Are those coffee grounds in my young cat’s fur?

Your kitten may like to hang around you (dare we say…on the counter?) while you’re making your morning cup of coffee. But they’re hoping for your attention or a tasty treat, not a caffeine boost! If you’re noticing brown specks that resemble coffee grounds in your cat’s fur, it’s time to search for the most likely culprit—fleas (Ctenocephalides felis).
