Ivermectin use in cats?

[sourland]

Something is going on, and I haven't been able to figure it out just yet. Scaredy has become elusive once again. She's not shy when she is about, but she is not about very much. I thought that after all these years she might have had kittens, but I saw her yesterday, and she does not appear to be nursing. I'm wondering if there are coyotes in the area.

I have used ivermec on one of my barncats. He apparently had some kind of skin mites, so as a last resort, I dosed hime with ivermec,.)08% sheep drench, three drops to the back of theneck, his skin irritation cleared up--he is fine.

Scaredy made contact with the Princess yesterday, and allowed the Princess to pet her today. Her 'safe zone' is the walkway from the parking area to the deck and the deck steps. She will not allow me to touch her unless she is in her safe zone.

Once again she loves me. I have been forgiven.

They also know, DO NOT SHOOT THE CAT !

She sure is...I guess she knew a good home when she found one!

At that point in the game, I think it was just her last stop. Death from starvation was not far off in her future. In the end run she lucked out, and so did we.

Scaredy has developed a new routine. While I am out feeding the dogs she approaches within 20' of their pens and sits on the lawn. When I come back towards the house, she runs half way across the lawn, stops and sharpens her claws on the maple tree, and then runs under my truck waiting for me to fill her feed bowl. She's 'talking' the entire time that she is doing this. What a neat animal she is.

Something is stealing Scaredy's food bowl. The second one disappeared last night. I've now placed a very heavy stainless steel bowl there. Tonight I gave her some leftover tuna salad and some ham salad. She sniffed the ham salad and gave me a disdainful look. Sorry Scaredy I forgot you do not eat pork.

SMH. Females, I'll never understand them. Today she is wanting - no, demanding attention and affection. Just like all the others in my life.

Scaredy is 'summering' well. She'll spend the day lounging in a shady spot and at night sleeps on a cushion on the deck.
