Y'all, Please Do Not Do This To Your Cats Because Of Tik Tok Advice.
Don't Do This Period.
Turmeric powder isn't healthy for cats. When dosed incorrectly it can cause clotting dysfunction, especially in cats.
They will lick it off their fur and ingest it.
Please don't do shit to your animals because you think it'd be aesthetically cool. They're animals, they're not dolls, they're not your accessories. They're living beings and you're supposed to be taking care of them.
This post on Twitter got over 121k likes and only a fraction of people are bothering to mention the safety and health of the animal. It's not funny, it's not a "bumblebee". It's cruel and it's giving out false, harmful information.
If you can't afford treatment for fleas and are looking for a cheaper option, get a flea comb.
Put your animal on a counter near the sink, or on a container next to it. Fill up your sink, slowly, you can add a bit of soap, and brush the fleas out and flick them off into the water to drown.
Watch out for em trying to get up the sides, but you can use the water that's still flowing to knock them back down and drown them. The soap makes it harder for them to get into the water itself and get near the edge of the sink.
It's time consuming and you've gotten do it multiple times every couple of days, but it's worth it.
My kitty, Tuffy, is allergic to flea spit and I use a comb on him a lot when we're broke and unable to afford the treatment at that time. That's the process I use.
And if your cat likes being brushed, they'll likely enjoy it and realize it's a reoccurring thing you're doing after a while and it'll be a bonding experience for y'all.
Just please, do research and don't just do random home remedies that you get recommended on Tik Tok. There's a lot of false information out there and it'll hurt your babies. And if you're really unsure about the safety of something, please call the vet and get the opinions of the license professionals who know more about this. ❤️
