How to get rid?
Horror Cat is a total bugger. He's only about 18 months, but has fully come into his powers, despite being a sweet-LOOKING little tabby with pitiful eyes and pretty stripes. We want our cats to live their full lives outdoors as well as inside (I don't really want a debate about that - we live somewhere at the edge of a village, evidently VERY well stocked with voles) so we accept a bit of carnage when they're young. But Horror Cat has started on small rabbits ...
We had an older cat who did once bring back a rabbit, and was shortly thereafter found to be covered in rabbit fleas. So I knew this could happen, and yesterday when Horror Cat brought a baby rabbit back to the garden and I saw it was already dead, I could SEE the fecking fleas leaving its body, and pinned the cat down to check his ears. (Rabbit fleas like hanging off the edges of cats' ears for some reason.) He already had shedloads 
and I removed about 6. He was about 5 days short of his monthly flea treatment so we just decided to do him and his dim brother early. Turns out the can of Indorex household flea spray I had was almost finished and I can't get any sooner than Tuesday.
That was 24 hours ago. He still has the little feckers on him and DS has found two of them crawling on him after Horror Cat had a kip on his lap.
Are rabbit fleas just not susceptible to cat flea treatments? The one we use, from the vet, treats cat fleas and all the worms they could get, ticks, ear mites etc. Might it just take a while?
