Hi Susan

Thanks, we have been terribly dry this summer maybe that is why the fleas
took so long to show up. He sleeps on the floor or on Eric's bed. I had to
change the bed linens this morning as Eric is sick. I already treated all
the cats except for Daisy she is too squirmy to get a hold of. I was even
able to get some Advantage on my semi-feral girl. She only comes in to eat.

I buy the 50 pound dog sized Advantage which will treat about 4 cats maybe
5. With 11 cats now it is the only way I can afford the stuff. I always have
some around and yes, I will probably have to treat them for the next few
months.

 I usually know when I have fleas because of Spike, she is allergic and
starts getting scabs from the bites. She is the reason I knew the fleas were
showing up. She was treated first. Oh yes and fleas love me as well.
