If you are forbidding something, be consistent. Don t change your mind, and stick to the same command. If you ve caught your cat doing something bad, give it a quick squirt of water from a plant sprayer. This will soon curb the behaviour. Never hurt or shout at your cat, or it will associate you with the unpleasantness. These are the ideal places for fleas to hide including the ears, eyes and the nose. And, they like to burrow in the creases where the cat s legs and body meet. When combing your pet, if you find a flea you know they are throughout his body. But, if you end up with a few black or brown specks, this too is a sign that they are hiding somewhere on the pet s body.
