vampires.

i was so frustrated this evening. let me rewind... i took the kitten to the spca and they checked him out... four weeks old and a boy (she thinks, she wasn't 100% sure..what?!), no fever, but he has FLEAS, also known as little jerk vampires. her specific instructions were to wash the baby with dawn dish washer soap, and to not use flea shampoo but use a flea comb. here's the thing: flea combs suck. i tried it and almost cried because i kept getting him wet and washing him and then would discover tons more little jerks behind his ears. so i did exactly what the aide said not to do: washed him with flea shampoo. the bottle even says: "not for use on animals under twelve weeks." wooops. i was too frustrated. he seems fine and the vampires are gone for the most part. yikes. if i kill this kitty, i can never trust myself to have children.
