Is it wrong to laugh while hosing your cats with flea spray?

I laugh at them before, during and after I spray them with the flea spray.

4. Definitely, with mine it would be.
They do not take kindly to being laughed at, and the three of them would probably get together to plot revenge on me!

10. They hate being laughed at
and they do know they're being laughed at. I had to wash my cat after he got skunked. He looked so tiny and funny with wet fur that my friend and I started laughing. He was made and jumped out of the sink and wouldn't come round us for quite a while. He stunk of skunk so not coming around us was not so bad...

12. Yes they do and they know when we do too
:D
They smell like some sort of powder after I'm finished spraying so it's better if they don't come around either.

13. The most effective anti-flea technique is to DUNK them
After years of flea sprays and treatments, including flea dip, I discovered that fleas instantly drown underwater. The flea shampoo probably doesn't hurt, but it often doesn't kill the fleas.

A five gallon plastic bucket full of lukewarm water, an unsuspecting cat, and speed are all it takes. The cat's head needs to be immersed, too, only briefly, or all the fleas swarm up there.

14. My sister used to bathe her cat with Tegrin
Said the fleas just dropped off like crazy. And yeah, you do have to dunk the head or all the fleas end up there like all those people running up the Titanic.

15. Yes, flea spray can kill them.
It's better to treat the house and yard.

16. No, it's prefectly normal.
I laugh when I spray cats with the garden hose.
