LingZhi for Your Cats (or Pets).

I have cats. A lot of them. Short hair, Long hair, Persian, Siamese, you name it. I have (or had) all of them. I've been wanting to have a Scottish Fold! Haven't got the chance, yet. Maybe because haven't got enough fund to afford one! Haha. Any free Scottish Fold? Ehem. So. It started since 1994. My cousin gave us these two most adorable cats - Garfield and Simba. Both were male, orange, long hair, cute and playful. Garfield is the skinnier one (I know, he should be that big, fat, lazy) and Simba grew up looking fierce but he's not that really.

Then, came along Smokey, a pure persian, female, grey, very fierce but cute. She's Mom's most favourite. So that's when the family tree started. After about 15 years of becoming a very successful cat-breeder, I'm proud (or not?) to announce that to date, we have 21 cats under one roof. Yes. *Clap clap*. Through out the years, Mom has been the main person behind the scene. She's been taking care of all of them everyday, went back and forth to the clinic when one got sick, doctor for mommycats delivering babies ... She's been everything to the kitties. I only adore them when they're cute and when they grew bigger, I don't get too attached. Simply because I used to have one cat that I truly love and suddenly she died which really upset me and I never want to go through that same feeling again. Yes, I AM that emotional. Sue me.

We've had cats with leukimia, kidney disease, stone in the bladder, caesared for delivery, spayed, FIV, etc. Not that we're proud with any of these diseases / complications, but we truly understand how cats too can suffer from all the chronic / critical diseases like human do. 

When I first started to become conscious of my health, one of my male cats - Junior, was having difficulty to urinate. This had also happened to another cat which I used to have. Everytime it occured, Mom would take him to the vet to suck the stones from his bladder. After that, he needs to be fed with a good (expensive) food to avoid the stones from occuring again. But after a while, we couldn't afford to feed him with that good food anymore, and the stones will re-appear and need to be sucked again. It was painful. It has to be! Imagine sucking something hard and larger from your bladder passage. Ouch! 

With the simple understanding of how LingZhi can normalize our body system at that time, I boiled some Lu Chun LingZhi Tea which consists of 5% of Jia Hor LingZhi and give it to him for a few days. The first day consuming the tea, a few droplets of blood was spotted when he tried to pee. Few days later, the blood became thinner and watery. About a week after the tea consumption, he can pee freely till now. I still check his voiding habit from time to time and it seems OK now. Am very proud with his improvement. :)

Recently, I fed one of my nursing cats (yes, there are more than 1 nursing mom now) with Jia Hor Soy Protein. She likes the taste but I don't give her everyday. Maybe because I too need that Protein and can't afford (yet) to sponsor it as her daily health-food. ;P 

Other than that, I also used to feed some of my sick cats with YungKien LingZhi, YungKien Pollen and Jia Hor Nutri-Health Tablet. All the products are 100% natural so there's nothing to be worried about. It's much much better than some people who give Panadol to their sick cats. Erk. Please do not give Panadol! Even if you think it's necessary, just give 1/8 of the tablet! Not that whole large one!

The lighter and easier way is to boil a pot of Lu Chun LingZhi Tea and distribute it to all the water bowls. This way, your cats will at least have something in the body to remove the toxins from the cheap cat food available in the market which contains colouring and preservatives. 

Cats too need to be healthy, you know. ;P
