My cats have never had an issue with fleas... until recently.
My boys are both inside babies, and recently they've got fleas. I noticed them scratching and biting a lot more than normal cats do and at first we didn't see any fleas.
I went up and got them some Frontline [it was almost time anyway], and did it to both of them, and it's been a little over a week and they are still scratching and biting, and we finally started to see the fleas. We thought that maybe it was just them like getting rid of them but no they're still just as bad as before. Amos had some scabs from scratching himself so bad so we really had to watch him to make sure he wouldn't keep doing it.
I got a new cat shampoo from Hartz and bathed them and it didn't seem to have any sort of effect. A while later we tried a flea and tick spray as well, and it didn't seem to help either and we keep finding more fleas now.
What do we need to do to completely get rid of these pests? And what about our house [floor, bedding, chairs etc]?
