I am going to buy Ziggy a toy that replicates a bee on a wand and play with him instead. Next year when this plant flowers, I am going to cut off the flowering stem and put it in a vase straight away. If your cat exhibits any of these symptoms after being stung, take her to a veterinarian immediately. In addition, their blood pressure could plunge, resulting in a life-threatening complication. They might have difficulty breathing if the tissues of the throat swell. In fact, any bee sting is definitely worth a follow up to the vet because cats can have an allergic reaction and go into shock. That necessitated a trip to the vet and an antihistamine injection. Ice will help reduce the swelling and it’s also a good idea to apply an antibiotic cream.Ī friend’s cat chomped on a bee and got stung inside his cheek. A sting won’t be too painful for your cat, according to veterinarians, but the site can swell up quickly. Don’t use tweezers or your fingers as you might end up releasing more venom into or onto your cat. Use the credit card to scrape it away, making sure you get the whole stinger. (Note: wasps, yellow jackets, hornets and bumble bees don’t leave their “stingers” behind.) A credit card is your best friend when it comes to removing a stinger. What do you do if your cat gets stung on her nose, paws or anywhere else? First off, if possible, get the entire stinger out. I had to spring into action to prevent ensuing conflict.Īfter a couple of weeks of this, I realized I couldn’t sit and watch Ziggy watching the bees any longer because eventually he could catch one and probably get stung, so I cut off the huge stem and put into it into a vase instead.
When one bee lost its sense of direction and flew inside Ziggy took after it at high speed. It must make him dizzy when several bees arrive at once and flit all over this huge flowering stem. But Ziggy is fixated, watching their every movement. Been there done that-this occurs every year. Every year it produces a huge stem with hundreds of tiny yellow flowers and with it comes the bees that probably get more pollen from this one stop than from flitting from flower to flower.įudge couldn’t care less. Ah yes, the flight of the bumble bee that has a sting in its tail. We have a succulent on our balcony where the cats are allowed to sit safely and sun themselves. Anyway, why are Kilkenny called the Cats Sure, their colours resemble a bumble bee. Cats find them irresistible to watch, chase-and catch. While saving bees is a good thing, they can present a problem when you have cats.
The whole idea of this day is to help preserve bees, which are in danger in many parts of the world.
