Can my indoor cat get fleas? I've never seen any outside.

[]

Answer

Yes, absolutely! Even strictly indoor cats can get fleas. Fleas are incredibly resilient and can hitchhike into your home on other pets, on your clothing, or even on rodents. Once inside, they can quickly establish a population, especially in warmer, humid environments. Regular flea prevention, even for indoor cats, is highly recommended, particularly if you have other pets that go outdoors. Look for small, dark specks ('flea dirt') on their fur or skin. Consult your vet for the best preventative product for your cat. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
