Catching a feral cat
This is a feral cat (3yo female) that lives in my garage. She hangs around but will not let me touch her. Her hair is starting to get matted and she has fleas. I need to get her to a vet but can not get her into a cat carrier. I have tried food and catnip. No luck. She had kittens a little over a year ago and they are great. She let me pet her for awhile after they were born. That was the last time she was at the vets. Is there anyway I can help her? She is darting around the yard like a crazy cat. Because of the fleas. She needs help. Thank you in advance. |

Cat losing hair with itchy skin
About a month ago my female neutered Siamese mix cat lost all the shine in her coat of long hair, and refuses to come into the house, preferring to remain in the garage. She is shedding her hair and it comes out in big clumps. The skin on her back near her tail is flaking off, like large dandruff, and the hairs have tiny black things on them near the base. This area is very itchy and when it is touched, she goes into an involuntary biting spasm. She also has small scabs on her skin spread all over her body. - Click
