Sparky, the 10 week old kitten, has fleas. A houseguest said one got on her last night so I really need to do something about this pretty quick. I think just a warm water wash would be sufficient until I can get to the bank & the store tomorrow, but hubby thinks we should add some tea tree oil I have for soothing the skin on my feet. Will this affect the fleas at all, and is it harmful to the kitten?
Also, I notice he has 5 or 6 really long whiskers on each side of his face, and maybe another 6 or 8 that are only half an inch long (one centimeter) mixed in. Do kittens get their whiskers at different times? Did these short ones break, maybe due to nursing? Just curious.
