My cat is constantly scratching, could she have fleas?

Yes, your cat could have fleas, however it would be best to make an appointment with your vet/vet nurse to check her over in case it is another skin complaint. If she has got fleas, then your vet will be able to adivise you on what tratment would be most suitable for your cat. It is also recommended that you treat your house as well. Some animals are highly allergic to flea saliva and can cause themselves horrific injury with constant scratching/biting so it is important to use year round flea prevention in these cases. You should also worm your cat if it has fleas as tapeworms are associated with fleas.

How soon can I get my male kitten neutered?

most male and female cats can be neutered at 6 months of age. Taking your cat to the vet for a checkup first is highly recommended to ensure he is in good shape for an anaesthetic and also that both his testicles have decended.
