Itchy Scratchy

Our poor cat Edward. He has been scratching, scratching, scratching for weeks. All night long scratching that shook the bed and drove us crazy. I thought maybe it was a food allergy because what else could it be? But, surely a cat who NEVER leaves our bedroom ever could not possibly get fleas, so it can't be that. But, oh YES it is! Fleas!!!!! Our inside-only special needs cat somehow got himself a case of fleas. We got him some medicine at the vets and he gave us a look like "sheesh, took you guys long enough to figure it out! Humph!" He feels much better now and we are sleeping again so we are happier too.

Yet another reminder to me (along with the litterbox and the desperate midnight attempts for affection) of why he will be our last pet for a long, long time. Well, except the fish and Jason has to clean up after them so I can handle having them around.
