Ever do the math?
We all bitch and moan about the price of gas and other items, but sometimes doing a little math puts it all into perspective. By way of example, after our cat chowed down on Darth Beer Kitty last year, she managed to catch herself a little flea circus. This was despite the religious use of Frontline and an immdiate follow up application. Beer Kitty was apparently quite the pest ridden pussy. Anyway, when I realized that the Frontline just wasn't working I went to the vet's office and she sold me a 6 pack of Assurity. It was expensive, but at the time I just wanted the little bastards dead and didn't pay much attention to the price.
Now, with the return of warmer weather, I went back to the vet for another box of Assurity. The 6 pack ended up costing $80.00. I looked at the package and each ampule contains 0.019 fluid ounces of topical flea treatment. Having 6 ampules in the packet means that I paid $80.00 for 0.114 ounces. Since there are 128 ounces in a gallon this would be equivalent to 1,122.8 packages of Assurity or 6,736.8 ampules. Factoring in the cost, I found that a gallon of Assurity flea treatment would cost a consumer $89,824.56. I think I'll buy stock in the parent company...

Get rid of the source usually helps........
Bye bye Darth
Buy seriously
Go to a feed store and go to the pest control section that farmers use. Look for malithion(??? unsure of spelling) that is @ 75%. Spread this around the yard and bye bye pest.

She is basically an indoor cat, but my daughter got it in her head to put her outside a couple of times last year. There are quite a number of barn cats running around our area so that is likely where she picked them up at. This all happened around last August and all has been well since.

Again a sarcasm button needs made.....
I know he's not wanting the cat gone.....
Hey I was close in spelling it's Malathion. You can get it in liquid or powder form, recommend the liquid, just don't let Darth Beer Cat out till it dries.

Hate to say it but looked like Darth Beer Cat wasn't really fazed by your fraud video......how did your cat manage to kill Darth Beer when I clearly posted a video of him last week being 100 percent healthy
As for you accusing Darth Beer from giving your cat a disease you better check the source, you can't be trusted┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐

Picture is old, video is new.
And for the record, I'm not that smart with computers to produce fraud movies

Teach your cat to do what a Fox does when it gets fleas.
A fox would take something that floats in its mouth (like a leaf) and then very very slowly dip himself in water. This gives the fleas time to walk up to the top and finally get to the leaf; which in the end is the only dry thing and is not submerged. Then he just lets it go and walks out. Saw this on Discovery or some other program, no joke.
Now, getting your cat to do that is gonna be the issue here...

The fox is a very clever critter
