my dog is part of the family too and is checked regularly for ticks(sheep and deer around here) and is frontlined every 2 months, dosent go out unless 1 of us is with her, this will go doubly after TSHTF. mind you i think cats are filthy creatures and i will shoot them on sight after TSHTF.

I know you're a scary guy BP, but for your own sake, don't shoot our girls. The wife would walk through a wall of lava to seek revenge! I've gone up against guys pushing the 20 stone mark in the cage, and I think she's more dangerous than some of them. Well, one of them for sure (but that's just because he was a total wuss).

seeing as how we arent even in the same county, you must be about 80 miles from me, i dont think there is any danger of that!

I learned a while ago to respect peoples desires to keep tiddles and fido in their homes retreats, and they must learn to respect the fact that I will consider anyone from that group as possible plague carriers and not interact with them. Soon as I hear things like " Tiddles and Fido are our children and part of the family" I'm up and running the opposite direction. What social niceities work while society functions goes out the window the minute TSHTF. I know historically that disease and ill health from bugs kills more people in a disaster than the initial event itself.

That's a good point well made!

I feel better for the safety of our cats now.

i think people carry far MORE bugs than any animal does and this will be my main concern after TSHTF

I am not a cat lover,.. but we do have a cat,..and I must admit that I have always thought of them to be clean at least,... mind you we do have a few feral cats around here too,... and I will admit that some of those do need shooting
