Luna enjoyed the sunshine on my place. When I took this picture she doesn´t know what I would find in her fur....Poor Luna.....
I found this when I stroke her fur....
...and this....
She had lots of ticks all over... in the fur on her ears....it is not easy to remove the vermin with her long fur...
I wonder why she has so many tick because she has Frontline and Prac-tice alternately...
Olli and Luzie have no problems with ticks... I think the ticks loves Luna, because they can more hide in the fur. It is easier to find the ticks in white fur.
Here you can see Olli and Luzie playing in the kids garden.Maybe someone has a better idea what I can do against the ticks ???
*Happy Tuesday!*

The picture of Luna relaxing looks so peaceful - but the ticks are awful!
Ollie and Luzie seem to be having lots of fun in the garden.
Oh...poor Luna! Luckily you found the ticks fast. Pls get rid of it all from her! My kitties uses Frontline too. It should be good. Maybe hot weather promotes it more.Hope its gone by now!
OH no!!! That made-ed my mommas skin crawl... I wish we had some ideas for you.. hat is part reason why momma makes us indoor kittehs.. though we do go for a walk in the backyard with her now and again but after seeing this I think she is going to revoke that too...
Poor little Luna...

Oh no! Poor Luna!!! I'm glad you got those nasty ticks off of her!
Poor little LUna! So sorry!But I bet you are okay now because you have a sweet mommy who loves you a lot and takes care of you with dedication.

Poor Luna! Those ticks look bad!!! We never got a tick but the MM did when he went away to a strawbale building weekend in an area with a lot of deer. The grass was swarming with them. There were a couple in the car too and one was found on top of the wee lad's bed. Must have came in from the car. Make sure you check out the house.
What woodland creatures have them around your place? Keep the grass short if possible.
Hope it was just a bad patch and they are gone now!

Oh those ticks just make my skin crawl too! My ds is very good about checking all the cats for the pesky creatures. Those are some big ones, too! What is that you are using to get them off?
It's so good you found them! Icky ticks.
I did a lot of reasearch on natural cat food and you can add a little garlic to her food, fresh or dried, and just a tiny bit (if she'll eat it) to discourage the ticks from biting her because she won't taste as good. I've done this with my own cats.
You can also add nutritional yeast, which they like sprinkled over their food as it's very tasty. One or both of these should help.
You can also buy as a supplement but it will be more expensive:

I bought the nutritional yeast at Whole Foods or the health food store in the bulk aisle.
Poor Luna! One thing we have done before is add a teaspoon of vinegar into their water bowl. It's an old folk remedy, but it worked for us to reduce ticks and fleas.
Using frontline is good too.
Poor Luna - we hope that those ticks leave you alone!
What a pretty garden you all have to enjoy and it looks like nice weather.

Oeps those ticks looking very auwwwwwwwwwwwie ;(
Give Luna a big Hug from us !!
Olli & Luzie are playing so lovely in the garden, its here raining today and its cold!!
purrss and hugs to all ^__^
Oh no, poor Luna. I hope you were able to remove them all.
It looks like she was still comfortable sitting there, at least.
Oh poor sweet Luna they look awful. I am glad I dont get those in my yard. I hope you find a solution.
Hugs GJ x
Hallo Stefanie, sie sind wirklich unheimlich ätzend in diesem Jahr, die Zecken. Ich habe unseren auch Frontline verpasst, 2 x schon. Trotzdem, erst gestern Abend habe ich bei Maxi wieder 9 und bei Nicki 7 fiese Tiere entfernt. Sie tun einem richtig leid, die Pelze.
Wünsche Euch noch eine schöne Woche. LG Birgit
Luckily we don't have so many ticks here in London. FAZ
I really do NOT like ticks - our cats don't go out so they never get them, but I sometimes do. I hope you can find something that can help poor Luna!
Oh mann, die Zecken sehen richtig fies aus. Bei Hausmitteln wäre ich vorsichtig: Meines Wissens nach ist Knoblauch GIFTIG für Katzen, über Essig im Trinkwasser weiß ich nichts. Der Tipp, das Gras kurz zu halten erscheint mir sehr sinnvoll... Arme Luna! Vielleicht hat der Tierarzt noch mehr Tips? Ich muss auf jeden Fall auf Siena achten! Letzes Jahr hatte übrigens ich eine Zecke...
Falls meine Sämereien nicht angehen, komme ich nochmal auf Dich zurück, okay? ; )
Liebe Grüße aus Köln,
Britta & die Mädels
Poor Luna. I hope that is the end of them for her - it doesn't look like fun for her. I wish I had some ideas but my kitties stay indoors, so I can't help. I do think she looked happy sitting out there, and Luzie and Olli looked like they were having fun too.
Oh poor Luna! Ticks give me goosebumps, I hate them! When my hubby goes hiking through the woods he always has them on his body and it just makes me cringe! I don't know what to tell you for poor Luna since you're using good products to prevent them but I did want to commiserate with you. Ticks! Yuck!
Sorry to hear about the ticks. We don't go outside a lot, but I think the advantage we use helps against them too.
Oh no!! ewwwie Luna!!
Ticks are icky worse than fleas I think. Now you have to be checked all the time, you poor girl. I do not want you to get sick!
I think you are lucky to play in the yard and frolic in the garden
Oh dear!
I seriously didn't know that ticks will actually survive on cats! They look more like a doggie pest...
Hope Luna feels better by now!
