Our cat Athena is a fluffy girl and we just found a flea on her, we removed it and crushed it but now my girlfriend is freaking out and her skin is squirming thinking the whole house could be infested. I’m of the opinion that we’ve caught it early and we should just check her usual sleeping spots as well as get a flea comb but my girl is damn near ready to buy a steam cleaner for the rug.

Idk, what do you guys think? How should we handle this?

    Fleas are annoying. When my cats got them bad or was weeks of cleaning all the “soft fabricy things”, vacuuming, and flea baths.

    Now is down to just a dose of advantage flea medicine on the back of her neck once a month (and still washing a lot, but she’s much better now)

    I can only recommend advantage for the flea medicine in the back of neck. We tried a cheaper off brand and she was like…got very sick. Vet said it can happen, so I went back to the only one that she tolerates well.
