While most common house flies caught by indoor cats are unlikely to cause serious harm, there's a small risk associated with ingesting insects. Some flies might carry bacteria or parasites, and ingesting bugs treated with insecticides could be dangerous. Generally, the occasional fly isn't a major concern, but if your cat is frequently hunting and eating many insects, it might be worth considering. Ensure your home is as free from pests as possible, and if you use pest control, ensure it's pet-safe.
