Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That's what they keep trying to hint at, but...
Mine seem to helpfully present theirs to my face whenever I'm trying to nuzzle them, so I guess they're vigilant about the potential problem. Yay?
So, is the moral of this story "Look at your cat's butt more"?
I mean, possibly, but I'm going to stick with "Bring a new cat to the vet."
Sadly, I took Fleabie to the vet when I got her but the tapeworms manifested afterwards. Apparently it takes a while between ingesting the infected fleas and the development of the worms. But it depends on the type of worms.
So maybe I did the right thing after all????
Round worms are another flea-bourne possibility.
It's probably good to take a new cat to the vet first thing, but it's not going to catch everything. I'd had cats all by life but hadn't run across tapeworms before so I wasn't aware of what to look for afterwards.
And you are NOT the first buffista pet owner to have a wormy pet, I assure you.
Yeah.
Timelies all!
Took Mr. S to a birthday party for the daughter of friends of ours. Of course he was a wild man, getting into everything. (Gary's away on a business trip until Tuesday night. sigh.)
