Nowadays, many people keep cats at home. Cats are also very cute animals. But some people love cats so much that they even sleep with them. In this case, will the cat bring some problems to people? Some people say, I am worried about this cat. Although I bathe it all the time, will it infect me with other diseases, or will it infect me with other diseases? What about parasites? How do poop scavengers correctly drive away parasites from cats? Let’s take a look with the editor next!

1. My family lives in a high-rise, and my cat never goes out, so I don’t need to deworm them.

Living in a high-rise does not mean that there are no mosquitoes and cockroaches. These insects Cats are also carriers of parasites, and cats may be infected by eating these insects. Moreover, cats do not go out, nor do they live in a vacuum. Cats go out every day, and there is a high chance that their clothes and shoes will be contaminated with parasites and eggs. Once the cat comes into contact, it may be infected.

2. The cat has been vaccinated, so there is no need for deworming

Vaccination is mainly to prevent cats from contracting infectious diseases such as rabies and feline distemper. Deworming cats is to prevent or kill parasites on cats. These are two different aspects of cat health and cannot be confused.

It should be noted that it is best to wait more than a week between vaccination and cat deworming to avoid drug interactions and cause adverse reactions.

3. Just use one kind of cat anthelmintic medicine

Cats have both internal and external parasites, so deworming We cannot generalize. We can choose internal anthelmintic drugs combined with external anthelmintic drugs or a combination of internal and external anthelmintic drugs. Internal anthelmintic drugs are generally tablets, and you need to open the cat's mouth to administer the drug. Novices may easily be scratched by the cat if they do not use it properly. In comparison, I personally recommend the internal and external deworming product of Bioline. You only need to drop the liquid on the skin of the cat's shoulder and neck area, and the cat's deworming can be completed in 1 minute. Because it is a four-effect compound formula, common parasites on cats, such as fleas, ticks, ear itch mites, tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms, etc., can be killed without using other cat anthelmintics, which is very convenient.

4. I dewormed my cat before, do I need to deworm it again in the future?

The answer is yes, we must drive it out! Because the effectiveness of common cat anthelmintics generally lasts about one month, and most parasites on cats have a relatively short growth cycle, such as the shortest growth cycle of fleas is only 14 days, and the shortest growth cycle of ear mites is only 16 days. In just one month, the parasites are likely to come back, so it is best to deworm your cat on time every month.

5. Cats bathe frequently and are very clean, so they don’t need to be dewormed.

This idea is also wrong. Bathing can only wash away the dirt on the cat's body surface, but it cannot kill the parasites. Common external parasites such as fleas and lice are so tenacious that even water cannot drown them. Moreover, bathing cannot affect internal parasites, so cats must be bathed regularly and dewormed on time.

The above are some common misunderstandings and correct practices on how to prevent and kill parasites in cats. Cats infected with parasites can harm their health at least, and may be life-threatening at worst, and they will lose their beloved pets. Therefore, everyone must remember to deworm the cat on time. Don’t wait until the cat is sick before deworming. It will be too late.
