She is doing great. She’s been here for 2 weeks and 2 days now and she had made AMAZING strides in both behavior and personality…and yet she has such a long road ahead of her. </p> <p align="center">So now… lets share a few more pics of Miss Katie and her NEW LIFE with you. Because from here on out it only gets better.</p> <p align="center">Look how tiny!!!</p> <p align="center">No, that isn’t a giant chapstick! LOL! </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-xTpd65LdqXs/Uuv_KqMd84I/AAAAAAAAU5Y/743Qp5SrBqk/s1600-h/IMG_20140118_132036_236%25255B15%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_20140118_132036_236" border="0" alt="IMG_20140118_132036_236" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Z7bTB0gcM7w/Uuv_LrqHLWI/AAAAAAAAU5g/qdC0gv9XFO0/IMG_20140118_132036_236_thumb%25255B17%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="408" height="530" /></a></p> <p align="center">Katie had her vet visit last Tuesday and we found out she isn’t 4.3 pounds… she is <strong>3.4 pounds</strong>. I think they transposed the numbers at the HS. At least a pound underweight. We will remedy that right away. </p> <p align="center">She took to the raw diet we feed right away and I know just like we did with Holly that we will get her back to a healthy weight. Right now you can feel every bone in her body when you pet her.</p> <p align="center">She’s way to skinny! </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-5nKfJyMR66k/Uuv_MDCzxXI/AAAAAAAAU5o/RxQapnJPAWM/s1600-h/IMG_20140125_195656_667%25255B12%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_20140125_195656_667" border="0" alt="IMG_20140125_195656_667" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-AIGs58hhJbM/Uuv_M4Q6CcI/AAAAAAAAU5w/TytzEbDpQ4o/IMG_20140125_195656_667_thumb%25255B9%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="537" /></a></p> <p align="center">It’s hard to tell in pics because her silver shines back at you, but she is balding pretty bad. Her little blond head is hiding the fact that you can see her scalp. I know that proper nutrition will remedy this situation. </p> <p align="center">Holly’s hair was very thin and short most everywhere when we rescued her, and not from being groomed. It was from lack of proper nutrition, not being spayed and overactive hormones and living a very stressful life. Today her hair is thick and long and lustrous. </p> <p align="center">I know Katie will get there too. </p> <p align="center">Snoozing on the couch. Awwww. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-KRz5q4Ksheo/Uuv_NYYlZsI/AAAAAAAAU54/7A_BcdGQFns/s1600-h/100MEDIA%252524IMAG1519%25255B12%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="100MEDIA$IMAG1519" border="0" alt="100MEDIA$IMAG1519" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-KGdm3kmpCTk/Uuv_ONrXeDI/AAAAAAAAU6A/2_D2PqQyKQ8/100MEDIA%252524IMAG1519_thumb%25255B10%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="675" /></a></p> <p align="center">This pic was taken right after we introduced Holly and Katie. Holly didn’t do anything to Katie which was good, and Katie loves Holly, she loves all dogs and trust them easily, but as you can see in this pic Holly is pressed against me as hard as she can trying to get away from Katie. </p> <p align="center">Holly never had any other positive dog interaction or socialization so she doesn’t understand that Katie is a friend… Yet. I have no doubt someday in the future they will be best friends. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-AUOoq4W3iis/Uuv_PPGi2aI/AAAAAAAAU6I/RTqnC4r4sjQ/s1600-h/IMG_20140117_211541_542%25255B11%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_20140117_211541_542" border="0" alt="IMG_20140117_211541_542" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Beo39A_zI2g/Uuv_Pmn7DXI/AAAAAAAAU6Q/gag9lAeAle4/IMG_20140117_211541_542_thumb%25255B8%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="537" /></a></p> <p align="center">While Holly really wants nothing to do with Katie yet, the difference in Katie in a room alone, compared to when Holly is the room is remarkable. Her confidence perks up 100% even though they have no interaction. It’s quite amazing to see it. </p> <p align="center">Size comparison. It’s hard to imagine a dog could even be smaller than Miss Holly, who is 4.5 pounds, but you can see here she is much smaller. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-2m14Y8LSoFU/Uuv_QdE_ETI/AAAAAAAAU6Y/AAVUutah9_I/s1600-h/IMG_20140119_220954_306%25255B13%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_20140119_220954_306" border="0" alt="IMG_20140119_220954_306" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ZlDf24ty4J8/Uuv_Qx2wkQI/AAAAAAAAU6g/Bz9DscTPEiM/IMG_20140119_220954_306_thumb%25255B13%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="420" /></a></p> <p align="center">Holly in front, then Bear next to Katie. A RARE moment of sleepy calmness. She is getting better with the kitties. Bear climbed up after she was asleep so we didn’t have any drama. She still gets WAY over stimulated if they come near her when she is coherent but it is getting better by the day. Someday I think she will be better with the kitties than Holly is.

Oh boy she loved it. We gave her half of a Zukes Z-bone (all natural, of course) and Holly got the other half. Don’t worry… no one got jipped. We always only give half a bone to Holly. They just don’t make them small enough for my mini’s. Holly was done in 15 minutes… Katie took a full hour to finish hers. And she loved every second of it! </p> <p align="center"><object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/eOTH0R8Wo0w?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/eOTH0R8Wo0w?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p> <p align="center">And then a nap in Mommy’s loving arms.</p> <p align="center">♥ I am blessed.♥</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-MuKUrSXdajY/UuwUQkZSRcI/AAAAAAAAU7A/NtiiPyGv2yI/s1600-h/IMG_20140125_153608_816%25255B13%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_20140125_153608_816" border="0" alt="IMG_20140125_153608_816" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-JufTHO5wGxU/UuwURWsl3fI/AAAAAAAAU7I/73QtxGbZtz0/IMG_20140125_153608_816_thumb%25255B10%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="229" /></a></p> <p align="center">I agree with all of you about the puppymills and breeders. It breaks my heart. You all know I am an an animal advocate and speak always for those who can not speak for themselves. I always have. But now I have a dog that has suffered this abuse and it is now a daily part of our lives. </p> <p align="center">You just have no idea. You can’t even imagine. </p> <p align="center">Imagine a dog that runs in circles NONSTOP because that is all she has ever known in a cage. Nonstop! </p> <p align="center">Imagine a dog that has never felt a loving pet and shrinks into the smallest thing they can be when you lift your hand to pet them with love.</p> <p align="center">Imagine a dog so skinny that they are ravenous for food. </p> <p align="center">Imagine a dog who’s body is in such poor condition you feel you might hurt them just with your pet.</p> <p align="center">Imagine petting a skeleton. </p> <p align="center">Imagine a dog who’s feet have never walked on a floor so they cannot walk freely around your home. </p> <p align="center">This was Katie’s life. </p> <p align="center">10 years in a basement in a cage. Making babies without an ounce of compassion for her life. </p> <p align="center">Everything I ever *thought* I knew is all in perspective now. It’s all about making this little ones senior years the best they can be… and I swear to you on my life… they will be phenomenal. </p> <p align="center">But what Katie needs… what all dogs in Katie's position need is for you to speak up. </p> <p align="center">I ask you to speak up. Say something about it. Don’t be silent. I have never been silent about it. I have always spoken up… but now I am SCREAMING it from the roof tops! Don’t let another dog suffer Katie’s life. Don’t look away when you see it.</p> <p align="center">Look at Katie!!! Speak for those who cannot speak for themselves! </p> <p align="center">Be silent… and there will be thousands more just like her until the end of time. We must speak up and stop this! Is it depressing and hard to talk about? Yes! Would you rather look away than share that post? Yes! But if you do not speak for them, this will never end. </p> <p align="center">Katie came from a situation just like this. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-vbyCi-yyvz8/UuyJkvE1W_I/AAAAAAAAU7w/lXpCSE9VaC4/s1600-h/puppy_mill_awareness__by_rayven0066-d4bc13a%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="puppy_mill_awareness__by_rayven0066-d4bc13a" border="0" alt="puppy_mill_awareness__by_rayven0066-d4bc13a" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-VXOCbZK-lXA/UuyJlV1Y7uI/AAAAAAAAU74/FyzUMfxKx-A/puppy_mill_awareness__by_rayven0066-d4bc13a_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="304" height="344" /></a></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-B_l767nAT7I/UuyJnJcWuQI/AAAAAAAAU8A/0qqZKjhO58U/s1600-h/1555334_10203141694322374_718118730_n%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="1555334_10203141694322374_718118730_n" border="0" alt="1555334_10203141694322374_718118730_n" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-n7fmpw6ft1k/UuyJpdnswCI/AAAAAAAAU8I/WIQKfR2WE70/1555334_10203141694322374_718118730_n_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="399" height="290" /></a></p> <p align="center">DO SOMETHING TO STOP THIS!!! </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-P3bDA2iH930/UuyJsJQoxxI/AAAAAAAAU8Q/ysrEz8q-i30/s1600-h/stop-puppy-mill-pets-adviser%25255B3%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="stop-puppy-mill-pets-adviser" border="0" alt="stop-puppy-mill-pets-adviser" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-MTh9DFJEmjE/UuyJtkgbIPI/AAAAAAAAU8Y/8MpwqPTuiqM/stop-puppy-mill-pets-adviser_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="399" height="205" /></a></p> <p align="center">Don’t shop!!!

Hi Friends, </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
How is everyone? Good I hope! Has this weather been crazy or what? I hope you all have survived the polar vortex. Geesh… it’s been miserable. And everyone here at Primcats has cabin fever! Ready for spring. It can’t come soon enough! </div>
<div align="center">
<br />
So the big news around here is that we adopted another dog. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
What? </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
The Primcats adopted another dog? </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Yep, sure did.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Katie is a 10 year old Yorkshire Terrier. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Katie has a pretty sad story to tell. </div>
<div align="center">
Katie was a basement breeder. A puppymill dog. She lived in a basement for 10 years mass producing puppies so her “owner” could sell them. There were 4 of them. 3 females and one male. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
She wasn’t loved. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
She wasn’t part of a family. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
She wasn’t bathed or brushed. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
She wasn’t fed enough. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
She wasn’t petted. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
She wasn’t played with. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
She slept in her urine and feces. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
She existed for the sole purpose of making money for a very evil, cruel, heartless person… and nothing more. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
But Katie got lucky. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
That evil person passed away and a family member took all 4 of the dogs to the local Humane Society and surrendered them.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Katie was taken in and freed of her terribly matted fur with a full shave and a bath. </div>
<div align="center">
She was also spayed and they cleaned her teeth. Many were rotted and she lost some of them. But now she was ready for a new life! </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I saw Katie’s picture they day they put it up and I was instantly taken with her. <br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
That look in her eyes… it broke my heart. I didn't know her story then (I found out later) … but I could already see it in her eyes. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
These are the two pics taken and posted by the Humane Society after she was shaved and freed of her matted fur. </div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I posted Katie to my face book right away hoping someone else would save me from what I was about to ask my husband for. LOL! I begged someone to adopt her and save me from myself. I REALLY did. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
There she sat for days… and then it was a week. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I checked every day.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
DAMMIT! I texted Shane her pics.<br />
And the conversation went like this:</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Me: Picture, picture, 10 yr old 4.5 pound yorkie. Mine?</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Him: Cute.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Me: Mine? </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Him: Cute. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Me: MEAN!!!! </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I was kidding… sort of. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
End of conversation, or so he thought. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
(side note: I have wanted a yorkie for years. He has always known that. Just like he always knew I wanted and would have a Chihuahua someday. In fact just over New Years our neighbor’s sister was in town with her little one so we had JUST had a conversation about how I want one so bad. And in total fairness he loves them too.)</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
So then the HS put up some new pics of her coming out of her scared shell a few days later.</div>
<div align="center">

She looks kinda fat here but it’s because she’s bunched up.

She laid on my lap and didn’t move once in 40 minutes. It was sad. She pancaked flat to every touch. Poor thing. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
So I sent the pics to him. I can only imagine what he was thinking. I told him I met her and requested a home visit with her because of the kitties and Holly. Holly doesn’t like other dogs. At ALL! So honestly… this was a long shot. But to me it was worth it. He agreed… but I am sure he cussed me. LOL! </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
The Humane Society agreed to a home visit since I am a previous foster for them and we set up a time for her to come out and I could keep her for the weekend.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I got a nice spot made for her and we waited. </div>
<div align="center">

She came on Friday night the 17th. The day before my birthday. Shane took one look and said “Awwwww.” And I knew he was taken. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
We took her into a quite room and she promptly peed on the floor. lol. Mine she said. <img alt="Winking smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-winkingsmile" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-NmbOIv9M8U0/Uuv16bsEu_I/AAAAAAAAU40/fVahs9voEcs/wlEmoticon-winkingsmile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" /><br />
<br />
And then we had to introduce her a cat for the very first time. I was nervous. They didn't cat test her before she came. But it had to be done. <br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I decided on Tracy because before we rescued Tracy she lived with dogs and knew what they were. Katie however had clearly never seen a cat… And in the span of a minute she went though every emotion ever. It was crazy.<br />
<br />
Happy, Sad, Scared, fearful, bouncy, frightened, joyful, attacky, barking, whimpering, whining… EVERYTHING! </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
She had clearly never seen a cat in her life. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Tracy took it all in stride just like I knew she would. Good kitty! </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Here is a clip AFTER Katie calmed down a bit. If you can believe that’s calmer! </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Tracy just looked at her like… CHILL!!!!! HA!</div>

We all just shook our heads and said… well… lets try it anyway. <img alt="Winking smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-winkingsmile" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-NmbOIv9M8U0/Uuv16bsEu_I/AAAAAAAAU40/fVahs9voEcs/wlEmoticon-winkingsmile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" /> </div>

<div align="center">
Introductions to Holly went as I expected, Holly doesn't like her. She just wants her to go away. lol. But alas… that’s not how it works around here. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
We had our ups and downs over the weekend. Problems with Katie towards the cats. Problems with Holly toward Katie. Problems with Katie’s behavior issues. But by Tuesday I had made my decision. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Katie wants to be a good dog… she just needs a safe, loving home to do that in. ♥ And we are it. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Holly still hasn't accepted Katie. And that’s ok. We know it will take time. But here are my two little girls being tricked by me into sitting together for green bean treats. </div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Hi Friends,</div>
<div align="center">
I have been staring at this corner for months. Empty. </div>
<div align="center">
After taking down the Christmas tree in February I just wasn’t feeling it at all. I brought my spring boxes upstairs but nothing was coming to me. I am not one to leave things “undone” but I just left them there. Piled up in front of my beautiful chippy doors. </div>
<div align="center">
Until… I found my inspiration at the Gathered Treasures show. I picked up a bunch of great treasures there is always. I just love the Gathered Treasures show! </div>

The most important piece I found is the trunk! Old and rugged! A great base for the corner. </div>

It’s that time of year again! FLEAS! YUK! </p> <p align="center">I often get asked about how I deal with keeping our house flea free having 14 cats. Cats that have access to an outdoor cat enclosure where they could get fleas. </p> <p align="center">Well, the answer is simple, I use Frontline Plus. And I am ashamed to say I do. </p> <p align="center">Truly. Honestly. Ashamed. </p> <p align="center">As a natural cat mom I try my best not to put anything harmful into our cats bodies or environments. But fleas are one issue I have never won using natural treatments. I have tried them all. If you have read it or seen it on the internet or heard about it from a friend… we have done it. But we have always ended up with fleas. </p> <p align="center">I think a lot of natural treatments not working has to do with the fact that we have so many cats that do have access to the outside, albeit an enclosed space that they can’t escape from, but fleas can still get in. So our chances of getting fleas are much, much higher than the average household. And our cats all go out to the enclosure, and we are surrounded by other people who own pets who all roam bring fleas into our area. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Rps1oEZE_bY/UYr8IowcqUI/AAAAAAAARl0/gCVarZudzvU/s1600-h/house2%25255B16%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="house2" border="0" alt="house2" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-NoFKS_G8_CE/UYr8Jm7OVJI/AAAAAAAARl8/OqnCcl-3Mo4/house2_thumb%25255B17%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="381" height="179" /></a></p> <p align="center">The fact in our house is this… natural treatments have never worked for us and I will never again chance another infestation while attempting to go natural. </p> <p align="center">Ashamed? Yes. But also flea free. </p> <p align="center">I pick my battles and with fleas I use WMD’s knowing full well that they are terrible chemicals. But I guess I just have to take my chances. Okay. I am done explaining myself and trying to defend my decision. Even I struggle with this one as I know even in my own head it makes no sense and it endangers my cats. Sigh. But again… we haven’t had fleas in years. </p> <p align="center">The one thing I want to be VERY clear about here though is that <strong><u>I only treat my cats 2 times a year.</u></strong> Spring and fall. I do <u>not</u> treat monthly. I have found it’s unnecessary. 2 times a year works as well as monthly in our situation. So keep that in mind when treating your animals. </p> <p align="center">I would not treat at all if I had just 2 cats that never went outside. You would be treating for something that had no risk. No need to put chemicals into your cats body if they aren't even going to get a flea. </p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center">Next question I get is this: </p> <p align="center">How can you afford to treat 14 cats with Frontline Plus?</p> <p align="center">The answer to that question can be found here. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.lisaviolet.com/cathouse/advantage.html">http://www.lisaviolet.com/cathouse/advantage.html</a></p> <p align="center">I have been using this method for minimum 10 years. It’s true. Check the package ingredients yourself. </p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center">Question: I flea treated my cat with a spot on but it still has fleas. What can I do?  </p> <p align="center">You can buy Capstar. The Capstar will kill all the fleas on your cat almost instantly and the frontline will prevent re-infestation. Use the Capstar right away. It will kill all fleas on your cat with in an hour. It is imperative that you do not skip this. I have used this product many many times in rescue.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-24RBDaWwgp0/UYGCAYqmuDI/AAAAAAAARdE/XnAuqSyH9tk/s1600-h/flea%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="flea" border="0" alt="flea" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-7y0IQDzO2pY/UYGCBony0lI/AAAAAAAARdM/YumjJUqi6_8/flea_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="399" height="353" /></a></p> <p align="center">Frontline (or advantage, revolution, promeris, etc.) is only effective if the flea bites the cat. Fleas have a 3 week lifespan and only feed for a few days of those three weeks, so you must use Capstar to kill all live fleas on your cat instantly. After you Capstar add on the Frontline Plus and it will keep fleas future fleas off your cat. Any eggs that hatch will be killed when they feed by the Frontline. </p> <p align="center">Information:</p> <p align="center">Capstar <a href="http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=11744">http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=11744</a></p> <p align="center">Treats flea infestations on pets. Starts killing adult fleas on the pet within 30 minutes. One dose lasts 24 hours. Use when pets are likely to be exposed to fleas. Also may be used prior to surgery, boarding, or grooming. Active ingredient is Nitenpyram, which interferes with the normal nerve transmission of insects, effectively killing them. Not a preventive. For pets over four (4) weeks of age. Package of 6. </p> <p align="center"><strong>Frontline</strong> <a href="http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3261+1991+7160&pcatid=7160">http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3261+1991+7160&pcatid=7160</a></p> <p align="center">contains fipronil, which spreads via the body oils killing fleas within 24 hours and ticks within 48 hours. Ticks are generally killed before they bite, decreasing the risk of tick-borne disease transmission. Approved for use on kittens 8 weeks and older. </p> <p align="center">Frontline Plus also contains (S)-methoprene, an Insect Growth Regulator, which prevents an insect from maturing or reproducing. Approved for use on kittens 8 weeks and older. </p> <p align="center">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p> <p align="center">So that’s my flea advice for Caturday. </p> <p align="center">Until next time… </p> <p align="center">Carmen and the Primcats</p> Carmen and the Primcatshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07493751333942366421noreply@blogger.com4
