Fleas On Our Cat

Revolution. Easy drops that go between the cat's shoulder blades.

Also note: DO NOT USE PRODUCTS DESIGNED FOR DOGS!!

Many formulations for dogs can QUICKLY become LETHAL to cats.

You may want to consider keeping him as an indoor-only cat for a couple of months until you are sure he and your house are free of fleas. He may not be getting fleas from repeated trips outdoors; as other posters have eluded, they could be throughout your house, and if he sleeps in the same 5 or 6 spots (chairs, blankets, etc), he could be re-infesting himself from those sleeping spots.

You also need to treat inside as eggs will be shed in the carpet and then hatch onto the cat. We used a GREAT product that we got from the vet for our dog and I would think they may have a cat product too. You can now buy online. It is made by Virbac and is/was called Knockout. It keeps the fleas from maturing and laying eggs, so stops the cycle. You spray on interior furniture, floors, drapes etc and after dry (about 1 hr) is safe for your pets. Lasts 5 months.

Advantage Multi, available at your vet office. It not only kills fleas and ticks, but also protects the cat against heartworms.

Capstar

Also need to have inside of house treated.
If that stray outside cat has fleas and comes inside them YOU have fleas


DIY Ideas

Or hire Orkin, Terminix etc

Capstar is the best we have found. Good luck! Mitch

Flea bath at the Vet's. Then, get Vet's opinion on follow-up protection.

Comfortis or Capstar start killing fleas in 30 minutes.

I would be hesitant to put a collar on an outside cat unless it's a breakaway collar.

Sensaeo flea and tick collars. 7 months of protection for around 35 bucks at 1800petmeds
