Food grade diatomaceous earth is just that - food grade. No tiny pieces. It's
as fine as talcum powder and I have used it on my enclosure floors in my
outside cat sanctuary with excellent results and no problems with either my
breathing or any of my cats, including the older cats. But it must say "food
grade" on the bag. Mine shows a picture of a cow. It's used as a calcium
supplement in livestock.

I think there are Super Fleas in Texas this year. I treated my fur kids with
Frontline Plus and they just kept on scratching. Next is to wash, vacuum
floors, change the covers on their sleeping places again and treat the floor
with the diamatom earth and see what happens. I'm going to rub a little on one
of the cats and see if the scratching stops. My outdoor cats don't seem to have
this problem.
