I remember my Mum visiting a very posh couple who obviously used their 'parlour' on high days and holidays.  They hadn't owned cats for several years but Mum's ankles were bitten almost as soon as she sat down  , now me being me, would have said something 

When one of the flea-control products came onto the market in the 1990s we treated above noted cat, sadly she reacted badly.  My Vet denied it was possible but it was certainly the product.  It was a drop on behind the neck so that she couldn't groom but it seeped into the skin making her sleepy for 3 days; the 2nd treatment almost killed her, she went into a deep sleep at the back of the air-ing cupboard so I never used it again.  Problem never arose. 

If you do a 'search' for the flea comb .......

I think the product works by stopping the fleas from laying fertile eggs? I also spray the house every six months to get rid of any that have slipped through the net. We do have problems from our "spare" cats who are not always treated.

So sorry about your cat CLKD. Ours has been tested for other allergies so we do know that it is flea allergy. He is also sensitive to milk and fish but these two often go together apparently.

You don't actually get fleas in the skirting boards - the eggs roll off the coat and often end up in the cracks between floorboards, skirting boards, between sofa cushions etc. I'm itching now!!

I think he's going to be a very healthy cat, he's one of the survivors (and trust me, it's hard for everyone to survive here) and probably a very "mixed" breed which is a good guarantee regarding genetics.

Yesteday night I went to feed my father's cats and I saw his mother!! She's exactly like him (fur pattern and colour) and huge!! She lives in the streets  I wonder where are the other kittens 

For the ladies'sake, let's stop talking about fleas  but who actually need fleas and cats in order to start itching when oestrogen fluctuations does the trick quite efficiently?

I itch all over  .  So far though my legs aren't stretching tonight.  It's a sensation I am aware of in the day but fortunately it's not a problem then.
