Hello. Fleas are insects so the drugs used to kill the fleas are of a different type than any 'natural toxins' that could be involved with an older cat (such as kidney/liver disease producing toxins in the body). Also, older cats can safely receive drugs to kill fleas, but it is important to check with your vet that you are getting a safe product. Call your local clinic and ask what product they recommend. If that doesn't answer your question please ask in a different way. Thank you and good luck with Louie.
