By me. Not intentionally.
I noticed a couple fleas on them, UGH!
Luckily, I hadn't noticed them on anything else, and nobody has been bit.
But I wasn't about to wait around.
My mom said that she'd bring stuff on Friday...
In two days, fleas can multiply.
So today, I went and got the following (after talking with Jenni and calling the vet):
- Hartz Flea and Tick killing Kitten Shampoo
- Hartz Carpet/Fabric spray
- Hartz Flea Control stuff (thats in the little tubes and you apply them to the back of the kittens necks)
So...that said...we get home, and I get ready. I knew it'd probably be interesting, to say the least, but I got myself mentally prepared (HAHA!) and Went on in. They freaked.
I then decided to get the water warm in the sink. I wrapped Mario in a towel first and gave him a sponge bath. Easier, but he still didn't really like it. But he seemed better with that than the tub. Plus, that way, I got to hold him and talk to him and keep him close to me. He's a sensitive little guy, he needs Momma. haha.
Peach did better with the sink. She just kinda laid there and gave me dirty looks (Yes, I think that they can give you the look of death).
After their bath, I went through the downstairs (the cats don't go upstairs), and sprayed everything that they use. Then once they came out from hiding, I put the tubes of stuff on their necks, and now, they're cuddled up together, relaxing after their long day.
They're starting to regain some trust in me...slowly, but surely. Mario came up and licked my face. I think that he could tell that I was feeling horrible. I have such a soft spot for babies and kittens. Probably not good since I'm a mother and a cat owner :) I'm in for it!
Anyways, the packaging on everything and everything I see online says that it'll be a process, and to repeat in a week. That there will still be some because they're really hard to kill completely, but it'll knock them out, and if I continue, then they'll be gone or close-to-gone. So here's to hoping.
