Hi Reader,

You know what I was thinking about this morning while brushing my teeth - I am grateful I have a mostly white cat and that fleas are brown/black. I cannot imagine having a black cat and dealing with them.

I hope, if you have never dealt with fleas or if you have, that you never have to again.

I sometimes struggle to understand the importance of fleas in the grand scheme of things - how do they add value, what part of the food chain do they supply?

I finally gave Charlie garlic - which I used to give somewhat regularly. Garlic is safe in small quantities and helps keeps fleas away, but it causes mild digestive upset for Charlie - which, when you have kidney disease, isn't helpful - we don't need extra nausea-inducing things.

But if you have a young, healthy cat, garlic is a great option for making fleas unattracted. I talk about it here. What Dr. Judy Morgan says about garlic and cats. It worked for us years ago - and contrary to popular belief, garlic is not toxic if given in minute amounts.

For those looking for natural options, I have gathered all my resources here: natural flea control.

​Norman – Ragdoll of the Week​

"In May, 2016 I received a phone call from a friend who breeds Ragdoll and Ragdoll/Himalayan cats. She had a male kitten who was a ‘poor doer’ and she wanted to know if I had any interest in taking him in to keep or to get treatment and then find him a home. (I work in the veterinary field.) I agreed and went to pick him up the next day."
