Abstract
A Persian cat with the complaint of lustreless dry coat, salt and pepper appearance was brought to the dermatology unit of Madras Veterinary College, Chennai. Microscopical examination of the tape impression and hair coat brushings revealed Lynxacarus radovskyi mites with eggs adhering to the hair shaft. The cat was treated with Ivermectin @ 300µg/kg body weight subcutaneously once a week for 5weeks after getting owner's consent. The cat was free from the parasites 5weeks post treatment. Fomite and close contact might aid the spread of infestation. Isolation coupled with full course of treatment favours complete recovery from the infestation.
