Fleas are common parasites on cats, also called cat fleas. Cat fleas will suck the blood of many animals, carry a lot of bacteria, and can also be transmitted to humans. They are very harmful to humans. What about kittens? What should you do if you have fleas on your body? Let’s follow the editor of Mengpet.com to find out. ​​​​​​

The adult fleas that parasitize cats only account for about 5% of the total number of fleas, while the remaining 95% are larvae and pupae hidden in the carpet. Flea eggs are so small that we humans cannot see them clearly. Their adhesion is extremely poor. Even if they are laid in cat fur, the flea eggs will immediately fall to the floor when the cat moves its body. After the eggs dropped on the floor hatch, they will turn into caterpillar-like larvae. They will quietly hide in the carpet or in the darkness of the floor and grow until they develop into pupae. When people or cats get close to them, the shell of the pupa will crack due to the vibration of our walking steps, and the fleas will pop out. So I would like to remind everyone that if you want to completely eliminate fleas, you should not only deal with fleas on cats, but also keep the floors and carpets clean, as well as the fabric sofas, quilts, etc. in your home.

To kill adult fleas, you can use insecticides, medical drops, etc., but if you want to use a collar or apply medicine, you must consult a professional doctor. The collar contains pesticides and is available in animal hospitals and general places that sell pet medicine, health care products, etc. I would like to remind everyone that you must be particularly careful when using highly toxic drugs used in animal hospitals to prevent harm to humans and cats.

Squeezing fleas with hands is usually the most common way we deal with fleas. However, when squeezing, the flea eggs will be squeezed everywhere along with the internal organs, passing fleas and worms to cats and us humans. Therefore, we must absolutely prohibit the use of this method! The best way is to use medicine to kill the fleas on their own, and then use medicinal or disinfectant shampoo to bathe the cat. This can remove the dead fleas, and it can also be done Effective in preventing the resurgence of fleas!!

In addition to cleaning the home and the cat itself, the cat’s food bowl and eating utensils should also be disinfected frequently. It is better if the cat is fed cat food regularly. If the cat is homemade or fed with food at home, it is better. Eating utensils are easy to breed bacteria, especially in hot summer, so you must disinfect them frequently and bathe your cats frequently. This will ensure the health of you and your family.
