Suburban and town dwellers. Are you having flea problems?
Another effect of global warming. The warm autumn caused fleas to proliferate in the lawn and the cat brought in some. What cures do you use? And isn't global warming a blast?

2. Rural dweller here.... no fleas on me!
We use Revolution on the dogs, but the cat is also flea-free and he lives outdoors.

Not sure what to use on a cat, but a number of years ago I bought a flea-killer for the house and yard at the hardware store. It came in a big jug and had a nozzle-sprayer. It worked very well, but I had to re-apply it several times to get the new ones that were hatching. Disgusting creatures. They would actually jump on our ankles and bite us!
