"If you are having a problem holding your cat down. You can take a towel and wrap the cat in it starting around the neck. Or a pillow case. I have a cat who is normally very docile until I want to treat her. It is the only way I can make her be still long enough. And of course after it is all over she stays mad at me for a few minutes until I give her a treat, and then it is like nothing happened at all. But now I have to hide the towel from her until the last minute. She has forgiven, but not forgotten. LOL!!Also on the ear mite remedy you can also try a little Dawn dish soap. Kills the mites instantly."

"Do you mix the dawn with vinegar or water before putting in the ear? I use this to kill fleas on the cats sometimes...but it only kills the adult fleas and not their eggs, etc."Posted By Sherrie (Texas) on 05/06/2017
"I have used Diatomaceous Earth (human organic food grade) NOT POOL DE... in the food of various feral kitties (1 teasooon a day) mixed into wet food and WOW!!! It cured internal worms (round worms), ear mites, and tape worms as well. I couldn't believe the change in one kitty in particular. He was so very thin and just beat up from fights and in very ill health. I could tell he had worms from his anal area. He had wounds as well that I was doctoring. I fed him every day for three weeks straight the DE in his food. No more worms, no more ear mites, no more tape worms. I was able to then revolution him on the sly on his neck which also battles mites. He gained weight immediately and turned into a beautiful tom cat. I finally caught him, and got him in my carrier n got him nueterrd as well. He is cured now and in great health!! Use DE!!!!! I feed him one week a month a teaspoon a day for maintanence against ALL parasites. Best of luck!!!! :)"Posted By Sher (Winter Garden) on 10/07/2021
"This won't help any of us if you can't remember what it is. Do you know now what it is? It would surely help all of us who are on a limited income. Thanks much."
