Is it safe to use a flea/tick killer on a pregnant cat who is close to full term?

…such product as frontline or similar brand. There is an abandoned female cat at our apartment bldg and I want to take care of it till the babies are old enough to give away then get her spayed.

Got tick off my cat, what do I do?

Okay. I finally managed to get a tick off of the back of my cats neck. He has a red bump with a little hole (where the tick was). I put a small amount of neosporin on the area as best I could (I didnt have any alcohol). We’ll probably take him to the vet just in case but what do I do now? Am I good?
Also, how do I kill the (still alive under a clear drinking glass on the floor) tick? I dont have any rubbing alcohol.

Will 2 feral cats in our backyard attract more?

I am seriously considering relocating 2 feral cats to my backyard (their current habitat is being destroyed by new construction). Of course we will provide proper vet care, food, water, and shelter. But I am very concerned that the food water and shelter we provide will attract MORE cats (which we will not be able to care for – plus I don’t want to tick off the neighbors). Is this a valid concern? I sometimes see cats roaming our neighborhood, but I am pretty sure they are domesticated pets.
Yes – of course we will spay/neuter

Was it a tick on my cat?

I felt a small lump under my cats fur (at the base of his front leg) when i looked there was a round black dot on the surface. When i felt the lump on him he didnt seem to at all phased or in pain so i got the tweezers and removed the ‘dot’ but my cat still has a small lump there under his skin. Is this normal from a tick? And yes, i will take him along to th vet if it gets worse or he is in pain.
