My Fourth?

Real excitement around the Benzadmiral household. I bought a vacuum cleaner.

I know, I know, you're saying to yourselves, "How can one man stand the non-stop excitement that is this guy's life?"

Simple answer: Valium.

Actually it's because of the kitten, Miss Tatiana. She reacts badly to flea bites (as do I), and the topical treatments have only lessened the problem. So I bought a modern bagless vacuum, sprayed the entire carpet, and then ran the machine. (Gawd, the gunk it pulled up!)

Linda tells me the vacuum pressure alone is enough to kill the fleas, but she's volunteered to vacuum once a week, after I spray the carpet that morning. Plus the cats get flea treatment once a month. We'll see if this helps the kitten's skin.
