Speaking of fleas I am chasing down the cats, one by one, and medicating them. Advantix drops for the big guys another brand good for all cat weights, for Scrappy.
Biscuit was easy. Spotty, I found him in my bed and got him pretty quick. Cleo saw me doing Spotty, we did a little dance back and forth. I'm battling depression today, slow enough she got out. So I need to do her and Scrappy. Scrappy has clearly never had a flea treatment in his life. For a young cat, he has a fair amount of scarring on his ears.
Frosty
Was an unusual cat. He actually had a chronic yeast infection in his ears. But the medicine had to be refrigerated and he hated the ear drops as much as Baby Girl hated those eye drops! Oh he would run, hide, fight, just like the active shooter video, when he saw those drops in my hand!
I understand. For them the drops were painful and for Frosty cold and painful. Of course he didn't like it. But flea drops? The cats never make it easy and I've gotten the stuff on my hand. It doesn't burn. I don't get it.
I know they don't want to itch.
So I'll get Cleo eventually, and Scrappy's first time should go easy. He lets me pick him up to move him, etc. The first time I picked him up he hid his head in my arms but he's getting more used to touch now. I think his people did OK feeding him and not hurting him (much, but that's another blog), but they didn't touch him much.
I am very hands on with the cats and love to have them all piled in bed with me. That's it for now!
