Oddly my pet feline has had the fewest "passengers" for any summer over
the past 4 years. She must be keeping better company.

Our mistress was crawling alive with fleas, lice and worms when she adopted
us as suitable servants. Trip to the vet and a week of grooming with a flea
comb sorted all those problems out. She has (noticeably!) had fleas once
since then, quickly treated with Spot On. Needs regular worming though
presumably picked up from the fresh voles she eats.

I guess we don't suffer fleas as she has little contact with other cats and
it's rather cool up here. There are no ants either.
