Our lovely cat, Meowie, wasn't quite limping but I saw her favoring one of her front paws - I could see that one of her nails (claws) looked slightly injured and I was able to gently put some hydrogen peroxide on it with a Q-Tip before it obviously stung and she ran off. She has been hiding from...

Yeah, it can be overwhelming with all the theories to battle fleas. I did try the table salt thing and it did not work at all (but I'm sure it did for that particular person). I've had no luck finding DE but I am going to try the Borax mthod - the only conflicting thing I keep reading IS THIS -...

I feel yr pain - we've had our indoor/outdoor cat for seven years - always controlled the flea situation with Advantage treatments - never had a problem. Well, this summer has been hot and humid - we went away on a trip - had someone watch the and feed the cat - well, when I returned - she had...

Hi - thanks for the advice. See, my problem doesnt seem too bad - Ive only seen a couple fleas so I dont know if it is an infestation but the DE sounds interesting - do you have to go to a garden center? And you said one dose - what did that entail? I appreciate the info.

Hi - any advice? - cat's Advantage treatment didint work for the first time ever - she seemed to have quite a few and was miserable - gave her Capstar - she is 100% better 24 hrs. later but here's the problem - there still are some fleas in a rug in my living room - when I sit there - every now...

I disoense the whole thing but as I had parted the hair on the middle back of her neck - she scooted away and I now think from it NOT working - maybe it stayed too much on the fur and really ddint get to the...

I will get Capstar - just got off phone w/ Vet but I hear you have to give it to them orally - YIKES - only once did I have to give pills to my cat and it was a nightmare - she hates it plus she's mad at me because I was away for a week on business (we have a loving person care for her when...

Hi - our eight year old cat is indoor/outdoor and it is now summer and hot and she's got fleas and seems miserable. Ive seen a few on me in the house so Im confused. We always give her Advantage and it always works. But I just gave my cat a treatment on July 11th and she doesnt seem clear of...

Hi - this forum has proven invaluable. When I returned from a 7 day trip last April. my cat had peed in three different sections of the house (which she had never done before - ever - even when we've been gone longer - she's indoor/outdoor). Many here suggested she might have an UTI - we took...

Hi - glad I found this forum. We have a wonderful cat - she has been with us for eight years (indoor/outdoor) - she is never been a problem. Never scratches furntiture, always uses her litterbox or goes outside and even though we do not travel much - when we have had to take a trip we have a...
