jda 5 Feb 1:24pm, 5 Feb 2025 18,426 posts	Quote Pin jda We tend to use Nexgard but only infrequently as they are indoor cats and the fosters are treated and isolated for a while before getting into the house proper.

quimby 5 Feb 8:07pm, 5 Feb 2025 6,797 posts	Quote Pin quimby We got Bravecto spot-on from the vet, don't remember how much it was. Dab on the back of the neck. We also used a spray in the house, on furnishings & carpets - Indorex Defence Spray. That was recommended by the vet (but we bought it from Pets at Home). That cleared everything up. Moo has always been an indoor cat, but apparently you can bring fleas or eggs in from outside. I guess it's quite possible for a flea or two to hitch a ride on your trousers if you give an friendly outside cat a fuss.

quimby 5 Feb 8:28pm, 5 Feb 2025 6,798 posts	Quote Pin quimby Oh yes, we get sulking. It takes a week before she will relax if there are two of us in a room with her. She's waiting for the pincer movement.
