Brought home two lovely rescue cats yesterday. Lady said they'd been treated for flees and worms. Found a couple of black specks yesterday but thought it was dust/dried crumbled up mud 
but stroked one of them this morning and there was more. Realised it probably wasn't mud as I'd hoovered yesterday. Looked closer. Found lots of black specks. Googled. Nearly cried. It's fleas, although I haven't seen a live one.
I'm so upset. I feel dirty. And itchy. And how could they have been treated if this has happened? The lady said she used Advantage ten days ago, but she couldn't have done, could she?
We covered the sofas in blankets to avoid clawing until a scratch post is delivered. So in addition to the normal washing, we're going to have to do all that and everything else too.
DH is going to call the vet while I'm at work about treating them, as we want to use the strongest stuff but obviously a bit worried about doing that so soon after their so-called last treatment. We've got Indorex from our previous cat, after he went missing for a week we treated the house as a precaution and kept some Indorex as a precaution.
On top of all this, I was finding it hard to accept the cats. I really wanted them, but they're just not the same as my lovely old cats. I'm sure that in time I'll come to love them unconditionally, but at this very moment I feel like talking then and their unwelcome parasites back to the rescue please don't flame me for saying that
