Last night we found a kitten next to one of our cars. Couldn't have been more than a week old, just abandoned by it's mother and covered in ants. We brought it in and kept it overnight until we could get to a rescue shelter this morning.
Got KMR to feed the little fella, and one feeding, I noticed a flea on its head. I killed the flea and flushed it down the sink drain.
Now, our two adults cats never really got near the little guy, except when we had made a makeshift bed in one of our cat carriers, with a stuffed animal and a blanket. They would come up and sniff, but there was never any real contact.
So I am wondering, since I saw one flea on our guest, should I worry that our cats will now have fleas? I mean, we kept the little guy out in the living room, on our hardwood floor, while I stayed up all night to keep and eye on him, and our cats only got next to the carrier one time.
Or is it the kind of thing where it's just a wait and see situation?
I'm just a little worried about suddenly having a problem since our cats never go outdoors.
Basically, am I being a little paranoid?
Also, we did toss out the carrier and stuffed animal and small blanket, just to be safe.
