Bathing Buster
We are having lots of trouble with fleas. It's a constant battle. And Buster is especially sensitive. So a little while ago, I gave him a flea bath. He struggled, but I kept those fish hook claws away from all my poor tender parts. He did start to calm down after a bit, as fleas dropped off into the rinse water. Finally, I dried him and cuddled him. He leaned hard into my shoulder and both whined and purred to me. When I spread out the towel and sat him down, I told him, "I hope that's better, poor baby." He just glared at me and said, "I'm all WET, you pervert. Now leave me alone." You just can't win (grin). Hugs and Purrs, Mark -- Proof of Sanity Forged Upon Request |

@news.supernews.com: We are having lots of trouble with fleas. It's a constant battle. And Buster is especially sensitive. Try giving him brewer's yeast tablets. They're supposed to help keep the fleas off, but they don't do much when there's already an infestation. Oh, and my cats *love* them. As in, come running when I shake the bottle, shoulder each other out of the way, Love Them. Chak -- English is a brawling, promiscuous drunkard of a language made up of mispronounced and stolen words from other languages, and that's what makes it such a glory to speak. Usage pecksniffs who try to tell you that colorful, unambiguous, expressive turns of phrase or sentence structure are incorrect are the worst kind of bores. --Cory Doctorow, posted to BoingBoing.net |

Kitty FC would slash me to pieces and Boyfriend would faint away into a coma. I get this great stuff from my vet. It's called Stronghold and it's a spot on the neck job. It kills off any body parasites including ear mites and intestinal worms and fleas/lice/anything. It's not cheap but worth the money IMO. Tweed |
