Questioning short outside time in Feb

Questions regaurding harness/lesh outside time.

On this thursday/friday its supposed to be unuseally warm for northern Minnesoda. 40/50 degrees. Can I take Bindi out for a short walk in my backyard, He has no flea medication in him now/ but is neutered and trained well for harness./lesh walking. Would fleas be an issue in feb?http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/ima...s/confused.gif

This summer I plan on walking him and will use frontline on both cats but in feb do I have to worry..

I'm sure it would probably be ok, but I lost my Alley to a tick transmitted disease in December so I am super paranoid now and would probably not let them out at all. Alley did have flea/tick treatments, but it only took one bite..

Thank you, I think my backyard is too tame for ticks but I will keep this in mind, Feb flea issues sounds pritty bazare in northern minnisoda esspeically after 13 below windchill and dry enough air to makle your nose hairs stick. http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/ima...laughing02.gif. I will keep a close watch on him, Thinking about taking Tom to the vet this thursday so might not have time.

Should be fine for about 5/10 mins as long as he's not really sitting in snow. My first cat Mitten used to play in snow - I'd let him out for about 5 mins and when he came in would make sure his feet/legs were dried and check between toes for any snow/ice.

There are no fleas outside in MN right now - only ones that might be around are those inside the house

Its gonna be THAT high in St. Paul? We are in southwest MN and its only gonna get about 35 over here

Yes it is, I'm happy I cannot wait for winter to end.http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/ima...laughing02.gif
