uhmm pretty bad to have persian as outdoor pets. im pretty sure what you meant was domestic long hair right?
flea is the worst night mare. getting rid of it, is so hard. some more kucing you outdoor. that's even 10 times nightmare.
that thing dia bubuh belakang leher tu is something like frontline spot on. this thing akan meresap dalam kulit, and can stand for 2-3 months. bila kutu sedut darah kucing melalui kulit, dia akan terus terkena racun tu dah mati. but since your cat is outdoor cat yang berkeliaran, kutu akan sentiasa ada, tapi akan mati.
so your case is like, flea visiting dan mati, but another new flea akan merayap atas dia sebab dia hidup bebas.
unless your cat is indoor duduk dalam rumah, flea datang -> mati -> terus hilang.
many people thinking indoor cat are kesian, seperti di dera. but you need to remember, pets means indoor. they living more better than outside animal. by having your pets to stay indoor means you give enough care. why? because staying indoor is so much better than roaming outside. di luar banyak bakteria, kuman, binatang lain yang merbahaya seperti anjing, racun, manusia yang kejam, kereta lalu lalang. so staying inside adalah tempat paling selamat untuk seekor haiwan peliharaan.
beside, sekarang banyak jual permainan kucing untuk menghiburkan hati dorang dalam rumah.
kalau you nak bunuh kutu tapi still nak kucing tu berkeliaran, i think its very very hard. why? sebab tadi, kutu hinggap mati, dan kutu baru dari luar akan ikut kucing tu. bila dia ikut, dia masuk rumah kita, kutu akan hinggap pada kita, atau pun barang2 di dalam rumah. ingat, kutu boleh membiak pada karpet rumah kita.
the only solution is to keep your cat as indoor cat, baru you boleh mati kan kutu2 tu, dan tak akan datang lagi.
but since that cat is not yours, i think u better give back him/her to your neighbor and please ask them to jaga that cat as pets not as stray cat (kucing liar).
thanx for the reply! But i don't think im gonna return her back to the owner!!they wont take care of her!plus,there is a male cat(pasangan dia la),she scared of him!i think thats why she came and living here with us sbb we all akan protect dia bila kucing lain dtg.
lgpun the doc kata the cat selalu lepak kat our hse tu myb sbb die rasa selesa and secure.
ok,so if i just let her stay indoor for now will the fleas gone??
so that i don't need to take her to the vet or bath her ke???
sbb u said ubat bertahan 2-3months kan..
kalau tak i nak mandikan dia esok jgk or bring her to the vet clinic(since weekend vet tutup!)
one more thing,u kata kutu boleh membiak pada carpet and stuff dlm rumah kan,so xde ke solution utk kills all the fleas yg dlm rumah?
my relative is having the same problem,and the doc asked them to use sabun kutu yg utk kucing tu and basuh lantai&carpet dgn sabun tu.will it work?????
another problem is,like i said die ada kena kurap sblm ni.After that die turun berat bdn sgt2 and sekarang kurang mkn..
she's really2 fussy!but i still can tolerate la dgn perkara mcm tu.
Tp die kuat tido la..thats make me so worry!pemals betul,tp nampak mcm ok jee..
doc kata better bg the biscuits one than the can food.
oh ya!i dunno lah if she is a domestic long hair ke apa..
whats the difference??
do u have any website that i can see(pic would be better) the breeds of every cats in the world??
thanks a lot!
