OK, so the kitty is smarter than me

    I've learned before, but keep having to relearn, that when Amelia starts grooming like a maniac, it means that she has fleas. I'm always reluctant to use flea medicine, since it's actually poison that goes into her bloodstream. So I always wait until I actually find flea dirt, i.e., dried blood in her fur, in other words, flea poop. Finally found it yesterday, so Feline Advantage has been purchased. Getting ready to try to get her to stay in one place long enough to apply it to her neck. And I'll try to learn to trust that she's smarter than me next time.
