Fall Flea Treatment: Is it that time again?
Today my Ma said a word I hate: fleas!
No, I don’t have them! How dare you ask!
The problem is that this is the time of year that they try to sneak in. Usually in the early spring and in the mid-fall, someone (usually a friend with cats and fleas) brings one of the little blood suckers into my house. It’s not like I got out and get them, ya know.
Anyway, somehow or other, they sneak into the house and Ma goes to the vet and gets my Revolution. Now, if you have not been treated with Revolution, you might now know that it stings — a lot. I’ve tried to convince Ma that fleas aren’t as irritating as that stinky medicine, but she never listens.
So I make my indignity known and run off to the basement to hide after I get hit with the Revolution. I hate it, but man does that stuff work.
When I was a baby kitty, I had earmites and worms (but no fleas) and one dose cured me. I didn’t have to get it again for 6 months. Then, I had 8 fleas. Yup, Ma counted them when the Revolution made them fall off dead. Since then, every spring and every fall I get one treatment whether I need it or not.
I heard her say today it was time for a Revolution. She did mean my flea medicine, right?
