Dawn dish soap (no other kind) in water kills fleas and is safe for cats and bedding. You can put a little of the Dawn solution on your fingers and rub it on the kitten bellies. If you use a flea comb, then rinse the comb in water with Dawn. Fleas have an oil coating that protects them in water...

"Kitten Chow"? I cannot get my cats to any cat chow. They get Purina One and Friskies canned food. When they are sick or not eating, I give them Fancy Feast, that stuff is addictive for cats. I see that this post is over a week old and I haven't got through all of the posts. To learn more about...

I am not a veterinarian or a lawyer but here are my thoughts. I have never heard of a spayed cat getting pregnant but I did read of a spayed horse getting pregnant. Cats (and horses and dogs) do not have a uterus that is like a human uterus, they have a sort of forked uterus with two "horns."...

Give Cody hairball remedy once or twice a day for a couple of days and then about once or week or more often if there are signs of hairballs. Intestinal hairballs can kill cats. Sometimes cats need enemas for hairballs and that can kill a cat, too. 

Cats get tapeworms from fleas. Fleas can develop a resistance to some products, like Advantage. I don't use Advantage because it has never been successful in flea control in my home. Revolution (Rx only) is a new product that is very safe for cats and probably safer than Advantage or Frontline...

This is an old pic of Dinky and Bird in a back room from years ago. Dinky was up in a cabinet above a closet and Bird perched on a shelf. Bird is gone now; she snuck out, found an open window, and flew away. Dinky is 12 now and doesn't get up in that cabinet anymore. He does still like climbing...
