The great spring cat round up!

Wow that sounds like a huge task. How many cats do you have? I love cats but I've never heard of anyone needing to print out a list of all their cats. Not saying it's a bad thing that's a great idea so you know who you've gotten and who you havent so you don't treat the same one twice hehe.

last year was horrible for me, I have 4 cats and the house was infested with fleas. My son and I were bidden like crazy. But now the fleas are all gone and everything is okay again, I hope I don't have a repeat performance of last year.

Your household sounds like mine. When it's time to treat our 12 babies, it's definitely a workout. LittleBit, my calico, knows exactly what the little green Frontline one spot container looks like. So I have to sneak up on her when she's not looking and squirt it on her neck really fast before she runs. The rest of the inside cats are pretty easy to do, but they won't speak to me for hours afterward. Three of my outside kitties are next to impossible to catch. Two of them are feral and won't get close enough to grab, so I have to trap them and pray I have a hand left when I get done treating them (sometimes our vet gets that unenviable job LOL). The other two, Muffin and FraidyCat, will squirm and protest quite loudly the whole time, but they are easy to catch and treat.

It sounds like you had fun trying to do all the cats, I have that problem with just two! They know as soon as you come back from the vets with the frontline and always disappear.

Hahaha. Thats funny. Especially the last part about Star. I really thought that Gizmo was funny about the howling part.

You are going to have to go through all of that twice this year? Oh my! Were yuo completely scratched up? For sme reason we don't have much of a problem with fleas. I don't know why they don't bother our cats and dogs. I wish whatever prevents it could be bottled, because I would happily share it with anyone who has to go through all of that!

How many cats do you have? It sounds like a lot! My two are enough for me.:)

Thank goodness I only have Moomin to treat. She is difficult enough to manage as it is, and I know there willbe a fight when I have to give her the flea treatment. Last time it involved wrapping her tightly into a towel to keep her claws away from my hands :-)

lol I just had to laugh after reading your title to this discussion, Elic. Reminds me of when I was a kid and it was spring round up for the calf branding at the farm I used to visit every day. I just couldn't wait till I turned 13 cause then I became one of the 'official' calf ropers. That is quite alot to handle but it must be done if you don't want to become infested with fleas. Our animals are on year round preventive cause their interceptor also is their heartworm treatment. The 1st of every month is when I go on the prowl for all my animals for the 'meds attack'. They all know it too. lol I STILL have to get ahold of our new kitten, CosmicWhitePricess's wild cat, Tigger. He learned real quick and is now hiding behind the headboard where we can't get to him. Just gonna have to wait him out, as usual. lol He's also gonna be wrapped up in a towel cause I know he's gonna fight the ear cleaning he's needed for a while now. Think I might cut his nails as well. Good luck in the treatments and getting the yard sprayed. Fleas are not fun to get rid of once they 'explode'.
