Black cat
Joe King asked:


Being black she is at increased risk of being run over at night. White would show up more at night. Better still maybe some of those bright hair colours people seem to dye their hair with Maybe I should have got a white cat in the first place. The other idea is to fit her with a bright orange jacket like motorway workers use, this may be much better than hair bleach which could harm the cat if she licks it off.
I am not serious by the way. I asked this question to get some funny answers

Did you know that there is no safe treatment for heartworm disease in cats?

Did you know giving a monthly preventative is the only way to protect your cat against this life threatening disease?

Did you know that indoor cats are just as at risk if not more than outdoor cats?

-As prevelant as Felv/Fiv
-signs include coughing,vomiting,gagging,weight loss
-Cats can be treated with prednisone but still face the risk of sudden death when a heartworm dies.
-Monthly preventative heartgard,interceptor,revolution and adavantage monthly are effective against heartworm disease.

This is not just another way for a vet to make money. It is a deadly disease that can be prevented.
