i gave the cat a bath with the dawn and it only STUNNED the fleas.... as i was picking them off they started to 'reanimate' and i started to freak out (she was COVERED in fleas so it took a LONG time and there were a lot that came back from the dead)........ i hate fleas they are gross, thank god we have an almost flea free house..... i only vacume a lot and use flea baths (the fleas come home from my moms house after i bring toby over.... so i give him a bath right away..... only a few have escaped but not many)
