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?
Get pest control there now. Give your cat a flea bath. Clean everything very well. I had to deal with this once and it was a months long ordeal. If you catch it fast, you might avoid this.
Thankfully we have very little fabric in our tiny apartment, I would imagine our vinyl floors are not fleas favorite places. Were in the middle of some monumental purchases rn so I’m not sure we can afford pest control, but what we can do is hit every spot of textiles in our house, might just go for the steam cleaner after all
We should be going full nuclear regardless in order to mitigate climate change.
If you’ve checked the cat’s fur thoroughly and found no other fleas, it’s not a big deal. Check sleeping spots for eggs and use preventative treatments regularly and you should be fine.
Get some Revolution Pro or Advantage, follow the directions on the box. They are very effective unless you have a serious infestation, which it sounds like you don’t. Just make sure it’s the cat version and for the correct weight range of your cats.
