That reminds me - now that flea season is upon us....

I just had Pixel neutered, shots, etc by a local rescue, and as he's an indoor/outdoor cat, and likes to roam the streambed at the end of our dead-end street, he's exposed to more potential fleas than the dog is in our mowed and fenced backyard. We had a flea problem last year with the dog, and want to avoid it this year.

What DO people recommend for CATS and fleas? we ony have PetsMart and PetCo around here, and a few LPS's - almost all they carry is Hartz. I've seen the reports you've mentioned and would like to stay away from them, but what's a good alternative that will kill all stages of fleas and be safe for Pixel?

thanks - laura
