I freaking hate fleas and ticks....if it were me....I'd give the whole bunch a bath and then have a chat with your bug guy.

If you get them in the house is a major pain in the ass.

Clc.....grrrrrreat!
just what i needed...LOL...
so I know STAR pills are great for fleas for dogs, but what about cats? obviously 3 month flea drops didn't work, shampoo didn't work, I am thinking my best option is to get another direct spray on and soak both cats....I never used flea dip ( is there a specific product/brand?)....and i will get carpet spray....both cats are inside so it should be easy to control...(well one would think)...

You can get them off the cat or dog but they can live without a host and will return to it in time.
I use a kennel dip, Permethrin as the active ingredient, hard to find these days, the foggers came from my Vet.
Kill them all at the same time, on the animal and anywhere else they may be hiding, even out buildings or under houses.
It's a major pain seriously.

Now back to the fleas,,Never had them in ten years and found them during normal grooming about 3 or 4 months ago!!! What a night mare!!..Prince ended up scratching himself to a bacterial infection erupted and 60 days of antibiotic!!..I used enough diatomaceous earth to sink a ship,,I vacuumed daily, as I said above, this basement is spotless..I can not understand where a flea could hide..I HATE using chemicals!!,,but I finally had to and gave all the kitties a product called Easy Spot per veterinarians reccomendation..It is a topical applied between the shoulder blades that kills fleas for a month..Also I used a spray called Knockout by Virbac for the basement and all their furniture...I have sprayed the basement twice in the last 3 to 4 months and have treated the cats every 6 weeks..The Easy Spot cost me $80 for all 6 cats and the Virbac cans are $20 each...So far it has worked ..Not to say that there aren't a few lurkers somewhere..
BTW out outdoor cats have zero fleas..Go figure!!..

Clc ,,,Cat food!!,,Yes and lots of it!!,,I have been feeding them Merricks and Earthborn..It costs about $70 every three weeks or so give or take..We have been very fortunate that our kitties stay healthy so far..Unfortunatly they are all very close in age and when things go down it's gonna be ugly..:( :(
