My son was at the flea market Friday and someone had a box of kittens. He texted to ask if he could have one and while waiting for a reply he was holding one. The guy with the box walked off leaving my son and someone else with a kitten. Vet says he is 4 weeks old, not even fully weaned.
I was only making a stupid joke because you got him at the flea market, but it's still good to be careful. Our cats had a nasty worm problem for a bit due to fleas.
I missed the joke, but it is something I would have said myself. It is a genuine concern, however, there was a bug on Jethro but my son smashed it and threw it on the floor before I could look and see if it was a flea.
