kitty is OK .. he's only 4 weeks old, but eats nicely, does all the kitty stuff, like having fleas. The vet told me to use some powder, apply it for 30 min, and rinse it, but the guy at the store didn't want to sell it to me, saying I'd kill the kitty (he's too small for that kind of things to be used on him) so he recommended a bit of vinegar in water, to soak the fur with it, so the fleas get "drunk" and slow, and then to take them off one by one ... and I did that .. it worked, but there must have been a lot of larva, because now, about 20 hours later, he has fleas again ... larva must have hatched ..
OK .. now the question (finally) ... how quickly do fleas do that ... lay eggs, hatch? ... because .. this little guy doesn't like getting wet, but I'm not sure how long to wait before I do the soaking thing again ... and, well, he sleeps on my bed ... in his blanky ... but .. can fleas live there too? ... do I need to change the blanket every day till we get rid of fleas completely?
