Some books will recommend a collar made of it, or sprinkling it on carpets, but I have heard of cats being poisoned this way -- but it sure worked to have it growing on the deck or in the side garden. You may have to use a bath or something to rid them of the fleas that have already taken up residence.<br /><br />We almost lost one of our three cats last week -- she ate leaves from a lily someone had brought as a "hostess gift". Acute renal failure ensued within 48 hours. After three nights in the kitty ICU at Berkshire Vet. she surprised us all by pulling through. Who knew?Ann Phippsnoreply@blogger.com
