Cat “Maintenance”
Three weeks ago, we conducted a so-called “CAT MAINTENANCE” in the shelter. We gave the cats their yearly baths. Yes, this is just a once-a-year event since cats are generally vain. They groom themselves. Watch out for cats who are filthy looking and doesn’t seem to groom itself for it might be suffering from an illness.
We also deworm the cats every 2 to 3 months. We also check their ears at least once a month for signs of earmites. Ear mites are tiny crab like parasites, if left untreated, can cause a bacterial and yeast infections and, in extreme cases, rupture of the ear drum leading to seizures and deafness. Ear mites (Otodectes cynotis) are the most common cause of outer-ear inflammation in cats – especially kittens and young cats. Frequent ear scratching and head shaking are the most often seen symptoms.
