Scurf, without pruritus, appeared on the body surface, especially the dorsal area, of a 15-month-old castrated Russian blue cat. Examination of feces and skin scrapings revealed two types of Demodex mites. The larger type was 111.6 micro m in size and had a 49.1 micro m opisthosoma. The smaller type was 77.4 micro m with an opisthosoma of 30.9 micro m. In both types, the opisthosoma end was blunt. Fifty-four days after treatment with Amitraz and Ivermectine, no mites were detectable; and, after 98 days, no scurf had reappeared.
