Hi everyone, I have an outdoor cat (she comes in the house occasionally) and is about to have kittens. I have to try and keep her in the house to have her kittens because the other cats, especially the wild one will eat her kittens. She has fleas, so I am wondering if anyone has had success with safely getting rid of fleas. I've thought of vinegar/water....or garlic/water sprays.

NO PROBLEMS.....Tips from Dr Paul ( The Witch doctor )
Just be gentle with your cat ...LOL
1--3 to 5 drops of cedar oil or lavender oil
- 1-3 tablespoons of water..
Dilute 2-3 drops of your chosen oil in 1-3 tablespoons of water. Some people use the oil undiluted, but I personally feel it should always be diluted, even if it’s only by a little.
**************************
2---1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar or apple cider vinegar
Add 1 teaspoon of white distilled vinegar or apple cider vinegar to 1 quart of their drinking water
Personally, I think the cat won't drink it, but you can try.

3---1 freshly sliced up lemon, 1 pot of fresh water
and a comb, sponge, or brush.
Boil a pot of water and add the slices of a freshly cut lemon to it. Turn off the heat after the lemons has been added and cover the pot, letting the mixture steep overnight. The next day dip a comb or your pets brush in the liquid (make sure it’s sufficiently cool) and run it through their hair. A sponge works as well, especially if you have a very short haired breed. A quick version is to bring water to a vigorous boil and then pour over a freshly sliced lemon. Then just dip the comb, let it cool, and use as above.
*********************************
4---1 cup white distilled vinegar or 1 cup apple cider vinegar OR a 50/50 blend of both
-1 quart fresh water
-2-3 drops of lavender or cedar oil
-a decent sized spray bottle
The essential oil isn’t vital, but it certainly gives the spray an extra edge (and a nice smell.) If you’re using it, add 2-3 drops as you add 1 cup of white distilled vinegar/apple cider vinegar/both to 1 quart of fresh water. Fill your spray bottle, and mist your cat, being careful not to get it in their eyes, nose, or ears-aka avoid spraying near the face. To get up around the neck and behind the ears/their chin area, dampen a soft cloth with the mixture and wipe it on. Spray your cat's bedding and around it with this mixture lightly as well.

Have fun
Ps:..Let me know how many scratches your get
