cats...and fleas

Well, the fleas are being beaten. Slowly but surely. This is the homemade flea trap. It consist of a jellyroll pan, dishwashing soap (of the liquid kind) and water. Place a light above it and wa-la (ok, I am not really sure how to spell that, so just say it like it looks...) many small DEAD fleas in the morning. Of course, it does interfere with my sleep since I prefer to sleep in as dark a room as possible. Just ask John who laughs at me because there are socks covering up the lights ( AKA beacons) on the TIVO.
Poor Wiggie, he has to stay outside until he can get a flea dip. The frontline was a little late in being applied. Poor timing by his human...Although, he doesn't look too miserable on top of his human's car!
Then there is Fraser, he found a box to rest on. He is hoping when someone opens the door, he will slip in. He too will get the dreaded flea dip later this week.

Not disgusting - hopefully it works because I'm doing it now before fleas literally carry my house away.
