Hi all! I'm new to the site thou I've been getting the daily cat 'toon for awhile.
I've been researching to find safe ways to deal with fleas on my 2 week old kittens. We change their bedding every day and we're relentless with the flea comb but we just can't seem to permanently reduce the number of fleas we see on them. The only safe thing that seems to help is to give them an 'ash bath'. We save the ashes from the fireplace and coat their little bodies with the ash being careful not to let them inhale the dust, the ash smothers the fleas and they drop off. But this still has risks if they inhale too much ash. Please if anyone has any safe ways to deal with fleas on tiny kittens please post here or drop me an email.
Just as a note of introduction-my hubby and I have 3-whoops now 5-pet kitties and we also care for many, many ferals. I'll post some cool pics of our kitty family as soon as I get them developed. We have a momma cat(a russian blue) and her 2 male kittens(1 black & 1 red tabby) that are almost a year old(june 19) and her 2 new kittens-1 boy(grey&white) & 1 girl(russian blue)-that are 2 wks. Any help anyone can give me with conquering my flea problem will be a GREAT help!!
