Why do cats get fleas?

Fleas grow on cats mainly because there are fleas in the surrounding environment, the cat lives in a dirty environment, or it is infected by other cats with fleas. Therefore, to prevent this situation, owners not only need to provide cats with a comfortable and clean environment but also wash the cat after it comes back from playing outside. The most important thing is to give the cat regular flea control treatments to prevent the breeding of fleas and other parasites inside and outside the cat's body. Additionally, owners should regularly brush the cat's fur and inspect the cat's body surface to see if there are any parasites. If so, timely flea control treatments should be given.

1. Fleas in the surrounding environment

If cats often play in grasslands or forests, they are likely to get fleas.加上 cats have a lot of hair, fleas can breed on their bodies, gradually increasing in number. Therefore, after the cat comes back from playing outside, it is necessary to give it a bath and regularly give it flea control treatments.

1. Living in a dirty environment

If cats live in damp and dirty environments for a long time, these places are prone to breeding fleas and other parasites. Once fleas are present, they will reproduce on the cat's hair, leading to the cat having fleas. Therefore, owners must provide cats with a dry and clean living environment to promote their healthy growth.

1. Being infected by other cats with fleas

Fleas are contagious and have strong reproductive capabilities. If a cat comes into contact with a cat wearing fleas, it is likely to be infected. Especially cat mothers can transmit fleas to their kittens, so fleas can be found on young cats. Therefore, owners should pay attention to whether there are fleas on their cats and remove them in time. Fleas often carry various bacteria and can transmit diseases that can be spread between humans and animals, posing a significant health hazard to both cats and humans.
