You have to treat your house for fleas or they'll just keep attacking your cat.

first things I pulled from google with " home remedies for cat fleas for carpets etc "

Just double check what's acceptable ie non-toxic to cats, apparently rosemary is ok

I know that finely ground salt on carpets can kill flea larvae, but obviously you don't want salt on your cats delicate paws or them ingesting it.

You have to keep at it regularly. Doing it only once and hoping it all resolves isn't always how it works. I used Frontline and put it between the cat's shoulder blades where they can't get it and had to do it regularly as recommended.

Also, don't let your cat outside. This will just happen when they're outside. I had a cat that would run outside and every time they got out they'd bring in fleas every time and spread it to the others.

Tell him that he has to start paying you residuals for Chili Peppers songs and he'll move out.

Go to the pet store and get actual Cat Flea, Tick & Worming control tablets or the liquid you put on the back of the neck.

Then wash your cat's bedding and vacuum the area.

I did my things for a weak straight almost with no decrease in population. And they do not go outside they aren’t allowed. I know how they got them from a stray cat from outside that roams around probably hopped onto me and came in the house >:(
No hair no flea no wasting money no problem.
Shave your cat.

Should be available behind the counter of any pet store. Same deal for dogs. Depending on what you get, it should last 1, 3 or 6 months. However, you only really need it during the summer period.

Flea populations will slow down a bit during winter, especially outdoors, but they don't go away completely. So you still need control but not as badly.

Make sure to check the cat's weight to get the correct dosage amount. They will be labelled for certain weight ranges.
