Finally! I am able to post a photo of the 4-week old Siamese Lynx Point Kitten! [View all]



He looks very unhappy, but right now he's having a ball, playing with anything he can find in the bathroom. He started eating on his own last night, but I'm still syringe feeding him also but not as much. He enjoys that.

He still needs good thoughts and vibes. Went to the vet's again this morning because of the ticks, which were worse this morning...really small ones and just about everywhere. Gave him half a dose of Frontline since he's so small, came home and cleaned and washed everyone (including myself), let him relax in his bed of sheets and now there are lots of dead ticks on that which fell off, which is very good. So more cleaning and washing and repeat probably for a few days. I try to spend a lot of time with him because he's lonely, but I can't let the other cats near him until I'm sure the ticks are all gone...the last thing I need is ticks on the others.

Edible diatomaceous earth (just a few bucks on Amazon) kills all fleas/ticks on him and your house. ancianita Aug 2016 #65
garden supply stores and many natural foods stores also carry the diatomaceous earth. niyad Aug 2016 #67
Most definitely. ancianita Aug 2016 #68
garlic is also a great flea repellant. cab67 Aug 2016 #75

I'm just noting, as do advertisers, that it's edible and used as such. ancianita Aug 2016 #83
