Advise for treating fleas on grown cats you cannot bathe
I have 2 grown cats , male and female, both are fixed. The female is about 2 years older and they are not familial. They have lived together mostly peacefully for the past 5 years.
Recently it has been discovered that we have the beginnings of a flea problem. I absolutely can not bathe these cats in flea shampoo. About 2 years ago we had a flea problem again. We bathed the male with no problem but when we bathed the female he attacked her. While we were bathing her. So we were left with some bloody soapy scratches and fighting cats. I got cat-scratch-fever because of it. 311
The fighting between the cats continued for 2 weeks. Every time he saw her he would make this deep "wow" sounding growl and her and then attack. Not like your regular playful pounce a real attack. When she saw him she would pee in the floor. She ended up with a bloody scratch across her eye.
2 years later , things are peaceful and normal. I need to treat the fleas. I have given them a topical and a flea collar. I am going to be treating my furniture today. I don't think the cheap topical I gave them is helping.
What do I do ?? 664
