We rescued...I don't really like that word.

This long hair kitten captured us with her cuteness. I could send pictures, but I'm afraid you would try to steal her.

Her long hair holds the fleas long, and we are fighting them with our 3 short hairs. Cuteness none the less, we are in a flea fight again.

We bug bombed the house 2 times before she arrived, but I think the treatments are not working because of the long hair. There was a dog before she arrived, but no more. All 4 cats are indoors.

What a fight. Do you know of a defense against cuteness, so we keep our cats to 4, and do you have flea advice.

That's funny, because she already conned me. She has gained so much weight in such a short time, rusty quoin Oct 2016 #4

I have laminate floors in my house because of my pet population of 2 dogs, 2 new puppies, 2 indoor/outdoor cats and 2 new indoor kittens who will be indoor/outdoor once they get spay/neutered. We have always rescued fur babies and don't worry, I won't steal your new squee baby. I have enough of my own.

Wow, you don't even know me and you know me. But, I wouldn't steal her. I would just try and con you out of her.

She is ready to be queen. I didn't want to upset the balance, but she went from perfect long hair cuteness to a player in a short time. It's in her.

You need to put that on all the pets in the household. If you don't know it, it is a liquid that goes on the skin right behind the head (where they can't lick) and it kills all fleas who bite. Lasts for a month, so one or two months of treatment should do it.

It will also take care of ear mites at the same time, if there are any.

As for a defense against cuteness, I don't know of one. I have been a victim too many times to count. And you're right not to be too trusting. I have stolen cats in the past, although my current household came as strays or from the conventional method (animal shelter.)
