are they an outdoor cat?

i was told indoor ones dont really need flea treatments, maybe a bath once every few months.
or get them a collar.

you would rather use c4 instead of giving them a bath.

interesting.

bath. not collar. collars don't really work and it could irritate her little neck/skin.

a bath is the only option. but they work. my kitty had a lot of fleas when i got her but i gave her a bath and honestly even just submersion in warm water gets the fleas/dander off and drowns them. just get some shampoo (or call vet and ask) about shampoo for kitties. i found some that was safe for kittens. she/he isn't going to like it (probably) but i def had to do a couple of baths for my kitten when i got her. they worked though. and do you know where she got the fleas? you may need to treat the inside of your house as well. flea bombs can work. or you can just vacuum everything really well. there's powder you can sprinkle on the floor/upholstered furniture and then vacuum. also washing all linens etc. putting a flea collar in the vacuum bag is also a good call. that will help make it so she doesn't get the fleas again. also if she's around other cats/kittens make sure they're treated as well!!

He's a garage/inside cat and the old one is an outside/garage cat. So presumably that's where they came from. He tolerates a bath as well as can be expected... he doesn't cry or bite or anything. I've already treated the garage and the area around the house.

yea the outside cat probably gave them to him. plus it is summer so its like flea season

When I brought my 8 week old kitten to the vet because she had fleas and worms, he just put some Advantage on her neck and called it the day. I asked him if that stuff was actually okay for an 8 week old kitten and his response was, "It won't kill her," and he was right so yay I guess?
