Flea bites are terrible under normal circumstances, and their "death bites" are worse. Some cats and dogs who have several fleas may experience sudden very hard bites in many areas of their bodies, which could account for the jumping around and panting. Unfortunately, when the fleas get the first whiff of gas, they respond by biting REALLY HARD in a reflexive reaction. It comes out as a gas through the pores of the skin, and acts on the fleas like cyanide gas acts on people. My vet explained to me that the chemical in Capstar isn't recognized by the animal's body - it just passes through without being absorbed and broken down. She weighs just 10 pounds, so I give her half a tablet (I cut them apart in a regular pill cutter) and any fleas she's picked up fall off and die. Works well for my cat - Apparently some cats and dogs respond badly to this medication, but it works wonderfully for my cat. Please let me have your babies immediately. Hours later, we were back home in my chemical smelling apartment and I haven't seen a flea since! Capstar, I love you. I gave my cat a bath with some flea shampoo so I could kill all the eggs and larvae. well, it was one of the greatest things I have ever witnessed. I have to admit, my life is very sad, because seeing those fleas die. It was awesome! I laughed maniacally and danced a little. They walked around with their gas induced soon-to-be-death hangovers and then died. They looked a little like when you wake up on your bathroom floor after a night of heavy drinking and the room is spinning and you are convinced that your head is going to explode within a matter of seconds. From reading the reviews, I knew that meant magic was happening! Sure enough, fleas were falling off of her. 30 minutes later, she was scratching herself like crazy. Believe me, I tried nearly everything before resorting to forceful insertion. I gave my cat one pill, and by give, I mean forced it down her throat while she screamed horribly and bit me. I grabbed the cat, the Capstar, and vacated. They did not, so I came on and sure enough, 20 dollars and one day later, Capstar arrived at my front door the very day of my extermination. I read about Capstar in many different "how to get rid of fleas" articles, so I called my vet and asked if they sold the product. (yes, with chemicals, sorry to the green people) I needed something, anything, to kill the fleas on her before bringing her back into my exterminated home. A week later, still finding fleas by the dozen on my poor cat, I had my apartment exterminated. I know I love wasting 80 dollars, I'm sure you do, too. It all started when I spotted a flea on my cat and the next day I was at my vet where they sold me 80 dollars worth of Frontline that appears to be doing absolutely nothing. Anyway, my indoor cat somehow ended up with fleas? Not exactly sure how? The Universe works in mysterious ways. Holy fleas, batman! it works! - I've got fleas.
