it says tht it kills fleas ticks lice and ear mites and i should consult a vet if my cat is nursing but i dont have the money to see a vet. so please help.

Is it possible that my cat has a fleas/ ticks?

Yesterday, there was a bug on her, but I’m not sure if it’s a tick. It was round and black, but it was about the size of an eraser on pencils. I also noticed her back was twitching.

She is an indoor cat, and has not encountered any other animals. The last time she went to a vet was 3.17.10. We also gave her a bath last month. Is it possible that she has fleas/ticks?

But, what’s less well known is that these blood thirsty parasites may be arriving in your backyard after traveling by air! By: Dr. Jim Humphries, Veterinary News Network Robins and many other songbirds are often the heralds of springtime and warmer weather just around the corner. Unfortunately, a new report is stating these welcome spring visitors are quite possibly spreading a serious disease of humans and pets… Lyme Disease! When most people think about Lyme Disease, they automatically think about the eastern seaboard of the United States. While it is true that states near Connecticut account for almost 90% of all cases reported, Lyme Disease can be found in all 50 states and is truly a global disease. Ticks are the primary vector for spreading Lyme Disease to people and also to dogs, cats and even horses. Usually, ticks will acquire the disease causing bacteria by feeding on infected rodents, the primary reservoir. Deer also play an important role as expanding populations import large numbers of ticks into new areas of the country. But now, researchers at Yale have found that robins, blue jays and other common birds are also reservoirs of this illness. Furthermore, the nymph and larval stages of the tick life cycle can be carried by the birds

my chow is 8(about 40-42lbs) my pit bull is 5(is about 60-70lbs) and my cat is 1(dont know her wieght but she just turned 1 last month)
we live in the woods. we own 63 acres. and they run every where. and we went for a walk and the dogs brought some in. i have a chow chow and a pit bull. the ticks dont really go on my chow cuz she has a thick coat. but they love my pit bull. and my cat is one and she is outside everyday, catching mice and moles. then brings them in to show us what she caught. lol. and plays with it when its dead. whats the best to use.
and ferrets too.

whats the best way to keep them off of us too???? bug spary?

He(or she) takes five minutes to respond when you call him,he doesn’t jump around like a maniac every time he hears a noise,he knows no tricks,he isn’t fazed by fleas or ticks, a cat can bite his ear and jump on him and he wouldn’t react,he’ll put his head on your(or in your) lap and go to sleep,he doesn’t need fancy dog food…
