Cat fleas are small, flat, and brown, black, or reddish-black. You may spot the fleas themselves or specks, which are flea droppings in your cat’s fur. You should consult a veterinarian if you suspect your pet has fleas.
Ticks are small, round bugs with eight legs and no antennae. They grow larger after feeding, which is a process that can take several days as they attach themselves to animals and suck their blood.
While indoor cats are less likely to catch fleas and ticks, it’s not uncommon. Fleas can come in on other hosts, including humans, visiting pets, or even furniture. They jump from place to place to find a new host. Ticks wait on vegetation and crawl onto passing animals. Owners of indoor cats should still take steps to protect their pets from fleas and ticks.
Meet with your veterinarian to select the right flea and tick prevention option for your cat. There are other methods for lowering the chances of your pet getting fleas, including keeping cats away from strays and bathing and brushing your pet.
Since ticks live outdoors, cats that spend more time inside have less of a chance to pick them up. Schedule regular checkups with a veterinarian, who will be familiar with the signs of flea and tick infestations.
