seriously though go to san antonio sometime. the alamo is good history but it's kind of hilarious because it's just like...in the middle of downtown. like there's a strip centre of restaurants across from it and you p much are just walking down a city block and suddenly alamo lmao
and there's always a preacher out there telling you you're gonna GO TO HELL
I was always entertained by the holes cut in the stone walls/ceiling for A/C units and the sheer amount of souvenir shops inside this historical monument with all this semi-sacred history.
Capitalism, baby

Welp, the cat we have outside, Skitty.(Yes I named my cat after a Pokemon) seems to want back in before it gets colder out, which means will have a head full of cat hair. Bleugh.
My cat has a flea problem, which is pretty irritating. I've given it several flea baths, combed it with a flea comb, sprayed it with some flea spray stuff, given it a flea collar, and have used some kind of flea drops on it and nothing seems to be working. I've also sprayed the house with flea killer like 4 times. Thought I finally got rid of them, but I found two on it today. It doesn't even ever go outside, so it's just some really resilient fleas or something.

what brand of flea drops are you using? certain brands work best in different areas (for example, revolution is useless here, so everyone uses advantage. but in other places, advantage doesn't work so people use seresto collars, etc.) pretty much anything you get without having to ask someone to open the cabinet isn't going to work very well in general - and can even cause serious chemical burns. same for flea collars. the cheap ones at petsmart are more dangerous than they are helpful, unfortunately.
i am actually having a serious flea issue too with my dog. apparently none of the topical flea medications are doing the job here, and spraying the yard didn't seem to help too much (and we regularly go on walks in the woods too so it's not just my yard.) so i get to go to the vet and get a prescription for the pills or some other kind of really powerful medication because my dog is covered in scabs and spends more time scratching his skin off than he does anything else. the weird thing is they really aren't on the cats too bad, and they're absolutely not on us.
apparently my area has crazy amounts of fleas because of feral cats, though i think my landlord has trapped or shot all of them at this point (not counting the two i picked up off the road and are now on my wall,) so hopefully it'll get better in the future.
I'm not sure about the drops, but the collar, shampoo, and spray were all Sergeants Silver because that's all the store I went to had. Which is probably why none of it worked, because after a quick Google search, I've realized that Sergeants is an awful brand and they have a ton of 1 star reviews on several different sites.

yeah i'd try drops from either advantage or revolution, they both are pretty good, but pricey. and honestly? i don't bother with flea shampoo anymore because dawn dish soap works just as well and isn't harsh and chemically. we use it to bathe baby kittens and they never have a reaction, and it suffocates the fleas and kills them. i'd give the kitty a dawn bath first, let her dry, then the next day give her a good topical and that should handle it.
Alright I'll do that. I normally do a lot of research before buying things but for some reason it didn't cross my mind with flea treatment. I figured that, like most medicines, most of them contain the same things in them. Oops. And I'll try giving him/her (I honestly can't tell if it's a boy or girl) a dawn bath. Honestly what's worked the best so far was just combing it's fur with a flea comb. I got a lot of live ones out with it and he/she didn't scratch for like 4 days afterward.
