Hi everyone. I'm in Portugal where the weather has started to change before we go into our rainy season, however, the sun still shines during the day to warm things up.
I have an 8 year old female feline-Storm (named with just cause). She is an outdoor/indoor cat and sleeps by my feet everynight. She's a hunter. Just tonight she brought a big mouse into the house as a present.
I had never seen a tick before in my life until I moved here. I have been forced to Frontline her every 4 weeks to keep her tick and flea safe. My vet says no problem, but of course this just can't be right.
But-she has ticks-I found 2 blood filled critters on her today. GROSS. I'm wondering if she has become immune to Frontline Combo as I have quite a few unusual bites on my body. Is my bed infested with fleas? Do fleas have a 'season'? Is there a safe yet effective way of dealing with this problem? I haven't dare tell my husband this news. She's really my cat and he would flip!
Before you respond-consider that I live in Portugal. Most people don't have animals as pets in the house and can not afford to have their animals spayed and neutered.
Can cats transmit skin disorders to humans as I was told?
Thank you for your help and consideration
