Please take your cat to the vet.

give your cat a bath and run a comb through its fur. All its from is fleas. It is droppings and just about every cat I've seen has them. Trust me I don't really think that it is anything to worry about but if you are concerned you can always take it to a vet! (Sorry to call your cat/pussie "it" but I didn't know if it was male or female

A pesticide for cats would work fine. You can get a flea medication over the counter. Treat your house because the fleas can transmit to humans and some do carry diseases. Have a pest free year.

It's probably fleas or flea droppings. Check with a vet and get some Frontline for cats, easy to use and works great.

fleas - get some frontline from your vet, it costs under £20 for 3 doses and thats the only thing thats worked for me.
the flea treatment you get from the shops is rubbish!

Vets me thinks, sounds like fleas...get her/him some 'frontline' which you place between the shoulders. it goes into the blood and keeps the little 'critters' at bay( yearly dose recommended!)
good luck...and don't forget the flea may bite you but wont' live' on you

they are probably fleas and can be treated with drops from your vet. They can also get an injection which helps stop them multiplying ask ur vet about it
