I expect that you believe that you're doing the best you can for your pet by buying a cat flea collar for her? I certainly do but have you noticed how long they seem to work for? They don’t seem to last for a day let alone the three or four months that they're supposed to. I’ve no idea why this is the case but I can suggest some different ways of dealing with the problem.

Something else that I don’t like about cat flea collars, or dog flea collars is that they contain poison to kill the fleas. This poison can affect humans by causing irritation or soreness. If these cat collars can do this to humans then what are they doing to your beloved pet?

What else can you do about the fleas? There are shampoos that are designed to kill fleas. Try them out, if your cat will let you that is. Personally I’ve never met a cat that likes getting wet, they turn into alien teeth and claw monsters, so attempting to give her a shampoo is out of the question. Oh and if you do have a go at this, don’t expect your cat to talk to you again for the next few days.

My vet recommends treating cats with a product that stops the fleas reproducing. You have to apply this substance to the back of your cat’s neck every three months for it to be effective. you've to keep in mind that this doesn't kill the fleas but it does stop them multiplying so you should see a reduction in fleas after a few months. You can make this happen a lot quicker if you remove the fleas by combing them out.

If you love your cat as much as I love mine then you'll find that there is nothing better than a daily use of the flea comb. I find it soothing and a great stress reliever. I think that my cat likes it too even though she'll tell me off if I do it for too long. If your cat has a flea problem then you'll see them on the comb. The hard part is catching and wiping out them before they vanish by jumping away. When you catch them you must crush them in between two hard surfaces.

Don’t forget to treat your carpets and furniture. Fleas will jump off your cat and live in your carpets and furniture until another animal comes along. It’s very important that you spray everything with a suitable anti-flea spray. make absolutely sure that you follow the instructions on the label before you use it.

So if your pet has fleas then consider using some of the remedies that I’ve mentioned above before you go out and buy a cat flea collar.
