The war against fleas

I have cats. Two cats to be exact. Both of them were infested with fleas until this weekend. I went on a CLEAN EVERYTHING frenzy to try to rid my home of the nasty fleas. I washed all the bedding, vacuumed and sprayed anti-flea stuff on the carpets (while the kitties were out, of course), and even washed my cats.

Yes, I washed my CATS. They were not thrilled, but it had to be done. They were walking fleabags.

I enlisted the help of two of my friends and managed to wash both my cats with no permanent injuries! My mother and I had bought some Name Brand flea and tick killing medicine and after thoroughly washed and dried, it was applied to both cats.


Unlike most flea medicines that will only kill the fleas if they bite your pet, this particular brand kills them just by having them touch my kitties' fur/skin! My cats are now walking anti-flea and anti-tick MACHINES!  Muahaha.


Oh, and they are very glad they are allowed to sleep on my bed again. :)

  1. I hope it worked! Having fleas in the house is pretty miserable!

  2. I hope that cleaning frenzy got rid of them all! When I had a flea infestation it took weeks of debugging to get rid of them all!

  3. They are still scratching, but not nearly as much as before. Also, I'm hoping it is just because the bites they already had are still itchy.

  4. Oh no!! If you like, I could give your cats my cat-allergy - keeps me away from cats just fine! (And I don't even want to be!!)
