It’s not the month of the year that brings fleas out, it’s the weather. Fleas are dormant in cold weather. When it warms up, they come out. Between now and the next cold spell in the fall/winter use Frontline or Revolution on your cats each month to prevent infestation. Remember: you can still bring fleas into the home by accident on your clothes and body. However, if your cats are protected, the fleas will not infest them.

Question by Min: Can “bird netting” be used to protect pet and child on balcony in place of a “safety net”?
Need to install protection for small pet and 2 year from balcony but property mgmt wont allow anything that will require penetrating the brick etc. What

Hey, bird netting is made for protecting plants from small birds. I do not recommend you using this in place of a safety net. Your child and pet will probably get curious and pull on the net, still that being said, nothing is better than the actual product made for safety.

Question by ..: Pet safety (more specifically black cat safety) on Halloween- any tips?
I know its a ways away but Halloween is kinda big in our house, my husband’s and my favorite holiday. And this year will be our son’s first Halloween (8 months old) so we want to do it up right this year.
My only concern thus far is how we’ll keep our family pets safe for this holiday. We have a black cat, this will be his 4th Halloween. And we recently adopted a 7 year old basset hound with an anixety disorder.
As for the cat, I will admit that I am abit paranoid about keeping him safe. In the past I had another cat, and on Halloween night someone broke into my apartment and stole him. A few days later the police found a mass amount of murdered cats in our neighborhood.
His first two Halloweens I took the cat trick-or-treating for Unicef with us (he collected more donations than the rest of our charity group combined). However last year we left him with a sitter for half the night and came home before dark to pass out candy with him the other half the night.
I do live in a much better neighborhood than I did before, however I still can’t help being scared that someone will hurt my fur-baby.
He is a strictly indoor cat, so its not like he’d be roaming outside alone. He has a big carpet tower near our front window so he can see outside, I was thinking about moving it into a back room for Halloween so that no one would see him sitting in the window.
But any other tips on black cat safety would be greatly appreciated.
Our dog is a rescue, so we have no idea how he spent his last 7 Halloweens. We do however know that his previous owners weren’t very nice to him, and as a result he has an anixety disorder. Leaving him home-alone means alot of prep work if we don’t want him to bark the whole time we are gone. Taking him out in public on a normal day is fine, however we know from experiences that busy days can be alittle too scary for him.
I’m not sure leaving him home alone on Halloween would be smart either, he’s normally ok so long as we do certain things before we leave the house, however there might be trick-or-treaters knocking on our door or kids being noisey on the sidewalk outside might scare him.
I’m considering getting a sitter for half the night to stay home with him, then coming home and passing out candy the other half the night like we did last year.
I don’t want to loose out on celebrating my son’s first Halloween in a big way, but I need to kind of plan our day around the needs of our furry-family members, any advice on the subject would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Well, like you said you should get a sitter for your dog. but if your scared for your cat you should bring it with you.
