fleas

I haven't heard of that specifically. However, I live in an area that has no fleas. What I HAVE heard, is using Dawn in water, and dipping a very fine toothed comb into it and combing the kitty's fur. Then "swooshing" the comb in the water again. You could search the forums using the keyword Dawn, probably.

Of course that's if you've got fleas already...not to prevent.

Whatever you do...DO NOT!!!! use Hartz or store brand. Get it from the vet. We've had members here whose cats have died using that type of flea treatment.

Ive heard that the dawn water works really well! Good luck and keep us posted!

I do believe that's safe. Might want to search around the forums a bit, but that seems to me to be an ok one.

do yourself a favor though and buy it from the vet, I've heard that sometimes the frontline and advantage they sell in the stores isn't the same??

also you'll need doses specific to the weight of your kitty, if you buy it at the vet's you can be sure it's the right amount.
