  Hi there, Yes, cats absolutely can get mange, although I admit I see it more commonly in dogs. What symptoms is your cat showing?

  I have been doing some more research and have determined that the symptoms are more like feline scabies. It started around the ears, then head, and has spread over her legs, and torso. My male Himalayan is now displaying symptoms as well. I am looking into getting some Lymdip to treat them with, and am looking for over the counter. If I can't get it that way I'll contact my vet for a prescription. Thank you for your response.
