I'm tempted to buy two flea collars and wear them as ankle bracelets.

Problem is, that only takes care of the fleas that were on the CAT -
they're probably reproducing in your carpet. I've had good luck with
the aerosol products sold to fumigate your home - but of course you must
remove yourself and your pets for the recommended time required to do
the job.

Yes, and that would be a major problem. Pickles is terrified of the cat
carrier, and since I trapped him in it to take him to the vet, Koala
doesn't think much of it either. I seem to get bitten only when I go in
the room where he is, and there is no carpet in there. Actually, I
don't think I have any new bites today.

If you can set up a bowl with water and some liquid detergent and a
lamp... if there are any fleas around it will help trap them. Flea eggs
can get into crevices of hardwood floors.

Good luck!
