up without treatment, and you can't tell whether they will or not beforehand. ALSO - it's not just a cat disease. A fungus can grow on anything - that means your dogs, and that means you and other humans as well. If it spreads to you, it will look like little red, circular spots, and you may have the same skin scaling that shows up on cats. You need to decontaminate the cat, get treatment, and disinfect or burn all the cat's toys, food bowls, litter boxes, beds, etc.

Fortunately, treatment is easy for both humans and cats, so don't freak out too much. There are several drugs for cats as well as topical skin products. Treatment will probably take about six weeks for the cat. If you get the spots, you need to see a doctor, and you can get a skin product that will deal with it too (you can't use the same ones for both cats and people).

Heard on FM100.3 where the DJ asked why people 'hated' dogs..apparently, all the signs that said "Pets are not allowed in this premises" will put a picture of a dog. Why not put cat, rabbit or fish, why only dog?
