Earlier this summer we had a flea invasion.

It made the kitties miserable

and it made us peeps have to work like crazy to eradicate the horrible things.

Miss Marley with her long fine fur suffered the worst.

She has bald spots on her back legs from the scratching, poor baby.

She was so afraid to be on the floor where the fleas could get her

that she refused to leave the windowsill for weeks other than to potty.

We had to feed her on the windowsill so she wouldn’t starve.

We are so thankful those nasty bugs are gone and our girl is feeling better.

Fleas are awful and summer is the season for them.

We have an article here on what to do if you’ve never had to deal with them.

I just love the shape of a cat’s ears, no matter what angle.

The shape of them from behind …

from the side …

Full on from the front …

Even partially mangled from a car engine,

cat ears are beautiful.

It’s Thankful Thursday and we are thankful for our kitties,

our friends online and off

and our kind neighbors.

What are you thankful for today?
