In the US, white people are banned from hunting seals, even though they're widely available. But indians are free to kill them whenever.

You can thank the cat people for that. Some of the cat people unironically ran a five year long campaign to kill the dog general because some of the posters said dogs were smarter than cats, cats didnt belong outside, and cats were not effective pest control (all of those statements are scientifically proven facts). This degraded the entire board because other posters didnt just see /dog/ being spammed and get the ick. Eventually a few catfags spammed the catalog with CP and duplicate /dog/ threads to try and force mods to delete the real one.

And of course, all because of this

Straight to the point- my cat has run in to fleas for the first time. I didn't notice it until there was a problem. It's being addressed; diatomaceous earth all over the house, yada yada.

That said, I was looking in to over-the-counter sprays to help her, and all of them contain essential oils. It would appear essential oils, even in miniscule, distilled amounts can be toxic to cats. However, there seems to be a lot of misinformation and disinformation on the topic.

I should refrain from using any anti-flea products containing essential oils? How bout Cedarwood oil too? It is marketed as non-toxic or less-toxic, is this true? Should I just refrain from using all products containing any essential oils due to the phenol in them?

I appreciate your opinion, I've just never had to deal with anything like this with mah baby, and I want to make sure I get this addressed without jeopardizing her health. Also, any tips that aren't widely publicized on battling fleas are welcome. Thank you.

Go to vet and get real medicine to kill off the infestation. Afterwards focus on prevention with all the other stuff. Just trust me and go get the good stuff from the vet.

DE does not work very well, and fucking sucks to work with.

I have handled cedar wood. It is extremely aromatic and small quantities of the oil irritate my skin. The smell in enclosed spaces is overpowering. I don't think you should treat your animals with it. That said, it is a quite effective insect repellant.

Orange cats are very famous for having questionable and bad behavior. I have seen orange cats doing orange cats things on every video on the internet and IRL. So, I wondered how people can deal with them.

I took my old kitty to the vet for the first time and it was very stressing for both and I feel very bad.

So my kitty has been sick for I don't know how long, she just moved a little bit less and ate less and less and I just thought that "Well, she's just getting into old kitty metabolism" but I got worried and took her to the vet.
It was very sudden and stressful, couldn't even get her used to the carrying kennel, worse when they tried to get a blood sample but couldn't.
She's back home, asleep on her favorite spot purring-soothing.
They told me she's very underweight and maybe her diet needs more specialized food.
But she's too stressed now to eat the new food and I have to take her back tomorrow for the blood sample and that would be 3 days in a row where she has to purr-sooth herself.
Any recommendations?
She still ate and drank a bit today but it was the food the vet told us to not give her anymore.

She's resting right now awake and purring-soothing, she usually sleeps on the beds of the family but lately only mine, she did eat a little bit, I mixed the new food with a little bit of juice of the old food but didn't eat a lot, I'm gonna try later.
She did drink a lot more than in the past days.

I really don't wanna do it to her tomorrow again but I need to be certain of the results of her blood work.
Hopefully this is the last time in a long time

Have a similar issue, it was her kidney in my cat's case, she had to endure some days of getting medication and feeding trough IV so if it comes to that it'll depend on how well your cat can handle that type of stress.

Hi guys, thanks a lot for the attention.
It has been.... frustratingly confusing.
The vet actually told me that we shouldn't do the blood studies right now as she needs time to recover from yesterday's visit and that it's very likely her diet only.

>As for food she didn't eat a lot last night but she was very relaxed.
>This morning when I woke up she wasn't interested but seemed more energetic and woke up to pee.
>During the afternoon when I was at work my teen sister fed her and apparently she ate a lot by current standards, almost a third of a tuna can.
>I tried to feed her a bit more when I came from work but again she isn't interested, she likes the smell, licks a little and resumes to rest.
>Check the water bowl and she did drink a lot of water.

Maybe she's just still full from the afternoon tuna and water but she looks weak again.
Maybe I'm fucking up because she expects the food in her old plate that I've been avoiding for being cumbersome and rather leaving small human plates at her level.

I heard that it was common for cat recovery to not be linear and have it's up and downs as she regulates but I'm not sure.
