 You need to take steps to control flea and tick outbreaks on your cat or kitten, particularly if the cat plays outdoors.

Fleas and ticks can carry dangerous disease and transmit parasites to your cat. When infected, adverse effects can range from itching to some serious infections. Fleas suck on the blood of the animal it leeches on, and a cat can die from much loss of blood if the flea problem isn't treated. It is very important to keep your cat free of fleas and ticks as much as possible. While there are commercially available flea shampoos and flea collars, the more recent innovation has developed more powerful treatments against fleas and ticks.
