R.I.P. -- my cat

The borax will work, though you might need to use it a couple of times. Put some socks and slippers on and let it hang out in the carpet, use a brush or a broom to get it in deep in the carpet. if you're still having problems after that, flea bombs should kill what's left.

How long do you think I should leave it 'soaking' in the carpet, as it were? Are we talking a half-hour, or longer?
 
Sorry to hear this happened to you Paul, I'm sure your cat knew that he was loved and cared for. Cats are amazing creatures!
 
I don't care what anybody says, losing a pet is just like losing a member of your human family. :(

DEFINITELY. I'm so sorry for your loss. :cry:

I still get sad occasionally over the family dog that we had to put down when I was 13. And I'm 40 now!

I hope that you do get some answers, and that it helps with the healing process.
