I just brought home a new cat, named Taffy, today from a family that couldn't keep her anymore due to allergies. I already have one cat and have had cats in the past but none of them have ever had a flea problem so I didn't realize Taffy had fleas until I got her home and did a little research. I have her in a separate room (actually a bathroom, not the best I know, but I want to try an limit the flea population spreading into the rest of my home) and I treated her with some OTC flea spray. Now I am reading this may have not been good. I used Bio-Spot Flea and Tick Mist for Cats. Has anyone used this with success or had problems?
Another problem I am having is actually removing the fleas and flea dirt from her coat. There is quite a bit of it but even when I brush it gently it seems to irritate her and while she will handle a couple brushes she begins to get snippy if I brush any more. What is the best way to remove the fleas and flea dirt.
Thanks!
