The answer to this is a resounding “yes,” and I recently learned this form personal experience. I have a dog and an inside Birman cat, Leanne, and because Leanne does not go outside, I made the mistake of thinking she would not be susceptible to fleas—I was wrong. The good thing is, I always try to admit to mistakes, figure out where I went wrong, and make immediate corrections. So, as soon as I noticed a couple of horrid black fleas on her while combing her, I ran to my computer and looked up two things:

• Can you use Frontline for dogs on cats?
• How to use a flea comb?

The charming Chihuahua has gained a great deal of favor among Hollywood stars, such as: Paris Hilton, Madonna, Paula Abdul, Hillary Duff, and many others. Chihuahuas have become fashion accessories to many who seek to emulate the rich and famous icons seen toting them in high-end doggie purses wearing pricey outfits and expensive dog collars.

This Christmas, I decided to give my Birman cat, Leanne, a functional gift—The Ultimate Scratching Post by SmartCat. Like me, you may have seen this scratching post advertised on numerous sites, from Drs. Foster and Smith to Amazon, and thought it looks like a sturdy scratch post for cats. I’m a big believer in having a few places in my home for my cat to scratch to keep her from using my sofa or other home furnishings to sharpen her nails.
