21 Reasons Why Olive Oil Should be In Every Home

Olive oil is one of the most widely used oils for cooking, but it’s power goes beyond just making the food taste amazing. Olive oil is a monounsaturated fat and has many health benefits that are proved by lots of scientific research. Great for heart disease, diabetes, even cancer, this type of oil must be included in every diet. This is only if we think only about the eating aspect, but olive oil have lots of uses, not only internally but also externally.

Use olive oil for:
1. Treating a sunburn - keep it cool in the fridge and applied on burned skin it reduces pain.
2. Hydrating lips that are dry – apply it a few times per day and you will see amazing results even with very dry lips.
3. Cuticle oil – if you have problems with this, olive oil can be applied daily until cuticles become moisturized.
4. Removing paint from skin – rub the oil to the spot and get rid of it.
5. Cradle cap - take a wet cloth with olive oil and exfoliate the babies head with it.
6. Facial scrub – mixed with sugar helps exfoliate the skin.
7. Essential oils carrier – most essential oils need to be mixed with a different one so they can be applied on skin otherwise they can cause irritations.
8. Cleansing oil – great for removing dirt and dead cells from skin if used on a cloth.
9. Treatments with hot oil - for example for hydrating the hair that is dried.
10. Substitute butter – makes your meals more healthy and reduce calories.
11. Makeup remover – used with a cotton ball removes all types of makeup and also moisturize the skin.
12. Prevention of mosquito breeding – if you have a rain barrel at home, apply some oil in it and this will keep the mosquitoes away from putting their larvae in it.
13. Alternative for Goo Gone – for stickers or adhesives that don’t want to come of, if they are saturated in oil, it becomes easier to remove them.
14. Head lice remover – if the hair is soaked in a lot of olive oil, it kills all head lices and the only thing you need to do more is to comb the hair and rinse it.
15. Ease an earache – olive oil helps with soothing the pain if applied warm.
16. Measuring cup aid – coat your cups when needed and the measurements will be more accurate.
17. Polishing shoes – use it with a microfiber cloth and it will remove all dirt and make your shoes shine.
18. Conditioner for cutting boards – wooden boards need a special care so if you want to keep them on long term, use once in a while some olive oil on them.
19. Alternative for shaving cream – when you are out of shaving cream this helps you avoid cuts.
20. Hairball remedy - for cats that go through hairball, if you add a teaspoon of olive oil in their food, helps them to get rid of it.
21. Remove gum stuck in hair – it happens sometimes, gently add it to the area and let it sit 5 minutes before trying to remove the gum.

Tips Mengurangkan Rambut Gugur dan Kembali Sihat

Salam korang...

Lama dah aku tak sharekan any tips right...

Just nak share dengan korang masalah yang aku alami baru-baru nie.

Like usual lepas bersalin masalah rambut gugur nie agak biasa right.

So aku since dah 4 kali bersalin mulanya malas nak ambik pusing sgt sebab tahap keguguran rambut masih dalam kawalan lagi... meaning takde la sampai botak kepala aku. Cuma rambut semakin menipis sedikit la.

Until 1 day aku pergi gunting rambut di sebuah salon di Tesco Setia Alam. Waaa...amoi tue punyer la bising2 kate rambut aku dah nipis sgt la macam2...

Maka die recommended anti-hair fall set from Loreal. Kononnyer it is the best product. Less chemical and sangat mujarab la...

 

Aku dengan hati yang berkobar2 melayang Rm150 beli set tue which is selama nie aku pakai syampoo head & shoulder mint tue jerrr...

Since the 1st time pakai rambut aku gugur sangat banyak...sampai segumpal rambut gugur time bersyampoo...

Aku sedapkan hati cakap pada diri sendiri takper...ni maybe kesan sampingan untuk sementara.

Tapi biler everyday rambut aku segumpal gugur setiap kali bersyampoo atau tidak... Bayangkan sampai katil, lantai rumah penuh dengan rambut aku merata-rata...up to the stage, within 2 week kepala aku naik botak....

Seriously botak as in sampai nampak kulit kepala!!!!

Terus aku stop pakai product tue dan kembali ke syampoo asal aku.

 

Unfortunately masalah keguguran rambut aku tetap tak stop juga.

Finally satu malam aku terjage dan hati sedih mengenangkan rambut aku tue, maka aku ambik minyak habbatussauda yang mak pernah bagi aku 6 tahun dulu waktu die balik haji dan lumurkan di atas kepala aku.

Seriously mmg tak berapa selesa memandangkan minyak tue agak likat. Tapi aku nekad jer la since orang kate minyak habbatussauda nie banyak khasiatnya.

Alhamdulillah sekali jer pakai rambut aku stop gugur and now anak2 rambut baru telah start tumbuh semula.

Fuhhh...lega siket hati aku. Tapi since aku nie memang pemalas rasenyer 2 kali jer kot aku pakai minyak tue atas kepala nie.

Since rambut dah tak gugur lagi, aku pon malas pakai dah and so far alhamdulillah aku nampak banyak anak2 rambut kembali tumbuh semula.

So to those yang mengalami masalah rambut gugur yang serious rasenyer boleh la try lumurkan minyak habatussauda sebelum tido, then bangun pagi tue syampoo la kepala kalo tak seharian ber grease kepala tue sure tak selesa.

Selain daripada aku lumurkan di kepala aku, minyak habbatussauda juga aku gunakan untuk sapu di dada anak2 bila mereka batuk.

So far alhamdulillah agak mujarab...

Rasenyer sekarang nie agak mudah untuk mendapatkan minyak nie di kedai-kedai arab atau kedai-kedai jamu dalam bentuk minyak didalam botol ataupun softgel untuk dimakan sebagai suppliment.

Aku memang amalkan makan softgel habbatussauda dalam usaha mengekalkan production susu aku dan control my hi-blood pressure....

 

Selamat mencuba!!!!

Keperluan dan Persediaan Untuk Menyusukan Anak Sepenuhnya

Salam semua...

Lama aku tak menconteng ape-ape kat blog aku nie kan.

Baru-baru nie 1 of my classmate kat uni ask me to share tips on keperluan dan persediaan untuk menyusukan anak sepenuhnya.

Well aku takde la pakar dalam bidang breastfeeding nie. Tapi melalui pengalaman aku menyusukan ketiga-tiga anak aku sebelum ini sehingga mereka mencapai usia 2 tahun so boleh la aku sharekan serba sedikit tips melalui pengalaman dan hasil pembacaan dan perkongsian bersama-sama other breastfeeding moms.

1. Perkara paling penting sebelum memulakan breastfeeding nie adalah nekad dihati. Sebab sepanjang tempoh 2 tahun breastfeed anak ni akan ade banyak cabaran dan dugaan yang akan ditempuhi. Kalau hati tak kuat tue yang ramai kecundang di tengah jalan dan end up akan bagi anak minum formula milk.
2. Restu dan sokongan daripada suami. Bende nie jangan dipandang ringan. Sebab tanpa restu dan sokongan daripada suami kita pasti semangat nak breastfeed anak tue mudah luntur. Tapi kalau dapat full support from husband, sure kite berkobar-kobar nak fully breastfeed anak kite. Lagi pon kitekan nak jadi isteri dan ibu mithali...so perlu la dapatkan restu suami dulu sebelum melakukan ape-ape. If possible sharekan sebanyak mungkin benefit breastfeeding dengan suami kite. InsyaAllah pasti husband pasti akan merestui dan memberi sokongan yang sepatutnya.
3. Waktu mengepam susu. Perkara ini amat penting dimana breastfeeding mom perlu mendisiplinkan diri untuk mengepam once in 2 to 3 hours. Wajib!!! Bagi memastikan susu sentiasa di stimulate bagi mengelakkan susu cepat kering. Basically jumlah susu yang dihasilkan oleh breast kita adalah berpandu kepada supply and demand concept. The more we pump out the milk, the more milk akan di produce oleh breast kita. So elakkan daripada selalu skip waktu mengepam. Ini adalah antara masalah utama working mother. Jangan risau jika didapati susu telah mula merudum. Anda boleh cuba melakukan power pumping diwaktu malam or boleh juga cuba supplement atau ubat daripada doktor bagi merangsang semula breastmilk.  
4. Join breastfeeding group untuk mendapatkan moral support dan info daripada breastfeeding mom yang lain. Kalo kita lihat sekarang ini telah banyak breastfeeding group di buat di laman facebook atau NGO diluar sana seperti Kumpulan Ibu2 Menyusukan, Susuibu.my dan sebagainya. InsyaAllah hasil daripada perkongsian dan info serta tips yang diberi dan dikongsikan oleh breastfeeding mom yang lain akan secara langsung atau tidak langsung memberi semangat serta membantu dalam our breastfeeding journey.
5. Bagi ibu-ibu yang bekerja seperti saya, breastpump amat diperlukan untuk collect ebm (expressed breast milk) sewaktu bekerja. Kalau dilihat ade banyak jenis pump di pasaran sekarang nie. So semuanya terpulang kepada budget dan kemampuan masing-masing. Macam aku dulu, time Hamzah memang tak pump la sebab time tue duduk di Holland jadi full time housewife. Waktu Hadie pula aku dah start bekerja. Since baru nak memulakan hidup di Malaysia time tue aku hanya mampu beli madela harmony manual breast pump. Seriously to those yang nak pakai manual breastpump, highly recommended la madela harmony tue. Sebab die ade 2 phase expression yang membantu untuk merangsang susu keluar dulu sebelum kite start mengepam sepenuhnya. kelemahan manual pump ni plak ianya mengambil masa min 40mint untuk siap pump kedua-dua belah breast dan tangan agak lenguh laaaa.... 
   
   Time Hannah, kami bermodal siket so tukar kepada spectra dew 350. Spectra adalah salah satu brand electric breast pump yang highly recommended juga dikalangan breastfeeding mom kerana harga yang berpatutan dan kite boleh laras level pumping...Keistimewaan pakai spectra ni adalah ianya double pumping, so tempoh mengepam dapat dipendekkan kepada 20 minit sahaja. Since level pumping boleh dilaras, memang sangat selesa la bagi kita memilih level kekuatan pump yang sesuai dengan diri kita. Cuma breast pump spectra ni memerlukan direct electric power from socket. So few time waktu ken bertugas diluar pejabat, takde power socket di surau, terpakse mengepam di toilet. Tapi, demi untuk Hannah time tu, mommy pump juga...
   

   

   Finally time Hakim, En Hubby telah bermurah hati menghadiahkan mommy madela freestyle. Memang sangat convenience, ringan dan portable.Walaupun menggunakan battery, tekanan pump tetap kekal sama sehingga battery habis, so tidak mengganggu proses mengepam. Battery can last for 3 hours, so 1 session will take 20 minnutes means sekali charge battery boleh guna untuk max 8 ke 9 session sebelum perlu dicharge semula. So far madela freestyle adalah the best breast pump yang aku pernah guna setakat ini. Untuk breastpump yang lain-lain tu rasenye korang boleh la google dan bace review daripada orang yang pernah menggunakannya ok!!!
   

   
6. Tempat meyimpan ebm. Since time Hadie aku mengepam hari ini untuk kegunaan esok harinya, so ebm aku simpan terus di dalam botol. Tapi time Hannah, disebabkan stok ebm yg terlalu banyak, aku simpan ebm di dalam botol dan plastic zap seperti didalam gambar dibawah.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
7. Baju untuk breastfeeding. Baju ni takde la wajib ade, tapi baju yang di design khas untuk breastfeeding ni sangat memudahkan kita menyusukan anak especially in public. Tak perlu kite nak selak baju luas-luas.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
8. Poncho. Nie pon another optional item. Aku sendiri tak pernah ade. So far aku cover pakai tudung jer or pahmena. Ikut keselesaan masing-masing.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
9. Warmer -  diperlukan untuk memanaskan ebm. Tapi aku tak pernah ade pon sebab aku prefer direct feeding my kids tak kira dimana dan bila-bila masa. Ebm memang exclusively aku sediakan untuk my kids kat nursery sahaja. Namun jika korang rase tak selesa nak breastfeed anak in public boleh la bawa bekal ebm untuk diberi kepada anak. Warmer ade yang memerlukan direct electric power from socket dan ade juga yang portable cucuk didalam kereta. Kalau rase taknak pakai warmer nie, boleh juga rendam ebm didalam air panas (conventional way).
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
10. Ice pack dan cooler bag. Sangat diperlukan untuk menyimpan ebm selepas dipump di pejabat atau dimana-mana sahaja. Biasanya ice pack untuk cooler bag ni boleh bertahan sehingga 10 ke 12 jam. Cukup la kot masa untuk memasti ebm tidak rosak sehingga kita transfer ke dalam fridge.
    
    
    
    
11. Peti sejuk / deep freezer. Bergantung kepada berapa banyak stok ebm kita. Time Hannah ebm aku terlalu banyak sehinggakan freezer dekat rumah tue 100% digunakan untuk simpan ebm sahaja dan siap tumpang freezer nursery lagi sehinggakan ade ebm yang lama aku terpaksa buang sebab hendak memberi ruang kepada ebm baru. Ade some of breastfeeding mom, chest freezer tue pon penuh dengan ebm... wow!!! murah sungguh rezeki anak die kan. Time Hakim nie aku ade plan gak nak beli freezer memandangkan fridge baru nie freezer agak limited. Tapi plan tu masih kiv bergantung kepada jumlah ebm aku nanti. Tak perlu rushing....
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
12. Teknik menguruskan ebm. Ebm nie agak sensitive. Jika tidak diuruskan dengan betul, nutrien di dalam ebm boleh rosak. So pengetahuan untuk menguruskan ebm perlu ada pada ibu yang breastfeed anak dan juga perlu disampaikan kepada orang yang menjaga anak kita agar ebm tidak rosak. Jika ebm telah rosak, nutrition di dalam ebm akan hilang = anak minum air kosong jer laaa...
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

Untuk makluman korang, semua gambar dan illustration post aku kali ini adalah daripada en google sepenuhnya dan ianya adalah sekadar untuk perkongsian ilmu.

Harap dengan info-info tadi dapat membantu ibu-ibu diluar sana.... 

Tips Mencuci Kasut Sekolah Anak

Salam,

1st entry for 2014...

Maaf la buat masa nie kesihatan mak buyung agak merudum... Al-maklumla sekarang nie hanya menanti tiba saat dan masanya sahaja.

Aper pon rasenyer masih tak terlewat lagi untuk aku ucapkan Happy New Year kepada reader rumahbatamerah.

Orait since harini first day persekolahan anak-anak. aku nak sharekan sedikit tips mencuci kasut sekolah anak yang aku amalkan selama ini.

Tapi tips ini hanya terpakai untuk kasut sekolah canvas la ek... kalo kasut sekolah pvc tak perlu la kot.

Well, mulai tahun nie Hadie pon telah memulakan prasekolah di sekolah Hamzah.

Meaning every week sekarang ni ade 2 pasang kasut yg perlu aku cuci everyweek.

Tips yang aku gunakan sangat mudah iaitu dengan menyapu 2 layer kapur kasut.

Faham-faham jer la budak laki nie kan..kasut sekolah diorg sehari jer dah hitam legam.

Biler nak mencucinya pastu sukar kan!!!

Tapi since aku apply 2 layer kapur kasut kat kasut sekolah Hamzah last year....alhamdulillah sangat mudah aku cuci kasut sekolah die sebab segala kotoran sebenarnya hanya melekat pada kapur kasut jer...

Aku hanye perlu merendam seketika kasut sekolah die bagi kapur kasut tue kembang dan memberusnya sedikit sahaja.

Untuk apply 2 layer tue plak sebenarnya takde la renyah sangat.

Right after cuci terus kapurkan 1 layer...then biarkan untuk beberapa jam.

Setelah kasut hampir kering, kite sapukan lagi 1 layer kapur...

Biasa kalo kapur dah tebal-tebal tue normal la kot kalo dengar anak complaint kasut die keras nak pakai pagi isnin tue.

Tapi bende tu kejap jer...di start jer pakai few minutes the kasut akan ok semula.

So aku rase tue jer kot tips mencuci kasut sekolah yang aku amalkan buat masa ini.

Awal-awal tahun lepas dulu Hamzah pakai kasut sekolah pvc, tapi after everymonth aku terpakse belikan kasut baru sebab kasut pvc die mudah pecah terus aku bertukar ke kasut fully canvas.

So far alhamdulillah ok dan tahan lama....

Okla mak buyung nak siapkan dulu keje-keje kat office nie.

Doakan aku dan baby selamat yer... semoga Allah permudahkan urusan aku nanti...

Leadership...In Essence

A leader is best
When people hardly know he exists
Not so good
When they obey and acclaim him
Worst when they despise him
But of a leader
Who talks little
When his work is done
His aim fulfilled
The people will say
"We did it ourselves!"

Cat Allergies

Salam korang,

Semalam aku tak dapat nak bersiaran since kene jadi penceramah untuk Kursus Pengenalan Kontrak Pengurusan Fasiliti...

Makanya semalam aku ponteng puasa Rejab...uhuhuhuhuhu

Nak bercakap 4 jam kooo....sebenarnyer semangat berpuasa masih goyang lagi tue..so ade jer la alasan...  

Kalo kelmarin aku sharekan info keperluan nak bela anak-anak bulus kan....

Hari nie plak aku nak sharekan pasal alahan terhadap anak-anak bulu nie...

Kenapa aku nak share kan nie sebab aku dan Hadie memang sangat allergy dengan kucing termasuk kucing kampung.

Tapi yang peliknya..kami berdua langsung tak allergy dengan British Shorthair. Kalo breed yang lain kami berdua akan non-stop bersin sampai hidung dan mata naik bengkak....

Aku just copy & paste jer la dari web http://www.webmd.com/allergies/guide/cat-allergies

Rasenyer korang boleh la baca panjang lebar penerangan dalam article tue... 

Cat Allergies

Life with cat allergies -- whether they're yours or a family member's -- can raise a lot of questions. Could a cat allergy explain your son's never-ending cold symptoms? Will you regret giving in to your daughter's demands for a kitten, despite your allergies? Will a so-called hypoallergenic cat allow you to have the pet you've always wanted without making you a sneezing, sniffling mess?

Here are some answers -- what you need to know about cat allergies, from causes to treatments.

What Causes Cat Allergies?

About 10% of the U.S. population has pet allergies and cats are among the most common culprits. Cat allergies are twice as common as dog allergies. But contrary to what you might think, it's not the fur or hair that's the real problem. People with cat allergies are really allergic to proteins in the cat's saliva, urine, and dander (dried flakes of skin).

How do these tiny proteins cause such a big allergic reaction in the body? People with allergies have oversensitive immune systems. Their bodies mistake harmless things -- like cat dander -- for dangerous invaders, and attack them as they would bacteria or viruses. The symptoms of the allergy are the side effects of your body's assault on the allergen, or trigger.

Keep in mind that even if you don't have an actual cat allergy, your cat can still indirectly cause your allergies to flare up. Outside cats can bring in pollen, mold, and other allergens on their fur.

And what about so-called "hypoallergenic" cats? While some breeds -- like the "hairless" sphinx -- are said to be less likely to trigger symptoms of cat allergies than others, any cat has the potential to cause problems. This is true regardless of its breed, hair length, or how much it sheds. So if you know that you or another family member is allergic to cats, getting one -- no matter what the breed -- is not a good idea.

What Are the Symptoms of Cat Allergies?

Symptoms of cat allergies can include:

• coughing and wheezing
• hives or a rash on the chest and face
• red, itchy eyes
• redness of the skin where a cat has scratched, bitten, or licked you
• runny, itchy, stuffy nose
• sneezing

Symptoms of a cat allergy might develop in just a few minutes or take hours to appear. About 20% to 30% of people with allergic asthma have severe flare-ups after coming in contact with a cat.

How Do I Know if I Have a Cat Allergy?

Although the symptoms of a cat allergy may seem fairly obvious, it's not always the cat that causes them. So it's a good idea to get confirmation from your doctor. After all, you wouldn't want to blame Mr. Whiskers unjustly.

Your doctor can do a skin or blood test to see if you're allergic. However, allergy tests aren't always correct. So the doctor may also want you to try living without a cat for a few months to see how it affects your allergy symptoms.

How Are Cat Allergies Treated?

Cat allergies can usually be controlled with standard allergy drugs. Your doctor might recommend:

• Antihistamines , which are available over-the-counter -- like Claritin, Allegra, Benadryl, or Zyrtec. Some antihistamines come as nasal sprays -- for instance, Astelin.
• Decongestants , like over-the-counter Sudafed or Allegra-D.
• Other drugs, which affect allergy or asthma symptoms in various ways. Prescription steroids -- like Flonase or Nasonex sprays -- are a common treatment for allergies.

Allergy shots are another option. Allergy shots are not always effective, and completing treatment can take years. They're also not safe for children under 5. But they can be a huge help to some people. Ask your doctor if they make sense for you.

Unfortunately, there's no way to prevent an allergy. Some studies have shown that exposure to pets as a young child seems to reduce the risk of developing pet allergies later. On the other hand, a child who already has allergic tendencies may get worse with exposure to a pet.

Reducing Exposure to Cats

While medical treatment can help control cat allergies, the best approach is simple: avoid cats and their dander. Here are some tips.

• Don't touch, hug, or kiss cats. It should be obvious, but some people think a little cat contact is OK. It isn't.
• Beware of visitors who own cats. Even if your house guests leave their cats at home, they can bring the dander with them on their clothing and luggage. This indirect exposure can cause serious cat allergy symptoms in some people.
• Plan. If you have to stay in a house with cats, ask that the cat be kept out of the room in which you will sleep for a few weeks before you arrive. Also, start taking allergy medication a few weeks beforehand. Once an allergic reaction gets started, it can be tough to control. But taking medicine can prevent it from happening in the first place.

But what if you already own a cat? Here's the most sensible advice: if you or a family member has cat allergies, you shouldn't have a cat in the home.

Of course, such harsh advice may not be easy to follow. What if your kids have already fallen in love with a kitten? What if your fiancee will never, ever part with her cat? If the cat has to stay, there are other things you can try.

• Keep your distance. Limit exposure to the cat. Certainly, another family member should take responsibility for the cat's care and do things like cleaning the litter box.
• Restrict the cat to certain sections of the house. Don't allow your cat to roam free. Keep the cat out of your bedroom at all times.
• Keep the cat outdoors as much as possible. That's how some people get around their cat allergies.
• Clean rigorously and often. Cat dander gets everywhere. So you need to sweep and mop the floors, vacuum the rugs, and clean furniture regularly. Make sure to get a vacuum with a HEPA filter, because regular filters may not be fine enough to catch allergens. Get rid of carpets and drapes that can trap dander.
• Clear the air. A central air cleaner -- as well as filters on the vents themselves -- can help prevent cat dander from circulating through the house.
• Consider bathing your cat on a regular basis. Experts aren't certain if bathing really helps reduce the amount of allergen. But if it doesn't traumatize the cat too badly, you could try it and see if it reduces symptoms.

While these techniques might help, they may not be enough. As hard as it might be, if keeping your cat is putting your health -- or a family member's health -- at risk, you have to consider giving it up.

Whatever you do, don't assume that you can just wait it out, that cat allergies will naturally get better over time. They might very well get worse. Out-of-control allergies can do more than make life miserable -- they can increase the risk of asthma, which is a serious disease.

So don't ignore the signs of cat allergies. Instead, see a doctor. Together, you can figure out the best way to tackle the problem.

Keperluan Menjaga Anak-Anak Bulus

Salam korang,

Since last time ade yang request mintak aku sharekan camner aku dan En Hubby bela anak-anak bulus nie so hari nie aku akan critekan serba sedikit la ek...

Awal-awal lagi aku nak mintak hampun kalo ade info yang aku tersalah bagi... Al-maklumla aku masih dalam proses belajar lagi...

Well, anak-anak bulus nie time baby macam anak manusia gak. Perlu mengambil vaccination bagi menjaga ketahanan badan mereka.

Jenis vaccination dan schedule for the vaccination pulak korang boleh la refer kat schedule bawah nie... aku ambil schedule nie dari http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=1+2143&aid=951 

Vaccination Recommendations for Cats 

Component	Class	Efficacy	Length of Immunity	Risk/Severity of Adverse Effects	Comments
Panleukopenia	Core	High	> 1 year	Low to Moderate
Rhinotracheitis	Core	High; reduces severity and duration of disease, but does not prevent disease or the carrier state	> 1 year	Low: may see sneezing in cats given modified live vaccine	Use intranasal vaccine for faster protection
Calicivirus	Core	Variable; reduces severity and duration of disease, but does not prevent disease or the carrier state	> 1 year	Low: may see sneezing in cats given modified live vaccine
Rabies	Core	High	Dependent upon type of vaccine	Low to moderate; Lower for recombinant vaccines
Feline Leukemia	Recommended for all cats that live outside full or part time, or those living full time inside but with exposure to outside cats. Also suggested for all kittens.	Variable	Revaccinate annually for cats at risk	Vaccine-related sarcomas can develop with killed (adjuvanted) vaccines	Vaccination not recommended for cats with minimal or no risk, especially after 4 months of age; blood test prior to vaccination
Chlamydophila	Noncore	Low; reduces severity and duration of disease, but does not prevent disesae or the carrier state	< 1 year	High	Not recommended for cats at minimal or no risk
Feline Infectious Peritonitis	Noncore	Low			Not recommended
Bordetella	Noncore	Low	Short	May be more severe in kittens
Giardia	Insufficient data to comment - not recommended
Feline Immunodeficiency Virus	Insufficient data to comment - vaccinated cats should be permanently identified since they will likely have positive results if tested for FIV

A possible vaccination schedule for the 'average' indoor house cat is shown below. 

Cat Vaccination Schedule
Age	Vaccination
6-7 weeks	Combination Vaccine*
10 weeks	Combination vaccine Chlamydophila (Pneumonitis): include in combination vaccine where it is a concern.
12 weeks or older	Rabies: Given by your local veterinarian (age at vaccination may vary according to local law).
13 weeks	Combination vaccine Chlamydophila (Pneumonitis): include in combination vaccine where it is a concern. Feline Leukemia (FeLV): for kittens at risk of exposure to feline leukemia virus.
16 & 19 weeks	Combination vaccine FeLV: for kittens at risk of exposure to feline leukemia virus.
Adult (boosters)**	Combination vaccine Chlamydophila (Pneumonitis): include in combination vaccine where it is a concern. FeLV: for cats at risk of exposure to feline leukemia virus. Rabies: Given by your local veterinarian (time interval between vaccinations may vary according to law).
*A combination vaccine includes feline distemper, rhinotracheitis, and calicivirus. Some may also include Chlamydophila. **According to the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Association of Feline Practitioners, cats at low risk of disease exposure may not need to be boostered yearly for most diseases. Consult with your local veterinarian to determine the appropriate vaccination schedule for your cat. Remember, recommendations vary depending on the age, breed, and health status of the cat, the potential of the cat to be exposed to the disease, the type of vaccine, whether the cat is used for breeding, and the geographical area where the cat lives or may visit.

Selain daripada vaccination tue, kebersihan anak-anak bulus nie perlu di titik beratkan juga bagi menjaga kesihatan mereka.

Mereka perlu dimandikan dan bulu mereka perlu di groom selalu.

Kekerapan untuk memandikan anak-anak bulus nie plak bergantung kepada keadaan. Kalo yang duduk indoor jer obviously akan less mandi compare yang duduk outdoorksn. Biasanya yang outdoor nie perlu dimandikan selalu especially kalo dah start berjangkit kutu...

Anak-anak bulus nie perlu dimandikan especially bile time diorg sheds a lot. Mandi boleh bantu untuk membersihkan dander (ala-ala kelemumur laaa) dan bulu-bulu yang dah tertanggal tapi tak boleh dibuang dengan cara brush sahaja. Lepas tue kalo tuan kucing tue jenis yang allergy, dinasihatkan agar lebih kerap memandikan mereka to keep dander to a minimum.

Ade dua cara untuk memandikan anak-anak bulus nie.

1. Wet bath : yang nie kiranya mandi basah lencun la nie...sebelum dimandikan anak-anak bulus nie perlu di degrease kan dahulu bagi membuang minyak-minyak kat badan dan bulu diorg. Kucing ni pon berpeluh gak dan berminyak. Selepas itu barulah process shampoo dimulakan. Conditioner plak depends on jenis kucing. Kalo long hair condition sangat diperlukan bagi memastikan bulu mereka kekal lembut dan mudah diurus. Tapi kalo shorthair cat, tak perlu pon pakai conditioner tue... Contoh shampoo memang banyak la di pasaran. Tapi salah satu shampoo yang petshop aku highly recommend adalah brand Jerob. Mana nak dapat nie korang bley la beli di Qitta Catz.

2. Dry bath :  yang nie plak cara mudah nak mandikan diorang sebab kita hanya menggunakan shampoo yang tidak perlu dibilas. Shampoo nie boleh di dapati di pet shop juga samada dalam bentuk powder spray or foam. Untuk anak-anak bulus aku, aku pakai magic foam nie... Just apply kat badan diorg dan dikeringkan dengan tuala atau blow dry...

 

Selain mandi, mata dan telinga anak-anak bulus nie juga perlu dibersihkan. Untuk regular cleaning biasanya aku pakai saline water jer. Nak paling mudah beli jer yang contact lens punyer tue... Basahkan facial cotton atau cotton bud dan cucila mata, hidung dan telinga diorg.

Then waktu regular check-up, jika veterinarian found out that ade ear mites di dalam telinga anak-anak bulus nie, treatment perlu dilakukan segera. Biasanya veterinarian akan membekalkan kita dengan ointment or ear drop bagi eliminate the ear mite.

Bagi memastikan bulu diorg sentiasa kemas dan cantek, bulu mereka perlu di berus selalu. Especially kalo yang dari jenis longhair. Selain untuk kekemasan, memberus bulu kucing nie juga perlu bagi membuang bulu-bulu yang telah gugur terutamanya ketika sheds season.

Jenis brush bergantung kepada jenis bulu kucing tue. Kalo long hair brush yang digunakan lebih halus ala-ala berus dawai camtue... kalo kucing shorthair brush yang lebih kasar digunakan.

Brush 2 in 1, untuk longhair pakai brush yang belah bawah tue, untuk shorthair pakai brush yang belah atas

Habis crite pasal vaccination and cleaning, kite cerita plak pasal makanan anak-anak bulus nie.

Kalo kite pegi petshop, sure nampak macam-macam brand makanan untuk anak-anak bulus niekan...

Actually pemilihan makanan anak-anak bulus nie adalah bergantung kepada umur mereka, kandungan nutrien dan obviously la budget kite gak...

Macam anak-anak bulus aku, buat masa nie dry food diorg aku bagi dari brand Royal Canin kitten 36 (since diorang masih kitten lagi) dan wet food diorg dari brand Royale Fancy Feast and Dr B's raw barf or raw minced beef.

Dry food biasanya En Hubby biar jer dalam bekas makanan diorang. Kalo habis aku tambah. Untuk wet food plak En Hubby bagi sekali sehari jer dan wet food tue biasanya En Hubby akan tambah supplement. Buat masa nie kami menggunakan Transfer factor dari brand 4life untuk multi vitamins and taurine tablet. Tapi kalo pegi kat petshop ade pelbagai jenis suppliment dan ianya bergantung kepada kandungan nutrient kat dalam tue dan keperluan kucing tersebut.

Paling penting setiap hari air minum diorang wajib diganti bagi memastikan air tersebut sentiasa bersih dan sekali sekale kitorg bagi goat's milk pada anak-anak bulus kami.

Untuk pengetahuan korang, untuk litter plak biasanya seawal kitten lagi dah diajar untuk membuang di dalam litter box.

Kandungan litter box tue plak terdapat beberapa jenis antaranya pasir, silica dan organic pallet.

Then biler nak buang najis diorang nie, kite akan tapis najis tue menggunakan scoop.

Now kite crite pasal cage untuk anak-anak bulu nie plak.

Macam Beemer & Yaya kiteorg tak kurung diorang dalam cage. Biasanya kitorang lepaskan jer dalam bilik kat belakang tue time kitorg pegi keje, time balik keje lepas jer diorg main dalam rumah.

Tapi jika salah seekor sakit atau perlukan pengasingan kami akan kurung di dalam cage yang macam gambar kat bawah nie.

Kalo kiteorang travel dekat-dekat dan bawak anak-anak bulu nie, kitorang akan letak diorang dalam sturdi shelter nie.   

Sangat mudah sebab sturdi shelter nie boleh dilipat untuk disimpan. Macam yang kitorang ade nie triple shelter which boleh convert jadi long tunnel la untuk ruang budak bulus 2 ekor tue bermain.

Banyak lagi product sturdi yang menarik. Kalo korang berminat, boleh la pegi ke Qitta Catz.

Selain daripada cage nie ade lagi beberapa accessory tambahan yang boleh disediakan untuk anak-anak bulus nie termasuk toys diorang.

scratch pole

Tree house

Cat toys

Fur stick

 
Buat masa nie kalo Beemer or Yaya injured mungkin disebabkan oleh luka tergaru ker or masalah fleas, kami gunakan colloider silver untuk treatment.
 

Last sekali, in order nak angkut anak-anak bulu nie pegi grooming ke vet ker or jalan-jalan kenelah ade cat carrier.

Macam-macam brand, design yang boleh di pilih kalo pegi petshop tue.

Ada yang kotak, ade yang bentuk beg dan bermacam-macam lagi...

Rasenyer dah tue jer kot keperluan asas dan some tambahan yang diperlukan biler hendak membela kucing nie especially felines cat.

Hope info yang aku sharekan nie dapat membantu korang dalam pengambilan anak angkat bulus...
