So, my friend went on holiday and asked me to look after her kitten. My kitten is her kittens sister, so I said yes thinking it was probably the best place for her to be so she has some familiar company. She brought her over said hello and left. Within minutes I noticed that she was riddled with fleas. The word infestation does not define the amount of fleas she has. I put a comb through her and it was crawling so much it was impossible to count how many there are. She knows full well I spend alot of money keeping my cats in top condition, frontline the works even though they're indoor cats. As we speak she is having her flat fumigated because of the infestation.. so why the hell didn't she tell me before she brought her here? Why did she bring her problem into my flea free house knowing how well I look after my cats? I'm so f***ing angry with her.. I told her if she didn't get it sorted I would speak to the RSPCA about it, all she said was "I didn't want her back anyway." She had no intetion of getting her kitten back, and leaving the problem with me. I phoned the RSPCA, they will rehome her now but for the mean time, she is still here covered in fleas. I have no frontline because my cats aren't due yet, and no money till next Wednesday so there is nothing I can do. Why can't people look after their pets properly?!

I dunno, but it absolutely sickens me when people don't! Good on you for taking care of yours though.

It's so bad not properly caring for a pet you have. What happened to the though a pet is a member of your family.

Ugh that's horrible!! And so rude. Why get an animal if you're not gonna look after it

FLEAS thats really bad! and now you run the risk of a house infestation, tell her to get her arse to the vet and buy the frontline, and if you have to treat your house, f***ing bill her! I frontlined mine last night cos they were due....I really really HATE fleas!

I feel for you. I had someone look after my kitten and cat in the summer for a few days while i went away. They also have a cat.

Mine came back riddled with fleas. What could i do though? I couldnt complain to a person who kindly took care of my cats. Even now i have used three courses of flea treatment and i am still finding them.

Im going for one more course of spot on and spot on worming at the same time. Im going to spray the house. After that i have no frigging idea, maybe put some garlic oil in the cats food - OMG can you imagine thier farts
