Fleas are tiny, fast-moving parasites that feed on your cat’s blood, often going unnoticed until your cat starts showing symptoms. If left untreated, flea infestations can cause serious discomfort and lead to skin infections or even anemia. Here's how to recognize the signs early and keep your cat flea-free and healthy.
🔍 Signs Your Cat Might Have Fleas
1. Excessive Scratching or Grooming
If your cat is scratching more than usual, especially around the neck, back, or base of the tail, fleas could be the cause. Cats may also bite or lick their skin in an attempt to relieve the itch.
2. Visible Flea Dirt
Flea dirt looks like tiny black pepper flakes on your cat’s fur. You can detect it by using a fine-toothed comb and placing any debris on a damp paper towel — flea dirt turns red when wet due to digested blood.
3. Bald Spots or Skin Irritation
Fleas can cause your cat to overgroom, which often results in hair loss or red, irritated patches of skin.
4. Small Red Bumps or Scabs
Flea bites may appear as small, red, raised bumps. These often turn into scabs from excessive licking or scratching.
5. Restlessness or Behavioral Changes
Cats with fleas often become agitated or restless. You may notice them darting around or acting uncomfortable.

🛑 Don’t Wait for the Infestation to Grow
Fleas multiply quickly. A single flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day, making early detection crucial. Even indoor cats are at risk — fleas can enter your home via other pets, humans, or even through open windows.
If you notice any signs, treat your cat promptly and clean your home thoroughly to prevent reinfestation.
