Nope. No screened porch (although I wish I had one). And, I'm in Northern Virginia, near Washington DC, where it generally gets cold enough in the winter to kill off the fleas and other bugs.

Maybe someone did bring a flea or two in with them, or maybe I picked one up in the yard one of the times I didn't douse myself in bug spray before I went out.

I don't like chemicals but I'm certainly thankful for the modern-day flea control products. And I certainly will be more vigilant in the future!

>>Carol: I can imagine that you are appalled about the fleas.

>>I'm wondering, do you live in a mild temperate climate? If you do, it is very likely that the fleas in your are do not "winter kill" and therefore, you must take extra precautions with your cats. I live in Central WA and we have winters cold and hard enough that fleas and other parasites die each winter. Over in the Seattle area, the temperatures are much more moderate and the fleas/parasites do not winter kill.

>>LIONS,TONKS, AND FLEAS....OH MY!!
