My cat has found a natural way to remove fleas that's an improvement on the dust bath.

She rubs against a sticky plant we have in the garden, getting sap and little flowers all over herself, and then she rolls in the sand. It all ends up in little sticky balls on the ground and then she cleans herself as usual... Brilliant!! And entertaining to watch.😽😂

What is that sticky plant called?

@cherokeepatti I have no idea, it was here before me. I was concerned for a second when I realized what she was doing, but I think she has practiced this for a while and doesn't seem to get sick from it.🤷‍♂️

I don't have a camera. It has long slender branches that go EVERYWHERE, very bushy, with small, oval shaped leaves, and small purple flowers. Very sticky, but it doesn't really look like it would be.

@UnderLockDown does it look one thing like this?

@cherokeepatti If you placed a link, it didn't make it.

@cherokeepatti Not goosegrass, it's closer to a small tree or bush.
