Patches seems pretty healthy, but he's pretty much confined himself to the top of the bookcase next to the window

He gets down to use his box and if anything scares him, he runs into the bedroom. Kitties can be a little quirky sometimes. The Revolution treatment for fleas seems to be working, but I still have them around the house, so I ordered a half a pound of Food grade diatomaceous earth. I also ordered a new cordless vacuum cleaner. Both are arriving tomorrow, so wish me luck. I’m open to any suggestions or tips

1. Maybe he's atop the bookcase avoiding the remaining fleas?

Just guessing.

I was thinking about Patches last night wondering how he is doing.

Have you researched the potential side effects of Revolution yet?

Thx for the update.

2. The vet said that the revolution had no side effects to worry about.

I believe he is intelligently, avoiding hanging out on the carpet where the fleas must be breeding. Of course he’s getting room service and as I’m bringing his food to the bookshelf. He may just stay up there to be spoiled, even after I get rid of the fleas, if I do. that bookcase by the windows is always one of his favorite spots. And yesterday he got down to get into a cardboard box. I think he knows the fleas are in the carpet. He likes it when I brush him. I’m just overwhelmed by all this. And the psychological exhaustion from the election isn’t helping. I feel like Trump is ruining my golden years with this shit

3. I would still look up side effects. No med exists without them..

And many flea control meds seem to affect the nervous system from what I've seen.

Yes, no doubt he realizes fleas are in the carpet.

And I'm sure he is enjoying room service atop his bookcase. lol

I agree. rump has ruined many of my "golden" years as well.

Thx for the update!

5. I used Advantage for two of my cats. There were no side effects. Millie is still going strong at 19 years old.

7. Likely stays up on the bookcase

Because of fleas on the floor. Rent Stanly steamer and clean the carpet. That'll kill them all and f k ea season should be just about over.

8. I have used Revolution for years and none of my cats have ever had a reaction to it.

Also, I have used Cedarcide with great success. Spraying around the doors, on the porch, along the baseboards in the house. They also have granules if you need to treat your yard. https://cedarcide.com/

9. Thank you I will definitely look that up
