fleece!##

I have been alergic to cats and their fleec, my husband and in laws are all crazy cat people. I love our cat but the amount of stress and discomfort on me and my toddler is too much already.

Fleece comes and goes, right now me and my 2yr old son has too many red dots all over our body. We live in duplex and my MIl has 4 cats. My hubby grew up with this situation and its normal for him.. me and my son are mesirable. We itch all over and some bleed because of too much scratching. Lastnight i slept at 5:45am and woke up 8am to work 10hrs shift.

My worry is i am 30weeks prego, I am so worried to bring my daughter home with this situation. Why people make pets as priority over their own kid or family? I understand the love for animals but this is not new. It has been like this for years and has been come and go. I am more worried this time because now I have babies...

Help... what should I do.. :( I want to move out

I forgot to mention yes we have treatments we use. There is the shampoo once a week treatment, then twice a month topical we apply on him i forgot the name but recommended by vet.

We also have the brush to remove fleece and we brush and remove his feece once a week.

We just have one cat. I think it stops then back again either from the other side of the house where they refuse or say no fleece over there. I do not believe them because everytime we go visit me and my todder end up with me flee bites all over our body which.is really sick and gross i wish i can post picture. I pray everyday this stops or they get it too so they now how we feel and understand people shoudnt live like this

There are pills called capstar. You can find it on 1800pets.com
give the cat a pill. In 12 hrs all the flees will be dead. Give the cat a bath, Then apply some advantage or liquid flee meds on the cat. Get the one that's good for 30days. Then just give your cat a bath every 2 weeks or once a month and re apply the liquid flee meds.

For the pills that you order, don't give the pills all the time. Just keep them just in case you forget to re apply the advantage or which whichever flee meds you decide to use.

My hubby bomb the house again. Been.fighting it and doing all he can but its never ending story. Unless we live in a no pet house and avoid MIL's house I think that is the only time it will stop.I am sure we are picking up yhe fleece from the other side of the house when we go visit them
