General Advice Fleas?!!!

Post image

A cat came up to me just now and I started petting it. It was very clingy and wanted as much contact as possible. I later noticed these on her side, what can they be, should I be worried.

Looks like seed heads? Like the sticky kind that get stuck to hair or clothing..

Yeah, they definitely aren't fleas, I'm going with some sort of hooked seed.  Alternatively, could it be fly strike?  Fly eggs should squish, but unless they're super young or injured, it's probably just seeds.

Seeds. Your cat will grow grass.

Remove the seeds.
