Fleas
Poor kitty. Athena came in the other morning with blood dripping from her mouth. We assumed it was remnants of the most recent snack, although that would be unlike her to be such a messy eater. But Philip mentioned today that she'd lost some hair by her mouth. She must've had quite a run-in with something -- snack or interloper. Now we notice that she's suddenly covered with fleas too. Philip ran to the vet to get the super-duper flea killer stuff, and the price has doubled since we last had fleas around here. Oh well... better to pay it than to fool around with those blasted little critters.

Borax kills fleas VERY well. I am allergic to fleas and found this to be the most efficient way to get rid of them in my home.
ReplyDeleteBorax sprinkled onto the animals' fur? Or onto carpets and blankets and stuff?
ReplyDeleteAll the above. It won't hurt the animal and does wonders to the furniture and carpet (deodorizing). ;o)
ReplyDeleteI fiiinally got the Borax sprinkled onto that big fat comforter where the cat was sleeping on the day the fleas were thick on her. Thanks for the idea!
