Ahrg, fleas are annoying on a whole new level now. this is the worst we've ever had them, even when we lived in the deep south of GA, and we had 2 cats and a dog, who all cam and went out side as they pleased.

we've had fleas for a good...2-3 months now, I've lost track really. it took a few weeks for my father to acknowledge that we weren't imagining the fleas, in fact, this past weekend, we were sitting on the sofa and he found one on his arm, and still said "oh look, a flea" in a tone that implied that he still thought we were imaging the things.

about 2 weeks ago, we bug bombed the whole house. they seemed to have gone, but the next day they were back in full force. the following weekend our parents came back from vacation, where they'd happened to talk to one of my cousins who happen to be in the bug killing field. said cousin came over and helped my father order the "pro" bug spray, thats supposed to kill them but good, and that once its dry is perfectly harmless, which is important in a house with 2 cats, a 5 year old, a one year old, and a 3 month old...

the current tally of treatments we've done with the "pro" stuff is at three times, the cats have been bathed...really, all it seems to do is piss them off, as my mother put it during diner "they're getting ballsy"

so now, a friend knows a vet tech, who's sent us some cat flea treatment at a loverly discount, told us about this pill to give the cats that'll kill all the eggs on the cat and lasts for 24 hours, the flea treatment is due to show up tomorrow, so we should be able to treat the cats tomorrow, so let us hope and pray it works this time, or I may beg one of our aunts and uncles to take us in for a while or something, cause it fairly distracting to work on homework while your being bitten repeatedly as you sit there.
