My Ragdoll Cat Adventures Part Two

Blog Post 29 22nd July 2022 Spot On

I am a bit late with the flea spot-on treatment. It is supposed to be once a month but I haven’t done it a few a couple of months. As the weather is warm at the moment I get paranoid about fleas emerging in the house. My boys are indoor cats but fleas can get in easily from the outside best be careful. I had fleas in my old house because I was quite lax with putting flea treatment on my old cat so I do not want that to happen again.

I really hate doing it though that is why I put it off. I know it does not hurt them but they hate and I don’t like the way It leaves this messy patch on the fur. Anyway, it was a bit of a palaver! Jack and Tom are wise to it now so when I get the pipettes out of the packet they look at me warily and when I come close they make a break for it. I managed to get Jack first and he submitted but Tom was a nightmare. I chased him all over the house and got hold of him eventually but he is so strong I can’t hold him for long and he wiggles out of my arms. Anyway, I managed it on in the end. It was quite easy for the babies as they did not know what it was but they were a bit scared bless them. At least it’s done now. It’s for their own good but I am such as softie I don’t like upsetting them. They normally forgive me by the next mealtime!

It was funny that week, as well as Leo, has picked his favorite toy now. Just Like Jack did he has chosen the feather wand (this one has a bell on it) and he loves it. I shake it ad he comes running. I take it upstairs with us to bed at night. I was watching TV and I heard this little tinkling bell noise coming from the stairs and went to have a look and Leo has brought his toy downstairs to play with. It was so cute!  flea spot-on Then Tom had a bit of a mad moment and started meowing at a cobweb on the ceiling. I think he thought it was a fly. I knocked it off so it wouldn’t upset him anymore. I am training the babies to be spider hunters. They managed to catch their first spider the other week and Leo ate it which was disgusting but at least it got rid of it.
