Happy Tuesday, everyone~

I planned to have some merpony Bruce content uploaded for the month of MerMay, buuut I hit a small snag. I've been dealing with some stray cats in my backyard, which seemed like a non-issue at first, but quickly became a problem when it turned out they were carrying fleas. Lots of them. Which took up residence in my yard and swarmed all over my dog. It has been awful, relentless work to destroy the infestation. Bug bombs, pesticide sprays, wrangling poor Daisy into the tub with a flea comb and picking them off one by one. It gives me the willies just thinking about those bugs crawling through her fur. Oh, and the cats abandoned a pair of young kittens behind one of our potted plants. 🙃

(I call the black one Cheesecake and the stripey one Cannoli)

So it's been a bit of an ordeal wiping out the infestation and finding somebody to take in the kittens. I thank you all for your patience and support, it means a lot! I will have some (belated) MerMay content uploaded over the coming days, and hopefully fresh art as well. Hope everyone had a lovely May, here's hoping for a wonderful summer~

No rush on Mermay, Lop. You’re a saint for taking care of these kitties and little Daisy so well. I hope they all stay safe and healthy. Take care!

Oh look at the precious babbus!! I wish we lived in the same state I would take them in a heartbeat. Im an animal foster mom and orphaned/abandoned kittens are by FAR the most common animal I see (FIX YOUR DAMN CATS PEOPLE). I have raised legions of kittens.

Good luck with all and don't worry about posting! Btw with Daisy and fleas have you tried dawn diah soap and a little apple cider vinegar? That works great for killing fleas

I wish you could've taken them! They were all hot and dirty and crying at the TOP of their lungs, I waited and waited for mama cat to show up but she just never did. :/ Pretttty sure it's the same mother cat that ditched that other kitten on my front porch last year. Cheesecake and Cannoli are probably the little siblings of Tiramisu, the resemblance is strong. I REALLY wish people around here would spay/neuter their cats, or maybe just stop letting their pet cats roam? It's spooky to hear them yowling at night

I've never heard of using vinegar, thanks for the tip! I've been using dawn dish soap lately because I didn't wanna irritate her skin with too much flea shampoo. The soap suffocates (?) the fleas, then I get em off with a flea comb. I will try ac vinegar if the problem persists, I literally tossed her in the bathtub last night before bed because I spotted a bug on her. :/

Good luck, I hope everything gets all sorted out! I know when our cat got fleas we were recommended a seresto collar and that thing worked like magic. Never used it on a dog before, but I know there’s a version for dogs too. Our vet also said washing all bedding etc. on hot in a washing machine should kill most eggs/larva etc. Hope you find a place for the kitties soon and that Daisy feels better!

Fleas can also carry tapeworm eggs, so make sure to call the vet about a dewormer for Daisy! Most of the dewormers you can get at PetSmart or PetCo or other pet shops aren't formulated for tapeworms.

Ach, I didn't know that! I think I'm just gonna take her to the vet this week and have her look Daisy over (and pick up Daisy's parasite prevention meds)

Hopefully if you go to your council/pound you can borrow cat traps for them and when you get them send them to humane shelters <3 my parent's live on a property so we get cats dumped there all the time :( but we have a cat trap at home and save them fairly often <3

SO SHMOLL Ack - I used to deal with flea infestations constantly as a kid. I had to get my cat a Seresto collar and spray stuff down with wintergreen alcohol before washing it in hot water. Just make sure pets are nowhere near the alcohol fumes. For Daisy, the Seresto collars are like $50-60 (I found them cheapest online at Walmart) and good for 6-8 months. Avoid using anything with permethrin or essential oils on the kittens cause it's toxic to cats. The dawn dish soap baths no more than twice a week are a good start. It's scary when kittens get flea infestations because the blood loss and parasites kill them so quick :(

You’re welcome!Daisy, Cheesecake and Cannoli are lucky little fur babies.
