Hello everyone, today I saw a news that there is a community in Beijing with a lot of fleas
As a result, the first reason for the increase in fleas in this news is attributed to stray cats
So what I hope to do
Because there are people in the community who feed stray cats, so that stray cats increase and gather, stray cats have fleas on them, so people are bitten by fleas and blame stray cats
I think some people might use this reason to hurt stray cats
And people do get bitten by fleas at home, what to do?
I thought for a moment that cats have coexisted with humans for probably thousands of years
There are also cats living in crowded places abroad, and I checked how foreigners deal with this problem
There are also concerns in foreign countries that fleas and ticks can spread to humans
How did foreign experts answer it?
First, the impact of fleas on stray cat populations can easily be misunderstood and exaggerated
And the tick problem she rarely encountered
Foreign countries sometimes mistakenly try to link flea-borne diseases to stray cats to justify killing cats
Because there are many hosts of fleas, not only cats, stray cats will also avoid people
Second, can not feed the cat, let the cat not eat enough, unhealthy can solve the problem? Not really
When cats are malnourished or weak, they are more likely to develop infections
Third, the feeder should not only feed, but also humanely catch the cat for sterilization
In this way, the cat will not be more and more, the female cat will not be more likely to have parasites because of pregnancy weakness, or even die in danger, and the cat will not be in heat, shouting and disturbing the people

Fourth, there are also methods in addition to fleas
Is there any way to keep a cat free of fleas?
If you can trap the cage to catch the cat, or are very familiar with the cat, you can use the drops of domestic Mo Aijia, which is expelled from home to body and outside, and the cat can be used in 9 weeks
If you can't touch the cat, you can buy oral Nop star mixed in the grain, you can also drive fleas, four weeks old, pregnancy can also be used
However, Nopu Star cannot destroy flea eggs and needs to be used continuously
It involves using anthelmintics, and if there are people around you who are also feeding the cat, make sure that the other party is not taking the same medication at the same time
Also calculate the number of cats and the dosage of the drug
Not only to clean up the fleas on the cat, but also to clean up the environment's fleas
You can buy some food-grade diatomaceous earth, put it in the place where fleas are infested, and you can also physically kill fleas safely, which must be food-grade
Some essential oil environmental insect repellent sprays have also been recommended before, which can be sprayed in cat-infested areas
Wash and replace the water bowl and food bowl fed to the cat every day
Clean up some dark, unventilated areas of the community and throw away the garbage piled up in the community
Fifth, how to feed, but also pay attention
For example, you can feed at a fixed time, do not put too much cat food, and leave it for only 30 minutes at most, so that wild animals will not eat it, and many wild animals are the more common hosts of parasites
In short, whether you love people or cats, you can't rely on your own love alone, you also need knowledge and ability
Of course, I'm a pet blogger, and I'm born with a stand for cats and dogs
However, if there are fleas today, our public opinion, the mainstream media do not talk about science, do not reason, one-size-fits-all blame on the cat
After that, when it comes to other things, the one-size-fits-all approach may be everyone who is watching this video
And a thing can be on the hot search, can be on the news, it proves that this is a small probability of things
There are stray cats all over the world, and I hope that we will treat them with a more scientific attitude, rather than being taken by the hot search
That's it for today, thank you
