Fleas are parasites<\/a><\/strong> that remain on the skin and feed on animal blood. Sadly, they are also capable of transmitting diseases through their bites.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from bacterial infections, flea bites cause serious skin irritation in infected cats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Removing the adult cat fleas by using a cat flea shampoo or flea comb is often not enough since a single female flea lays up to 50 eggs on the cat. These eggs easily fall off the cat\u2019s fur coat and hide among bedding, carpets, furniture, and furnishings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The flea eggs and larvae don\u2019t die easily. The adult fleas can remain in wait for a suitable host (dogs or cats) for up to 50 weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even one flea on your cat can produce up to 2000 eggs in its lifetime and infest your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
