Ruby and the feral kitten that has come to live in my garden have become very friendly. They even eat out of the same dish now :lol:

However I am sure this kitten will be full of fleas and I am worried about them jumping on to Ruby. I do use a flea treatment as a preventative on Ruby but would like to de-flea the kitten also. However there is no way I would be able to catch her to get a flea collar on her or to put any flea treatment on her. Someone once told me there is a flea treatment for cats that can be given by mouth. Does anyone know what this is please? If there is some thing I could put in her food, as I do her wormer, that would be the best way.

Any ideas please

Cheers

Pauline

im sure my childhood cats got it oraly, but my cats now have always had it on the back of the neck, is there no way you could coax her into a crate with chichen or somthing?

We had a terrible job catching these kittens and their mother for neutering and had to use the vets cat trap so I was really looking for an easier way of treating her. I am also on my own here but would have to enlist help to hold her even if I could catch her.
