I have no idea how I managed to bathe poor Tommy the ginger tom.
I know only that he was so decrepit, so near to death, he LET ME douse him in warm water and suds him with Irish Spring. The fleas dropped dead on contact.
The vet suggested sedatives when bathing a cat. Ha ha ha. How do you get the cat to swallow the sedatives!!!
GOOD LUCK with your flea situation!
Maybe with sturdy gloves and a Haz Mat suit, you could pull off the Irish Spring bath....

I'd need a mithril body suit.
I found an herbal spray that works on my dog and is supposed to be OK for cats, Wondercide (good stuff! lots of products!) and I spray them when I put down their food and they are still. They do not care for it!
I took one of them to the vet, which I do not do unless absolutely necessary, and got Revolution for him, which hopefully will give me enough of a break in active infestation (which is very mild now, but still...) that I can clean the rest of the problem up. There's a homeopathic remedy that is supposed to make their little bodies unsuitable for fleas, which I will definitely give a go once I have been 100% sure the problem is gone here. I thought so a month ago, let up my guard some, and have been finding flea dirt. No one is scratching though. Hopefully I am on top of it enough this time.
