If your cat has black bugs on their body, they are most likely fleas. Fleas are a common external parasite that seeks food on your pet and lays eggs on the skin.
Here are some signs that may indicate your cat has fleas:
1. Itching: Since fleas bite cats on their skin, they may experience itching and excessive licking.
2. Black spots: Flea droppings look like black spots and are often found on a cat's skin.
3. Catching fleas: Fleas can be found by gently combing your cat's fur or wiping their skin with a damp cloth.
In addition to fleas, there are other types of parasites that may grow on cats, such as gecko lizards, Entomophila nematodes, etc. Therefore, if you find black bugs on your cat, it is recommended to take it to the veterinarian immediately for examination and treatment.
To prevent and control fleas, you can take the following measures:
1. Flea prevention for cats: Use flea prevention measures such as medicines, sprays, collars, etc.
2. Regularly clean and disinfect the home environment: In addition to regularly combing the cat's hair, you should also clean and disinfect the floor, furniture and other surfaces in your home.
3. Regular Bathing: Bathe your cat regularly to eliminate fleas that may be hiding in the fur.
It needs to be reiterated that if your cat has worms, you should see a doctor as soon as possible to avoid worsening the condition.
