fleas

[Beanmistriss]

Right I have been reading up and apparently all cats bring fleas so there is no way it is coming inside! I did put one of those flea treatments on the back of the cats neck last night. Looking closer though I can't actually see any fleas so perhaps what I thought was fleas eggs on my arm after I picked it up was sand or something?

So my question - if the cat had fleas would I be able to see them when I looked in its fur?

am willing to bet that if you keep this wee cat-it will find its way into your house,and your heart. Cats are lovely creatures,and know when they are loved.....and come winter there is nothing like a warm pussy purring on your lap ;-))

You got a point Tambourine but anybody who had neglected a mog would be on thin ice proving enticement- especially if there wasn't an obvious feeding left dish around. Its well accepted that many cats have alternative homes, however well they are cared for.

By the way I also treasure "my" garden birds, and the bank voles in the rockery- all well protected by a Border Terrier.

Although Schutzengel is right about what is most usually the difference between male and female cat behaviour, I used to have a female (Siamese) cat, who had been neutered as a kitten, but she lifted her tail and sprayed - mostly outside when she smelt a rival cat on her territory.

Also, male cats, even when given the snip, can also continue to spray - though it smells a lot less offensive that full-male pee!
