Best Answer

Generally cats aren't bothered by mosquitoes because of their fur. If you have buckets or pails of water around get rid of them as these are breeding grounds for mosquitoes. We get mosquitoes in British Columbia, but my cat or dogs don't seem to have a problem with them.

In warmer, wetter areas where mosquitoes are prevalent, outside cats are greatly bothered by mosquito bites on their vulnerable ears and noses. Cats can get heartworms, too, you know. Feral cats in my Texas neighborhood have bloody scars on their noses and ears from scratching at these bites. This is only one of the numerous reasons to keep your own cat inside. In the United States, totally outside cats have an average lifespan of 2 years, while those living totally inside have an average lifespan of 14 years.
