We can gas away with impunity. As for Frontline, we are beginning to doubt its continued effectiveness and may ask the vet about alternatives - I believe some vets offer injections. The cats will love those.<br /><br />The fly in the web: that's not selling it to me but I fear we have run out of other options.<br /><br />Craig: all I wanted to do was share the love.

Flea-ridden cats get intestinal infestations of worms etc that make them sickly and cough until they throw up all over the place. <br />I'm going to assume that you won't be tempted to leave the cats in the house whilst the fogging is underway?<br />Good luck!English Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712384532126551307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-64621099921767852942013-07-12T18:54:37.510+02:002013-07-12T18:54:37.510+02:00Gorilla Bananas: I'd have to sample them both ...Gorilla Bananas: I'd have to sample them both and then compare the two.

The only time I saw it happen was on an episode of <i>Mcmillan and Wife</i>, when an asylum escapee tried to trap McMillan and wife in the house while it was being gassed. Who do you fancy more - McMillan's wife or Kate?Gorilla Bananashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13044093013423635830noreply@blogger.com
