7 STEPS to Get Rid of Fleas on Cats
5
1. Check
  • Check the animal thoroughly. Pay special
    attention to its behavior. If your pet twitches
    occasionally or licks certain body parts, there
    must be only few fleas so far. On the other hand,
    if it scratches convulsively and bites itself,
    looks irritated and doesnt sleep much, there
    must be an entire colony of fleas breeding in its
    fur. These parasites cause great pain, especially
    to kittens, so dont neglect the issue!

2. Examine all animals
  • Examine all animals living at your house. If they
    hang out together, they must all be infested as
    these parasites are very good at jumping. Their
    jump length can reach 13 inches exceeding its
    body size 200 times!

3. Begin combing straight away
  • Begin combing straight away even if you dont
    have any medicine in the immediate proximity.
    Youd better carry out the procedure in a
    well-lit bathroom. Dip the comb in soap water or
    alcohol solution. Remember that combing will
    eliminate only 10-60 of the insects and will
    reduce their breeding but wont be able to rid
    you fully of the infestation.

4. Control Products
  • Use one of the flea control products described
    below drops, shampoos, sprays or pills.

5. Vacuum clean
  • Vacuum clean the entire house thoroughly and pay
    special attention to the hall and rugs at the
    entrance. Clean your shoes as often the fleas are
    brought home from the outside on shoes.

6. Treat
  • Treat your cats bedding and furniture with
    special anti-flea sprays.

11
7. Dont Relax
  • Dont relax. The fleas activity peaks from
    spring to late fall. If your cat is allowed
    outside, use prevention methods. Put an anti-flea
    collar on every time your cat leaves the house or
    leave it on constantly for no longer than six
    days. Find more details about prevention below.

At the End
  • Permethrin is unsuitable for treating cats as it
    is too toxic for them! Read any insecticide
    manual thoroughly before use!
