Today, it seems to have got to the point where I take fleas off my cat so often that I now have dreams about finding the biggest and most perfect flea. FML

Hi op here, for all of you guys telling me to use flea medicines and all that, I have tried everything and they don't seem to come off and it really "bugs" me. It all happened after I got a dog so yea I'll keep on trying. On the bright side they are happy dreams.

Why don't you just get some flea prevention. That's not healthy for your cat.

Not a cat owner or nothin, but shouldn't there be medicine for that?

maybe invest in some frontline or something?

There are tons of herbal flea prevention products you can make yourself, with varying degrees of effectiveness, I'd try some of those before hitting the chemicals.

try comfortis. its a pill. so is trifexis, but if u don't have your cat or dog on heartworm prevention they won't sell it to u without a heartworm test.

Gotta be careful of some flea baths... we gave one to one of our cats once and it made him sick from an allergic reaction..Havent had much experience using collars.. I know frontline drops work.... issue is it's like $60 a pop and it lasts for maybe 2 weeks. If your cat has fleas that bad she's definitely dropping eggs that are hatching in your house..That could mean you'll have to bomb various rooms to kill them all....I'd hit up the vet if you have cash =/

Be a better pet owner and get rid of the fleas!! Or better yet, give your cat away to someone who can look after it properly! Shame on you :(

clearly you've never had a flea problem, because it's not as simple as be a better owner. my family and I tried what felt like hundreds of different products, natural remedies, etc. before we finally got rid of the bastards.

I wanted to thumbs down your comment and accidentally hit the wrong button. People like you are one of the problems that animal rescuers like me have. You would force people to give up their animals for asinine reasons. Sometimes, a flea infestation is really bad and getting rid of it takes time. Instead of insulting the OP and venting about them being a bad owner, how about attacking the people leaving their dogs to freeze to death during this extra cold winter, or the ones beating their dogs to death for no reason? A pair of teens threw a bulldog off a bridge into a freezing river because he "was bad at hunting hogs". Luckily, he survived, but others aren't so lucky. Try making a difference where it counts, instead of attacking someone who is trying their hardest.

Really? Attacking the owner telling them to give up their pet because of Fleas? Yeah that's a great reason to give up their pet. Fleas HAPPEN and when they do it is very hard to get rid of them.

I'm hello flea treatment. And it sounds like you needs to de-flea your carpets too. Poor animal. It must be tortured.

Are you too stupid to get your cat flea meds? it could become anemic.

Yeah because that's not the first thing they tried. But sometimes animals are allergic to medicines or they don't work, or they work for a short time. You don't know the situation.

smh...uhmmmm 1 is your cat an outside cat? 2 if so why that cuts their life in half. 3 they could get into serious fights or get attacked by dogs or even worse get hit by a car. . Get her to the vet asap n if she is an outside cat bring her in. .. your dog more harm than good to her just picking them off.. they take everything she needs and adventually if untreated she will die. ..

Not all cats like being indoors, it's their instincts to go outside and have a territory. Personally I think it's more cruel to keep a cat inside if they want to be outside. Also if it is an indoor/outdoor cat by making them an indoor cat the areas could kill them.
