I don't recommend flea collars and drops etc because some have been known to cause cats to have toxic reactions such as seizures. The best that we have used is a product called "Flea-Busters". It may not be available there but you may be able to get it from your vet or over the internet. Basically it is composed of boric acid and baking soda. The boric acid is the main active ingredient. The baking soda is basically used to help disperse the Boric acid, picked up on their feet and licked off is a good deal more toxic than flea drops. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

totally not true. Boric acid is extremely toxic, which is why there is a
skull and cross bone on the container!!! if you put it on your carpet, regardless if you rub it in or not, its going to get on your cat and your cat will ingest it!!! Over the counter drops have a very high rate of cats having reactions, and I wouldn't recommend it on even a bad day, but I would over what you are suggesting. Anything gotten from a vet though is VERY safe. Frontline and advantage get into the oil glands and is redistributed that way (it does not get into the blood) "Smitty" wrote in message ... That is why you must rub it in. It less toxic than flea drops when it is rubbed into the carpet and sits at the base of the pile where the fleas are! |

You rub it into the carpet... not the cat! It kills the fleas at the base
of the carpet. If it weren't safe it wouldn't be recommended by our veterinarian and marketed as a flea killer under the name of "Flea Busters". It works. We have used it with absolutely no ill effects. When the fleas are eradicated from the carpets then the ones in the cats fur eventually diminish also, and no chemicals have been applied to the animal !!! |
