I hope Carys appreciates what I went through to find her some flea pills, today [View all]

Two stores that said they had them in stock, DIDN'T. I finally ended up driving to the next town over, and found them. I bought two packs. That should last a while.

All of the other kidcats are doing so good because I can comb them and apply a topical, if needed. Gryff had a reaction to the topical so he gets combed and he has finally accepted that I won't give up so he might as well surrender.

That's just impossible with Carys so I crush up a pill in her food. The few times she does snuggle up, I very carefully scritch her with a dusting of food grade diatomaceous earth, which also gets sprinkled on, in and around her favorite lounging places.

With the carpet being gone, once I get her under control, the problem should be over. For now, anyway. I'm sure that the carpet was a huge part of problem. It didn't matter how often I vacuumed or steamed it.
