Ownership/care of feral cats (and dogs)?

[Cataholic]

I thought mixing dog and cat pest control stuff was dangerous???

There are some Cat and Dog products that cant be mixed but Advantage from what My Vet tells me is the same, you just use more on a Dog , and only so much depending of the size and weight of your Cat.

And I have those issues a lot with Porch Cats as someones not caring for thier Cats and there are more Cats who are dead now from FELV and FIP or careless drivers.
And sadly I seem to have to be the one who calls in Animal Control for the Momma to be like Scrappy Apple and Katherine Lee Sterling, and Karina Angel.
Thank God I got them in where they can have thier Babies safely.

Cats -- and especially cats used to being outdoors -- can get collars caught on shrubbery. They are pretty good and learning to escape! If the collar has the safety breakaway snap, it is pretty easy, too. But I don't think flea collars have that type of catch.

So you may be "barking" up the wrong tree re the neighbor.

I liked the idea of bringing them all IN, and even the idea of using a spot on rather than a collar. Flea collars are not very effective.

If you can handle the cats to put on a collar, you should be able to manage the topical stuff. It does cost a bit more.

And as someone pointed out, products are labeled DOG, CAT, DOG AND PUPPIES, CAT AND KITTENS, DOG CAT PUPPY AND KITTEN. Make sure you use the right ones.
