Hello everyone,

I'm a new mommy, I got my baby two days ago but I had to right on a different forum to ask about fleas.

Anyway, My baby's name is Oscar and he is 7 weeks old. When we got him home I noticed he had some fleas on him and had to ask for help on what to do to get rid of them.

I got a lot of help from a few people which I really appreciated.

This is my
Oscar

This is my first time being a cat mom, I've always been a dog mom and a bird mom, so this is a new experience for me. I love it so much too.

Thank you all for reading.

Happy New Year from Oscar, China and Jose and Joejoe and Bone

Hi Shiningstar :angel2:

I love your little kitty's pic
Oscar's adorable...I also love the names of your other babies


When a kitty that young has fleas, get a flea comb and I put rubbing alcohol in a small bowl. I run the comb through my kitties fur and push the fleas into the bowl filled with alcohol. The fleas will die almost instantly. Don't get any alcohol on the kitty, you can always dilute the alcohol too. I hate using any chemicals at all on my cats. This method is tried and true! :laughing2...Trust me, it takes a few times to get good at it, but if he's the only kitty and the other ones don't bring in fleas, you'll never have to worry about fleas. Just check him about every three days after you start removing them. In about two weeks they should be gone altogether.

Works for me!
Love,
Catarina
