I hope all YOUR vaccines were up-to-date, so that poor little cat won't catch any disease from all that blood.... grin grin

Well, Blast, you're just gonna love this information:

The effects of flea baths rarely last even 24 hours.

Thoroughly wash all injuries with soap and water. Staunch the bleeding. Bandage everything that needs it (don't forget the antibiotic ointment). Take some painkiller (tablet or liquid).

Tomorrow, go to the vet and get a tube of Advantage. Put it on the back of the cat's neck where he can't lick it. Within 3 hours the fleas are dead, and will stay dead for at least 30 days.

THEN........ the zombie fleas will arise from the carpeting and the vacuum cleaner...

... and ATTACK!

So..... when do we get to see the pictures? (evil chuckle, rubbing hands)

Just use the stuff that a couple of drops on the neck defleas them instead.

Seeing what vet. techs have to go through I always thank them profusely after every visit. And I don't even have a cat. Maybe if I did I'd bring them chocolates after every visit. smile


Back on topic. I'm sensing a ETS invention or innovation out all this cat bath talk. I'm thinking some sort of kevlar suit with a face shield and shampoo dispensers.

I have a 9lb cat, missing most of her teeth, only has one fang, no front claws (we got her at the spca - wife wants to save every animal she can). Even that cat was able to leave some scars on me when I had to fed her some antibiotics (had surgury to remove some rotton teeth - there are no free animals from the spca!!!).

Cats are the devil. No other explanation.

Kris
p.s. have two cats and love them like kids

now the question is what to do with the cat if you have to
bug out??..


It's my new sidearm. If someone harrasses me I'll dump my canteen on the damn cat then throw it at the person...

Did you know a cat trying to escape water can actually climb four feet up a tile wall?

That's the suprising thing. My cat is a Siamese/Tabby mix with an attitude, yet he just sat meekly in the tub while I washed him. I thought he'd shred me to ribbons.

Then it was DW's cat's turn. This is the cat that will sit passivly while DW dresses him up in little costumes for Halloween and the kids treat like a stuffed animal. I figured he'd be easy...

Alas, like humans, it's the quiet ones that turn out to be pyscho killers.

Hi, Blast. I, too, have cats and de-flea with Advantage. I don't like to use such harsh chemicals but it is better than having fleas living in my carpet!

If you switch to Advantage, make sure you go to your vet and get Advantage. DO NOT get the cheapo stuff from walmart or the feed store, that stuff is toxic to cats.
