Fleas!!!!!

[moosmom]

I was sitting on the floor holding Shortie in my arms like a baby when what do I see???? A flea! I started combing her with a flea comb and I could not believe how many there were.

I immediately ran out and got Frontline for everyone (at $80 for 6 treatments). I hopped in the tub with Shortie and gave her a bath (her wails sounded like I was slaughtering her). The woman at the vet said flea season is very bad this year cuz we haven't had any frost yet.

I know it only takes one flea to hop a ride on your clothes. I think it came from when I visited my old rescue organization and schmoozed with over 80 cats. I took my clothes off immediately, but didn't wash them till 3 days later. So, it's my own fault.

Poor Shortie. She's hiding and looks like a wet rat.
