Cat Fleas
Cats are a common target for fleas, which love to feed on the blood of mammals. Flea bites can cause serious pain for your pet, and serious infestations can cause exhaustion and dehydration in your cat. Some cats are allergic to flea bites and this can cause a severe reaction known as flea allergy dermatitis. Fleas can also spread tapeworms, which can also be dangerous to your pet’s health.
Fleas thrive in humid climates; at least 50 percent humidity is required for the larvae eggs to hatch. This means that Southern states experience substantially more flea problems than the rest of the country. The best flea prevention methods involve keeping your pet clean. There are special medications that you can give your cat to prevent fleas from attacking them or the rest of your family.
