RE: Kitty Sky Bridge part one
Thrre are currently a few too many critters here and i suspect a few may have fleas and Nikko is not socialized with dogs so right now they stay in room with me

Really? I've never heard of dogs having fleas in this state! Fleas suck, I hope they get them under control soon. :(
And yeah - I would like a dog someday, but as far as I know, Maggie and Yuan have not lived with dogs, at least not with me (they came to me as adults). So when I'm ready to take that step, I plan on fostering first as a test a) to see if they are ok with dogs and b) if I am allergic or not. Technically I'm allergfic to cats and dogs both, but with cats only their urine sets me off - I can snugfle them all day and put my nose in their fur and I'm fine. With dogs, I'm either fine or I'm instantaneously unable to breathe through my nose and having a sneezing fit and such. Most dogs I'm fine with, but when it hits, it hits hard.
Well... there's a few kitties here too. Recently rescued and their the ones with fleas. But it could have passed to the dogs, and I just really dun wanna risk it.
I meant fleas being a nuisance, period. Usually here people forego flea treatments with no problems. You're on the western slope, though, right? Maybe it's different.
Oh it can happen. Gus must of had em when I took him in, months later I found my former dog Shyler teeming with em. We found em a bit on the digs when I was over in the Pueblo area Summer of 2015. Thing is alot if kitties, particularly kittens, in feral colonies have upper respiratory issues, conjunctivitis and run down immunity so the threat of fleas and ticks is alot more real for them specially with rundown immune systems
