I've got Beauty some flea shampoo for when she needs it.

Is it OK to use it on her (it's for cats and kittens over 6 months), but I'm not sure if she'd be OK with it? or should I change her flea treatment to something else and only use the flea shampoo in emergencies?

Advice please?

I would call the vet ... but IMHO I would avoid flea shampoo that didnt come from the vet ..

Because I am not into bathing cats, I am curious why would Beauty need it?

I use Advantage flea treatment. I would think a flea bath would be a hard thing to do with a cat.

I'd use Frontline or Advantage if you have a flea problem. The flea shampoo is medicated and shouldn't be used often. If you use another flea preventative, you should NOT use the shampoo.

Wash the cat in normal cat pet shampoo (not dog).
