That's a lot of pet related days in April. Wonder why there is no prevention of lyme disease for cats day.

Chris Ann Cleland ~ if there is such a day, Chris Ann, it's not in April, but I didn't check. If there's not, I suppose the assumption is there are fewer cats outdoors than dogs, but we know that's not necessarily true.

Thank you for the list Nina, good stuff! I found 3 ticks on our outdoor kitty and pulled them out of her fur before they became 'attached' to her. A lot of people are not aware that animals can get Lyme disease too.

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin ~ hi Wanda... indeed people do forget that the ticks can attach to any creature outdoors. Glad you caught those on your kitty before it became worse.

Debbie Reynolds ~ thanks, Debbie... dog lovers are loyal, but cat lovers are as well. When one of my best friends was dying of brain cancer her biggest concern was that her cats be taken care of after she was gone.
