I'm living in a new apartment (temporarily, thank god!) and it seems
that I have boxelders bugs that get in through the cracks.  I'm not
talking major infestation, but there's probably at least one or two in
my living room every night.  Anyway, my cat enjoys stalking them and
now I've noticed that he's eating them when he catches them!  I've
been trying to stop him when I'm here, but I know he's probably eating
them during the day when I'm not here.  My question is, should I be
concerned about this???  He does recieve monthly doses of Revolution
for fleas and whatever else, and at his yearly check-up at the vet he
did recieve a de-worming.

Any thoughts on this?

Hi,

I can't comment on the bugs as I've never heard of them, I don' t
think we get that sort in Australia, My understanding is through that
cats need worming more than once a year - I guess it depends what you
use but I think it's usually about every 3 months. Hope your little
one takes it better than my boy! :)

Cheers
Kate & Angus
