Sorta weird question for the Cat People

Lucy had fleas for awhile and was not a happy cat, and she stopped sleeping with me.

Six days after I gave her the Frontline treatment, she hopped up on the bed and onto me, per usual, when I went to bed. She's been doing so since.

Question: Could she possibly have been sleeping elsewhere because she didn't want me to get fleas?

5. Give her a skritch or two for me

and tell her to ask her dinner if it's got fleas BEFORE she brings it in.

My girlfriend at the time confirmed that she(the cat) gets into my bed right after I fall asleep. So they can tell that you are sleeping. Maybe your cat didn't want to keep you awake all night with scratching. They are smart enough to wake you up when they need something. I'm sure they are smart enough to let you get a good nights sleep. Or, maybe I would like to think my cat loves me as much as I love her.

11. Max does that

In fact he's clawed a hole in the lining underneath the bed to make himself a hammock. Max the ripper!

and not feeling well. Cats do tend to go off on their own when not feeling up to par.

glad the fleas are history but keep up the treatment. I think the egg hatching cycle for fleas is about 2 weeks.
