Yes, it’s a miscellaneous kind of Monday around these parts, so I though I’d update you on a few things.
Fleas, let’s talk about fleas for just a minute. As you might recall, “flea” was the only positive from Zoe’s serum allergy test, so Zoe started on her flea pills this past week. Zoe is taking a flea pill called Comfortis since the Vet said that a topical wouldn’t be as good in this situation. No problems from Zoe, she always takes her pills like a real champ. In the meantime, Zoe still has 2 more days of her prednisone and then she will have 1 pill every other day for 2 weeks, then she will be all done with that one. By the way, Sister Zoe seems to be doing pretty darn good, no itching, licking or pulling out of the furs.
So, the Derm Vet said the rest of us needed flea treatments as well and the Dad opted for Advantage II. We all were really cooperative and actually we didn’t mind it at all. However, one of us had a negative reaction to the flea meds, and that would be Sister Precious. She was throwing up her foods and was pretty lathargic for a couple of days. Fortunately the yuckies passed quickly and she seems normal again, well, normal for her that is MOL!
Anyways, how do you like those claws in my pic today? I thought I’d show some claws because it rhymes with PAWS, as in PAWS of CT. Why the rhyme?
Well, as most of you know, somehow our other blog, ForeverHomeWanted.com is a Petties finalist in the Best Rescue/Cause Blog category. With a win comes some $$$$ and should we win, the $1000 prize will go to PAWS of CT, as we so admire the good things they do and the high standards they set for themselves. Remember, you can vote daily through August 7th HERE.
Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!

I’m glad that Zoe is doing better now that she is taking the flea pills! We ALL hate getting that Advantage treatment.
Glad the yuckies is over for sweet Precious. We have missed you.
Have a marvellous Monday.
Best wishes Molly
So glad Sister Zoe’s feeling much better and we hope her furs will fill in quickly. Sorry Sister Precious had a reaction to the flea treatment and so happy she’s okay now. Tutu was the only who had a reaction to the flea treatment but it was limited to just losing a patch of fur where the flea treatment was placed. Her furs have all grown back now so it’s all good. 🙂
so happy that Zoe is feeling better
paws crossed for the prize
Sure sounds like you have those darn fleas under control. Our dog gets that comfortis too. It really works. So glad that Sister Zoe is feeling better. Great news.

We had read the update about sweet Zoe and the flea allergy and are so glad you now know what is going on and are happy to hear this about her doing well, continued purrs to the sweetheart. Sorry to hear that it was hard on Precious but glad she is now better. Yay for choosing PAWS as your rescue, cool! Have a great day everyone!
I alwaysopt to Advantage too.
Have a delicious week my dear friends!
oh dear poor Precious,its good to hear about Zoe’s news though,xx Speedy
Poor Zoe and Precious. Buddy knows how Zoe feels with the itchies.
Comfortis works immediately so that is a good thing. Is she going to have to continue on Comfortis or will the Advantage work ok for her too? We are voting everyday and we hope you win!
Your claws are fantastic, Brian! And we are SO happy to hear that Zoe and Precious are doing much better. 🙂
We’re voting every day! THANK YOU for choosing PAWS. We’re incredibly moved and honored by amazing gesture, and as always, grateful for your continued friendship.
Big hugs!
So glad to hear Sister Zoe is doing better! Who woulda thunk a teeny tiny bug could cause so much harm?! It’s no joke, though, we know from our Rascal and foster Sophia just how much trouble those fleas can make.
Good, too, to hear Sister Precious made it through the yuckies. Sure wish we didn’t have to take the medicines!
Happy Monday, and congrats again on the Petties nomination!
Paws crossed that you kitties all get healthy and back to normal asap.
Hurrah fer Zoe gettin bettur n we iz sad da precious had a reeackshun to da Advantage!! Guud greef; iz like ya take 2 stepz forwerd n one step back…

Much lub Nylablue =^,,^=
we are glad everyone is (mostly) doing better 🙂
I hate fleas… We used to use Advantage II and have used pills with the same ingredient as Comfortis. This year I solemnly swore to quit all of those and give natural flea and tick control my most diligent try and so far, so good! I know we are only half way through the bad blood sucking season but I won’t give up until I see a flea!
YES INDEEDY LIVING IN THE HUMID SOUTH FLEAS ARE ALWAYS AFTER OUR BLOODS!! I JUST HAD MY MONTHLY FLEA APPLICATION TODAY.
HEADING OVER TO VOTE..WE HOPE SOMETIMES WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THOSE SITES.
HUGS MADI YOUR BFFF
So glad that Zoe is doing better. Yikes – FLEAS! So far I haven’t had any and we don’t use any preventer either. But then I’m not outside very much, and when I am it’s only in the grass for about a half hour or maybe 45 minutes. Hope I don’t get any either.
Yuck, fleas. I hope the fleas flee from your place and quickly. glad both Precious and Zoe are doing better. Love those little sharp needles you’re showing for PAWS! PAWS crossed that you win.
Yay for Zoe, not so much for Precious (that lethargy can SCARE our humans for sure!). ANd concats on your other blog being a Petties finalist! We’re voting every day!!!
I am glad Zoe is feeling lots better. I am voting for you every day.
Those darn little fleas. Glad you’re getting them taken care of.
I’m so glad the fleas are doing better. Well, I should say I’m glad Zoe is doing better!
Just voted!
Glad Zoe is doing better! My boys are on Comfortis, too, for flea prevention as one of them had a bad reaction to topical treatment before.
Love your picture with open paw 🙂 Have a great new week!
Those are some fancy dancing claws fur sure. Poor Precious and hope Zoe continues to get her allergy under control.
you have very ferocious looking clawrs, Brian! we noticed them straight away 🙂 we think it is pawsome of you to donate to PAWS if you win the Pettie. We’re voting for you! oh, Precious’ reaction is one reason our mom hates to use those topical treatments. We hate the stuff anyways tho if our mom needs to treat us, she opens one and uses a few drops on all of us. We are hugely thankful fleas haven’t invaded our house. We’re glad Precious is back to herself and Zoe is better too! purrs,
Pip, Smidgen, Minnie, Hollie
So glad to hear that Zoe is doing so much better! And that Sister Precious recovered from her flea-med reaction. Concats on your Petties nomination – we have been voting for you every day!
We have been voting for you in the Petties efurryday. We love your selection for the green papers if you win. Mom was inspired by Sparkle’s mom, and we are now sponsoring a kitty named Swizzle at PAWS. So happy Zoe is doing better, and hope Precious gets over her reaction very soon.
