    Went to my boyfriend's father's house for the weekend for their family Christmas party. Crappy weekend all around really, the highlight being that Chris was almost arrested driving home as he was stopped for speeding (50km/hr over)and his license is under suspension, which I just found out, otherwise I'd have been driving in the first place. The worst part is that it's still plaguing me. Skipper, Chris' dad's dog, absolutely adores me and was stuck to me like glue the entire weekend, including sleeping in bed with me (actually on me, and at 150 pounds, he's not your average little dog), on Saturday night. Well Skipper has fleas. I'm literally covered in flea bites and they're still itchy. I've not slept properly in 3 nights now because of it.

    I just hope they didn't hitch a ride home in clothing or something because I'll freak if the cats get fleas.

    It might be wise to give the cat a dose of flea powder anyway. Chances are they did hitch home with you

    So you should be in for some good news soon.

    I'm in agreement with Dan, Nikki. You need to atleast powder the cat for a bit, chances are you might have brought home some eggs

    Flea eggs can lay dorment for upto 3 years before they hatch, most powders/sparys etc you can buy off the shelf (here anyway) wont kill the eggs, I found the best thing was to vacume the cat
    My cat loves it .........Of course being very careful of the tail

    I checked them both over, and they don't have any fleas crawling on them, neither is scratching at all. They've both had their advantage pills (for fleas and worms) and all though - I don't know how long those last They have to go in sometime in the new year to get fixed, I'll have to ask about it then, and give them flea baths in the meantime if I notice anything.

    They'd probably enjoy the baths. The damn cats are insane. They jump in the shower with me all the time. Though if there's a puddle of water on the floor, they'll avoid it like the plague. Morons.

    . .

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.
