hi,i wanna ask that i have a cat that he used to have flea problem, and i used to front line to him and flea shapoo,but sometimees he scratch and bit his tail?what is it mean?
also my mother cat she gave birth on is 12/7/2008 and there is something like black round around her nippels, shall shower her , what those black or brown around her nipples mean?
Biting the tail is normal, some even bite the 2 back legs.also my mother cat she gave birth on is 12/7/2008 and there is something like black round around her nippels, shall shower her , what those black or brown around her nipples mean?
Some believe it was a normal cleaning process. Some believe it was happen because of stress (like geram). All my cats do that
. my vet told me its normal, like all cats will do that, just like biting their finger/nails - to clean that part.but, if you see that fur around the tail become botak, then something wrong, ringworm love tails part, so do fleas and tick.
and cat tail which is near to the private part, there's a hormone thinggy going on over there. if your cat is on heat, they will produce something look like oil. that area sometime makes it itchy.
if there's no fleas or anything, you dont have to worry.
if there's no blood or luka luka, you dont have to worry
by the way, MITES (in bahasa - HAMA) may also love to be at the oil part of the cat tail... MITES or HAMA will also make the tail itchy.
-----------------------
For me to reduce this mites (hama) which make the cat body gatal2, i will atleast bath them one time a week. untill they slow down biting their body.
I will first your cat shampoo that have "tea tree", and then use cat shampoo that have "oatmeal".
Oatmeal shampoo i use the bak2basic brand. made from plant and nature which is good, less chemical stuff. oatmeal is good for the skin. put more on the tail if you see them biting it more than other part of the body.
if its stick to the skin also no problem. like fleas shampoo you must wash the body very clean so it won't stay on the skin.
Hope i can help you slow down the biting activity.
------------------------
black black around nipples is normal for female cat that milking her kittens. all will have that. it come from the kitten mouth while sucking the nipple, when the saliva dry it become black like "daki". mother will clean it automatically when she lick her self.
good hygiene mother will manage to clean them self, but not for some female cats, they have problem cleaning them self. which may need your help or take sometimes. after 3-4 months, if your female cat is not pregnant anymore, the fur around her nipples will grow back
no need to worry This post has been edited by elfreakz: Aug 22 2008, 11:37 PM
