aw man...
 I was checking the kittens.....I just found a few of those little buggers crawling on them curses! based on the instructions they are far too young to be using anything on them and the mother too... so I had to use the old-fashioned herbal remedy... grapefruit... yep you cut it up, put them in the pot of water, let boil for 15-30 minutes, and get it off the stove... then add cold water in it until the temperature is baby-bottle warm (test it on your wrist) this remedy kills the eggs hmph had to use this treatment twice per day for a week as for the grown fleas, I had to chase 'em with tweezers ------------------ FLEAS!

One other tip...mix a tad of garlic in their cat food. It helps keep new fleas away.
Maybe there's something to the old legends about garlic and vampires, since fleas are little bloodsuckers... Hm! ------------------

Don't forget, once you get rid of said fleas, keep kitties inside (if possible anyways)! Less chance of getting fleas then

LadyZekke? My cat goes out a lot - love outside more than inside as more interesting (so he says!), but doesn't often bring fleas indoors, for some reason, though he used to.(!!!!!!) I'm wondering if he and I have become immune to the type of flea he carries? But I see no sign of fleas on him...
I never get bitten in the house, and I don't see him scratching, either. BUT everytime I go into the garden I get BITTEN by the little b***ers.!! Several local cats have sleeping spots in my garden, so I guess that is why. Can't win! ------------------
