Answer from Kate
Hi
Cat flea baths are not a good idea as they dry the skin out and this in itself can cause skin irritation. Also the house needs to be treated too otherwise the cat will just get re infected.

I have had cats for many many years and have used the cat flea spot on treatments and have found them to be excellent at keeping fleas off of the cat. Cat flea collars on the other hand are not so good and I have heard of cats becoming ill through them.

Please see my page about fleas and how to get rid of them from your home and from your cat. there is also a product on sale there from a company called only natural pet care and so you may want to take a look at that.

here is the first page
