Title: primitive gives her cat fleas; another primitive cleans its cat with 409 cleaner

The cat was probably minding its own business when a flea jumped off of the racoon-bitten primitive:

Fleas! My cat has never had them before, but I spotted one.

I thought about using that treatment that you put on the back of their neck that works for a month, but I worry about the toxicity.

Advice?

1. the liquid treatment works very well

You just can't bathe them for 24 to 48 hours afterwards. Not that you'd want to bathe a cat without chain mail...

2. I'd need plate mail to bathe mine.

She is the sweetest cat I've ever owned, but attempting to submerge her in any amount of water would likely result in a visit to the ER LOL.

I'm not a vet, but I can tell you, DUmmie Aerows, that from years of experience that there is a trick to bathing a cat.

Of course, I'm not going to tell you what it is, but I'm just saying.

3. I actually bathed my two cats tonight.

We used some Vet's Best flea and tick spray on them and the fleas were jumping off the cats like they were training for the Olympic long jump. It costs about $14 per bottle while the stuff that you put on the neck is $60 for three treatments. By the way, I think it is good to give the cats a bath since it gets the oil and excess hair off of them so they don't get hairballs.

These people are disgusting.

4. There's actually a dry shampoo

you can get for them, which is better for them. The oils in their coats are there for protection. I get the excess hair off with a brush.

You can buy the neck stuff from Jeffer's Pets for a lot less than that per dose. You can buy Fiproguard or VetriScience for $20 for 3 topical treatments (3 month supply).

The other thing, is you have to be very careful to make sure you use something formulated for cats ONLY, as the ones formulated for cats and dogs can be a problem.

Again, another tip regarding this medication, which I am not going to share, because. .

6. $20 per dose, the back of the neck stuff? Hmm...

Much cheaper here... I guess I could supply that by mail out of the Canary Islands for under $12.

Would that make a small- business plan?

Are you planning on paying taxes on said small business plan?

9. I did have 1 cat who reacted badly to it. He foamed

at the mouth and threw up. My other cats were ok with it. I flea comb my cats every night by the toilet. I also learned that if I spray the flea comb with 409 cleaner it keeps the fleas off cats longer.

Yup. That's what I was thinking, too.

Yes but Perky we are talking about primitives here. A more apt search for them would be "I have fleas. .
