Dixie and I travel quite a bit so bottled water is almost a must for her. I
want to get a purifier put in here but things take time.
My vet says Sevin around Mom's home will stop fleas and won't do damage to
cats. This might work in areas for you in addition to what you are doing.
Fleas can cause lots of problems. They came in with lumber here and caused hot
spots on Dixie that got infected etc..........Big mess.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.

Great idea on the litter, I will try it.
I am trying to "green" my household also, I just ordered a new book called,
"100 Things you can do to be green".
I am doing flea treatments on my 12 felv+ fosters, they came to me w/ fleas
and I want to do 2 to 3 months of treatment.
They also live in another building on the property, it is the size of a one
car garage, only wider, and it has 2 "walkin pens" that separate the groups of
6 cats.
They have perches, windows (screened), fans, but no a/c so I leave the front
door open during the day, which is screened also.
It is supposed to be my iso / temp holding quarters, which it is for @ least
another 2 months.
I have "yard ferals" that I have relocated, and they need treatment as well
and their fleas *could* end up in the house enclosure.
It is screened w/ pet screen and topped off w/ wire, so, just trying to be
careful.
I haven't done a flea treatment on my personal cats for about 2 years, and I
have been witnessing a bit of scratching lately, so it's time.
I really meant to treat everyone as they moved to the new place, but time got
away form me.

I haven't tried that one but a holistic vet recommends Cat Nap by Aromacat.
I have friends who have had lots of luck with it. I have a bottle but haven't
used it enough to make a call for me and my circumstances. Dixie is such a
totally cool cat....when she gets upset there is a reason that needs to be
dealt with.
I mix her Arm and Hammer litter with silica crystals myself. Most of the
mixtures don't have enough of the crystals to suit me and most have the blue
disinfectant crystals. Too many people in the alternative area have told me
they are poison and it makes sense. Most disinfectants/anti-bacterial things
are. I just don't want her around them. I am building (still, after three
years and.................................) am doing everything I can to use
non-toxic/non-outgassing materials. I just don't want the stuff around us.
I love the blackboard idea. I'll try it.
If the cats are indoor why are you doing flea treatments?
