ICKY.

My morning went as follows:
9:15am: Wake up early for a change.
9:18am: Roll over, poke computer. Yes, it's right next to my bed, shut up.
9:19am: Flea jumps onto hand. Squish flea, promptly go check cat.
9:25am: Drive to Petco, obtain things of flea!death.
9:55am: Bathe cat. Learn new meaning of pain. Surprised Vivi so well behaved.
10:20am: Buckle flea collar onto damp cat, go forth to attack the apartment with flea spray.
11:30am: Finish spraying. Wash hands thoroughly.
11:50am: Finally regain some feeling in right index finger, now right wrist and forearm starting to cramp. Enthused--at least the fleas won't fair any better than my poor nerve cells. Also, spray is mad hardcore and also kills cockroaches--good, as our next-door neighbors are not very tidy and so we've had sightings of said brown creepy insects.

Now I just need to figure out how the hell Vivi got fleas in the first place (she's an indoor cat) and we'll be good.

The lady at the pet store said that was a possibility. Vivi also might have picked them up while I was walking her carrier up to the new place or when someone tracked some fleas in while moving things in through the sliding glass door. Whatever it was, we know we caught the infestation a maximum of two weeks after it happened so we're optimistic that we got most of the fleas. ^_^
