6. None!
Yes, kitty is fine. She was mad for a couple of hours, jumped if one the other cats sniffed her, but she's fine now.

I didn't get one scratch!

7. Wow, you did it by yourself? What did you use?
My cat had fleas about a year ago, and a vet I know gave us some stuff to put on it, that worked. But it made her oily for about a couple of weeks. How did your cat react - I'm sure I know - but was it tolerable...and I mean for you, too?

8. Adams shampoo
It was funny, because she likes to play in water. she puts her toys in the water dish and bats them around. she opens the shower door when I'm in there, just to catch the spray. she jumps up into the sink as soon as the water is turned on.

When I put her in the tub, she freaked out. I got her calm, and it went smoothly. she tried to bolt a couple of times, but I know how to hold a cat and not get scratched (lost of practice!!).

11. I've been told you shouldn't use that stuff.
My vet said to use advantage. Just pull the fur back and put the drops down. Vet says the Adams stuff is harsh on the cat.

12. Yeah, was doing Advantage
Haven't been able to afford more though, and already had the Adams. I made sure I rinsed her very well.
