Even the cleanest cats get fleas . All it takes to turn your flea-less pet into a flea bag is one friendly stray cat or dog that comes along for a visit and leaves his fleas behind. They can also be introduced into your home by people. When a person or cat walks outside, he will pick up the fleas and bring them inside. Even one flea can lay quite a few eggs. When the eggs hatch, you will have a full scale infestation.

Some people don't want to risk having fleas or ticks at all and use a flea and tick preventative before the insects even appear. Two of the most well known flea and tick preventatives for cats are Frontline and Advantix. These products both come as pre-measured liquid treatments. The treatment is applied directly to your cat's skin and works to kill fleas and ticks right away when they hop on your cat.

I have no evidence for this but I feel a bit worried about flea collars and drops. The cat is permanently coated in pesticides, which he distributes when he licks himself. Not only is he getting a dose by mouth but anyone around him is going dosed too. This can’t be healthy, especially for children.

Catch flea problems early by regular grooming. To look for fleas, you should have a flea comb. Carefully comb through your cat's hair, paying close attention to the hair around his head and on his belly. Fleas like to hide around a cat's ears, eyes, and nose. They also tend to hang out in the creases where a cat's legs and body meet.

If you see specks of blackish dirt in the comb's teeth, this is evidence that fleas are hiding somewhere on your cat. To find ticks, run your hands over your cat's body, looking for any raised spots. If you find a raised spot, check it closely to see if it has little legs, if so you have found a tick. If you try to pull a ticks off by yourself you will leave part of it in the cat, so take your cat to the vet for removal.
