Here are some safer and more effective flea treatments for cats:
* Prescription flea and tick medication: These are typically administered monthly and are effective at killing fleas and preventing new infestations.
* Over-the-counter flea and tick shampoos and sprays: These can be effective at killing fleas on your cat, but they are not as long-lasting as prescription medications.
* Flea combs: These can be used to remove fleas from your cat's fur, but they are not as effective as other methods of flea control.
If your cat has a severe flea infestation, it may be necessary to consult with a veterinarian to develop a treatment plan.
In addition to treating your cat for fleas, it is also important to clean your home environment to remove any potential sources of infestation. This includes:
* Vacuuming your floors and furniture regularly
* Washing your cat's bedding and toys in hot water
* Treating your yard with a flea and tick insecticide
By following these steps, you can help keep your cat flea-free and safe from the associated health risks.
