LOL sorry for the strange title. I posted this on a plant forum, but since they are plant experts not kitty experts this is a better place
All I can say is yuck! Tonight I found what must of been a gazillion of the teeniest tinyest ants I have ever seen, they are light brown tanish color, and so dinky. They were in my cats food bowl which is inside the house. She has a bookshelf on which she eats that sits under the window, I had a screen in the window, and Im wondering if they crawled through the screen. I have seen these before on a dead bird or dead bug in the yard ...but NEVER had them inside before.
I wiped up the shelf, the wall, with hot borax water (the kind you use for laundry), and vacuumed over and over again, then sprinkled dry borax onto the carpet all around the shelf, as I keep going back and looking and once in awhile see one walking up the wall.
My question is this, Will borax hurt my cat if she walks on it then licks her feet? Also can these ants hurt her if they get on her? As she was sitting on her shelf when I saw the ants, so I dont know if any got on her, I checked her over and didnt see any.
Now that Ive probably creaped you out and made your skin crawl, sorry.
