Ewwwyyyyy
Alright so, you know how we've got my Tigger, our cat inside?
Not TOO long after we got him a cat showed up and turned out she was pregnant and she had kittens. So after that, there's five cats living outside... I REALLY wish they had never fed that fucking cat so she'd have gone on somewhere else. Not kidding, I don't MIND having cats around, I don't have anything to do with them so it doesn't matter, but every single one of them seems to have fleas.
Which is expected, they're outside animals, they're gonna have fleas and shit.
HOWEVER, recently, Tigger has taken to running out onto the porch when we open the door. He doesn't go far, he mostly runs out and then freezes and hunkers down in a manner that distinctly says "yay, freeeedooom- wait... THE FUCK IS THIS?!?! AHHHHH" and then the other cats come over and start sniffing at him (cause he's like... the size of two of them put together, really, they're small cats).
Well, we can't STOP him running out, he darts out when you open the door, and very rarely are we coming in or going out that we've not got our hands full of bags and cups and shit, you know? So you have to go in, put your shit down, then come back and get him, by which time the other cats are all near him...
I AM SO FUCKING PARANOID THEY WILL GIVE HIM FLEAS!
He doesn't wear a collar so keeping a flea collar on that cat will be hell, I'm sure. So far, my mom actually even has PETTED him before, if he gets fleas, she'll never touch him again (explanation: My mom doesn't touch animals, ever. She cannot STAND the idea of an animal touching her at all) and he's gotten used to sitting in her lap. The only reason she let us keep him inside is because we found him as a kitten (he's probably about a year old now <3) wandering around cold and hungry in the yard, meowing his little head off and shaking like a leaf, and we brought him inside planning on keeping him in the laundry room until he was big enough to fend for himself outside, only then after the second night, they started letting him out of the laundry room and only putting him in there at night, then later they started only putting him in there at meal times, and within six months, they never shut him up in there, they let him out all the time. By the time he was big enough to put outside, we were all too scared he'd get eaten by something or ran over, and he doesn't shed like most of the cats people have that I've seen their houses where it's like... covered in fur and all icky and shit (Idk why, but I'm not allergic to Tigger, yet anybody else with a cat that sheds a lot, my eyes nearly swell SHUT in their house). He's a very clean cat, he literally only had 2 accidents that first night he was inside, then he found the litter box and never did it again, he doesn't turn stuff over, he doesn't knock things off shelves, he's a VERY good animal to have inside.
Seriously, we did this once before when I was very small, we found a girl kitten abandoned and she was MUCH younger, my dad fed her kitten formula in a bottle and took her to work with him so he could feed her during the day and everything, but as soon as she was big enough, my mom made us put her outside, lmao.
If he gets fleas, Tigger may be put outside and I DO NOT want my kitty to get eaten or ran over or something! He's the first pet we've had since I was a little girl and I'm pretty sure if anything happened to him, my dad would cry like a little girl (he calls him 'my boy' and holds that cat in his lap all night watching tv, then lets Tigger sleep in the bed with him, lol.) and my siblings would all be distraught.
FUCK YOU FLEAS!!!
