I have a beautiful tortoise shell calico. I was brushing her tonight and noticed she had a lot of flea dirt. I thought it was odd since, as far as I knew, she didn't have fleas. I combed more and more and found more and more. Finally I started combing her hair apart to check if she did have fleas and saw one move. I parted some more hair just to make sure and I found another one, or could have been the same one I don't know. A couple years ago we had fleas pretty bad on all our animals. At the time it was 4 cats, 2 ferrets and 2 dogs and our main concern was the ferrets since they can die from anemia from flea bites. We used some flea spray for the vet and it really helped. There were no more fleas on the ferrets and we didn't find any on the cats either. Last night was the first time I have seen one since that time. Two of my cats are much easier to check because they are lighter colored so you can see fleas move through the fur. None of them have shown signs of extra itchiness.

I've known this guy for six months and never knew he was interested in me (I'm very insecure and have low self-esteem). A friend said she noticed months ago that he would light up every time I talked. *I* found out two weeks ago he was into me. We cuddled all night long and we kissed. I told him I wanted to take things slow so we didn't muck up our friendship. We talked last weekend and we hugged and I told him I'd missed him and he said he missed me too. He was going to come over Wednesday night but was tired from work and playing with his son. My gut tells me he's into me or he wouldn't have done or said a lot of the things he's done. I have never really done the dating phase. In my past relationships we met online talked on the phone a lot then became a couple. So this is new to me. It's driving me nuts not having him call me. He has been divorced twice. Do I just need to be patient and see what happens? Does he sound interested to you?
