What is the problem? As opposed to putting drops on the cat? I think we all
want to do what is the best for our immune compromised friends to keep them
healthy.
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.

I use the Sevin for my feral colonies, it is safe.
There is another product that is safer for the environment.
I will see if I can dig up the name.

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.

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?
