Today, my sister is nursing an injured cat back to health in our home because she accidentally hit it with her car. Now I can't decide which is contributing more to my insomnia: the incessant meowing, or the constant itching because our house is infested with fleas. FML

Is it really too hard to pick up some Advantage or Revolution and dose the cat? As for the house, vacuum EVERTHING and chuck the bag in the garbage outside when you're done. Buy a premise spray and don't forget to treat the baseboards, fleas love to hide there. Treat it like a lice infestation and wash everything you can in warm water if possible. If you think you're itching, imagine how the cat feels. It's probably losing fur and becoming anemic as you complain.

Shelters are often overrun with animals, and the ones that need medical care or extra attention like this one can't be taken care of properly since most shelters don't have the funding or volunteers. And no one wants to adopt a sick animal, so she would most likely be euthanized (unless it's a no-kill shelter, which those are often full and you can't leave an animal there).

Ehh, the problem can easily be solved. OP can buy a flea collar. The fleas will be gone soon; on the bright side OP sister's sweet.

In Soviet Russia, the fleas are infested with houses.

@21 Flea collars are ineffective.. the parasites just migrate to the bum and eat them alive there instead of around their head.

What's a bum doing with a cat? Can't afford to feed it!? :)

Is the flea collar is strong enough, they will leave. :) The scent is the strong part, and usually can get annoying.

Tell her to take the cat back to her house AND pay for your bill to get all those fleas removed.

you're just paranoid about fleas. fleas don't like the taste of people. If you are actually getting bitten, it's more likely bedbugs. I might buy fleas if you were snuggling and sleeping with the cat, but you don't even like the thing.

and as long as she keeps the cat away from herself and off her stuff/out of her room, she'll be fine.

this is what vets are for....unless she is a vet herself then that's where it needs to go....if she is then she can take it to her office n stay up with it all night. that way op can flea bomb the house
