Hi everyone,
My boyfriend and I just got our cats 3 weeks ago. We were told they were both indoor cats (and we keep them indoors as well). We decided to treat them both with Frontline anyway just in case. We live in a large apartment complex, so I figured that it may be possible for fleas to travel through the building from other cats. Anyway, I was combing one of the cats today, and low and behold, a live flea ended up in the comb!!! They were treated 3 weeks ago, so isn't it supposed to still be effective? Also, does anyone know if it IS possible for fleas to travel from apartment to apartment?
Also, I've read that cats can get lice. How would I be able to tell the difference between lice and fleas? I know that I had to squish whatever this little bug was about 10 times before it died. Thanks everyone!!!
