Have you noticed that most cat flea collars do not appear to work or at least not for nearly as long as advertised? Worse yet, your cat is wearing something containing chemicals that are supposed to be toxic for fleas and might not be so good for felines, either. What are some alternatives to the flea collar?
Shampooing is one option, although most cats absolutely hate this. In fact, you will probably need two people to accomplish this, one to hold the animal and one to do shampoo the cat.
Yet another possibility are products that only stop fleas from reproducing instead of killing them outright. This needs to be applied to the cat’s neck area for several months before it is entirely effective. Even then, you may see a few fleas; they just won’t be able to have flea babies.
A daily combing with a flea comb is another alternative. Many cats enjoy being groomed, and you may find that you also enjoy this daily ritual. You will need to immediately kill any live fleas that end up in the comb, or they will jump away to infest your cat another day.
Your carpets and furniture will need to be treated, too. Fleas can jump off your cat and then live in your carpets and furniture until another animal or even you comes along.
Try the remedies discussed above to see if they work better for you and your feline before investing in yet another cat flea collar.
