I was combing my cat and on the comb I found very tiny specks of black stuff. I checked him but I couldn't find any creatures in his fur, what is it?

He's out during the day. He has black fur so it sin't noticible. I comb him almost everyday, but I only noticed it today.

Hi there...these are usually indicative of fleas ...called flea dirt. Even if a cat doesn't go outside, fleas can be brought in on our shoes, clothes from the outdoors or touching another pet who goes outside. EDIT: Since your little guy does go outdoors it most likely then would be fleas.
Here's a website that shows photos of flea dirt and provides some helpful solutions to resolve this: http://www.thepetcenter.com/gen/fleB.html
Frontline, Revolution or Advantage can help head off the development of fleas which can be purchased from a vet or directly from 1-800-Pet Meds: http://www.1800petmeds.com/cat.asp?LV=10
A dewormer should also be considered as cats ingest fleas when they are grooming themselves which causes worm infestation as well. Here's a website that explains this in more detail: http://www.sniksnak.com/cathealth/tapeworms.html

you're sensible and appropriate. you do no longer ought to take the initiative each and every time there's a want for communique with somebody. He has to reciprocate and make the attempt, too. while a chum lives far-off the main value-effectual ability of shifting into touch with him is thru texting him or talking by way of digital mail. despite if, it somewhat is a one-way communique while he does no longer have the courtesy to respond and it will wreck down in a count number of time. you're hitting the wall if he's ignoring you. His motives for spurning you're immaterial. in fact that he's no longer attracted to talking to you. you're able to be able to make one thousand and one calls however the end result's unproductive or perhaps hurtful. you may't love all of us in ineffective. After some time, you're able to be able to sense bitter, if no longer hateful. formerly this occurs, you need to start mixing with new pals and taking over fruitful hobbies. Any memory of him must be erased. Press the "delete" button and assume a sparkling process action.

It's either normal dander or flea eggs. Do you have him on preventative like Revolution or Frontline?
