How do I help my cat?

Answer by  Elina (123)

Those are probably fleas. Go to the pet shop and buy a special collar against fleas. Put it around her neck. Fleas will go away in a few days.

Take her to the vet. They will be able to diagnose the problem. Sometimes cats have an allergic reaction to plastic and need their bowls changed to metal.

Those little black bugs are usually fleas. They can infest your house, they can cause her to be anemic and sicken. Get a good flea product like Advantage, and call your vet for advice on treatment. Don't believe that fleas are normal for a cat, and PLEASE, teach your cat to be an indoor animal, if will save her life.

It depends on what kind of bugs they are. If they're fleas, there are many treatment options to consider. If you're not sure what bugs they are, I would just take your cat to the vet and ask them about it.

I just recently found a good and natural way to get rid of fleas off a cat, and this probably would work for other external parasites too. Find someone either online or at a local bulk food store who can make you some lavender soap, then rub the soap all around the cat. It is safe for cats to lick.
