What about fleas? Sure would like something natural to put on my two cats.

Last year I got some commercial flea meds for my cats, and after a few hours the male, Koko, started falling off chairs that he had leapt onto the previous day. He also started climbing up my pants leg, which is absolutely forbidden, going to the potty on any availible flat area, and crying because he was hungry, didn't seem to be able to remember where the food dish was.

The other one started hiding out, and since she never gains weight I was afraid she would get really ill. She seemed frightened of even Koko, mentally off.

Called my sister, her 3 huge rescue cats were vomiting and falling off the couch that they had been sleeping on for years.
She had also put flea meds on her cats.

Called my daughter in Texas near Ft.Worth, said that she thought her cats had the flu because of sudden rain, but yes, she had just put flea meds on them. All of us bathed our fur babies, and they slowly got back to normal.

I think the brand I used was Advantage, sister used it too but don't remember what my daughter used.

Still wanting a natural flea medicine for my fur kids.

Darnit, forgot about Avon's Skin So Soft. Even my nice son-in-law said he used it in jungle swamps he had to wade through.
One daughter raised Chows, one of which had an allergy and kept digging at it's skin so that it had a bare spot. DD put on some Skin so Soft and the fur grew back in so pretty that she had the dog shaved and rubbed the oil in it often, fur came back in looking lovely.
