Having a Cats Fight???

Bismillahirahmanirahim..............

Pening dibuatnya, hari sabtu lepas kak ayu (ex-secretary bos aku) telah menyerahkan kucing nyer kat aku untuk selama-lamanya. sedikit latar belakang kucing yang baru jer aku adopt.


                                                 Comei muka Adu bersegi dan sedikit flat... 
  • Nama - Mei Mei (aku tukar hadi adu a.k.a chef adu)
  • Gender - Male (haa inilah reason yang sangat kukuh nape aku tukar namanya)
  • Age - 9 -10 month (until sept 2012)
  • Disease - Dandruff infection (so now he's bold) hahahaha
  • Fur colour - Not sure yet (most of it gray and orange spot)
  • Behaviour : 
  • (Good) - manja giler (Meyo pun naik jealous), sleep in my bed (buat cam dah biase jer)                     
  • (weaknesses) - hissing all the time whenever near to my other cats (boot and meyo)
  • Unique attitude - Very slow walking and always having a very pity face (he looks gloomy)
Pasal ni lah kepalo aku pening, pantang meyo or si boot berlari-lari kat depan die, mesti die macam nak "gaduh" ngan 2 ekor lagi tu. Confuse aku, taulah die tu jantan yang 2 ekor lai tu betina, sepatutnya kalo berlainan charge akan lebih "attraction" ini lain la pulak. Tetiba sepanjang aku bela kucing jarang ah diorang akan gaduh sesama sendiri. Paling lama pun sehari jer lepas tu elok jer bermain.Sampai tak ingat tuan. So terpaksa ah gilir-gilir masuk sangkar, kalo dua-dua lepas takut diorang gaduh teruk. So google punya google jumpa ah tips camner nak buat kucing kita jangan berkelahi dengan kucing yang baru.Hopefully tips ni menjadi ah.

Meyo yang macho 
Si boot a.k.a Adeq (yg pirate)

5: Gradually Introduce New Cats

You think you're doing your cat a favor by bringing home a companion and playmate. But your cat might see the newcomer as a rival and a threat, especially if you immediately thrust them together. Keep the new cat segregated from the other one (or ones) at firs and make sure the new cat has its own stuff: a separate litter box, food and water, perch, scratching post and toys.Then, gradually introduce the new cat to the resident cat, letting your resident cat first just see the new cat, then eventually letting them be around each other a little. Sometimes this takes a couple weeks," Brunt explains.
Be aware that cats are also territorial. Your resident kitty probably has a favorite spot or two for snoozing or watching the goings-on in the neighborhood. Discourage the new cat from honing in on these spots. Even better, encourage the newbie to adopt his own special place by finding a separate spot, then setting a towel there with his scent on it, and perhaps some catnip.

4: Mix Your Cats' Scents

Scent is very important to cats. They like how they smell and are comfortable with familiar odors. It's not uncommon for a cat owner with two companionable cats to take one cat to the vet, only to return home and have him greeted by a now-hostile friend. What gives? The cat that went to the vet likely picked up a lot of new scents that are confusing the cat who stayed home, leading him to think his buddy is a scary stranger. But according to Peterson, it's easy to prevent this situation. Before you leave the vet's office for home, rub the cat with a towel containing the home cat's scent. When you walk in the door, the cat that stayed home will be greeted by a reassuring smell.
Swapping or mingling scents also helps when you bring home a new cat. When your new cat is initially isolated from the resident cat, start getting them used to each other's scents by rubbing each one's towel or favorite toy over the other cat, Brunt recommends.

3: Watch Out for Illness

When you're not feeling well, you might retreat to another room to be alone. And you'd probably reprimand a child who jumped on your back for a piggyback ride shortly after you returned from a trip to the chiropractor. Similarly, a cat who isn't feeling so hot might take a swipe at a buddy who's trying to play, or at a normally beloved littermate who accidentally slides into its sore hip. "Cats hide illness pretty well," says Peterson, noting one indication your cat might be under the weather is sudden aggression toward a furry pal.
Brunt agrees, noting pain in cats is much more common than veterinarians and other experts once believed. If you suspect your cat isn't feeling well because of the way it's acting toward other cats, a trip to the vet may be in order.

2: Beware of Redirected Aggression

You're stressed out about work, and take it out on loved ones by yelling at them for something minor. Cats also sometimes take out their anger or fear on whoever is the closest, whether it's you or their feline housemate. In fact, this practice is actually quite common among indoor cats, which are, in a sense, trapped. For example, let's say your cat is looking out the window and sees another cat or dog in the yard. Your cat, which is territorial by nature, gets agitated. But he can't do anything about the animal outside because he's stuck inside the house. So he turns around, sees his buddy and picks a fight. Although such behavior certainly isn't desirable, it's good to know it's considered typical in cats. Still, you can help prevent such situations by observing what agitates your cat. If he loves sitting on the couch by the window, for example, but is often distressed by what's going on outside, close the shade during the day or put up a large screen.

1: When in Doubt, Distract


It's too late -- the fighting has begun. What do you do? Don't step in and try to break it up by hitting the cats or chasing them with a broom. You'll merely end up with a wealth of scratches and possibly with cats that never trust you again. Your interference may even escalate their aggression. Instead, make a sudden, loud noise from a hidden spot by clapping your hands or banging a pan. The noise will startle the cats, and they'll likely both run away. (Or at least the one who is losing the fight will.) Another tactic, says Peterson, is to distract them by tossing something -- a pillow, for example -- to a spot a little bit away from the fight. Again, the distraction will likely end the squabble. Just make sure you lob the object from a hidden spot so they don't associate you with the fight in any way.


Ok go..go.. chaiyok....bak kata pepatah melayu "kalau tak dipecahkan ruyung, takkan dapat sagunya". haaa macam tak masuk je pepatah ni dengan situasi aku sekarang. Apa-apapun, lama manalah yang diorang leh gaduhkan, buat sakit tokak diorang je menderam 24 jam.Hari ni dah masuk hari ke-4, rasenya hissing menghissing tu dah berkurang sikit. Cuma tenung menenung je lagi, hendak-hendak si meyo tu. Si boot xleh ah nak tenung lama-lama coz ade sebijik je mata dia.
