Yes - ticks, lice, mite, and tapeworms all love to make a cat their home. There are over-the-counter treatments available for most of these varments, but ear mites should be be treated by a trained vet.

Cats can carry ticks, fleas, lice and mites. I think what you see are mites, but that would depend on what area of the cat you found those one.

Ticks are possible. If they are as big as a grain of rice, it could be ticks. Of course there are plenty of pests and blood-drinking bugs that could latch onto any animal. I would check with your vet. They may be able to identify the bugs and then the source of them.

Sure that's what their fur is for! But the parasites, ticks, mites and fleas will hang in there longer, breeding.
