I don't know of any and don't see how it could be possible to spray a chemical that could kill fleas, yet still be cat safe. I'd spot treat your cat, wash & steam everything, & thoroughly vacuum. Diatomaceous earth sprinkled between sheet & mattress, baseboard cracks, windows, etc., may help...

I tried using it but was having difficulty getting all waste out and the smell became obnoxious. My local feed store was charging .49/lb. Hadn't heard of any health risks associated with it unless you used the medicated version. I would check the source of such info as there are "trolls" out...
