Yes, if the there are no flea bites, then flea allergies should go away. However, some cats (and dogs) with flea allergies will also have other types of flea allergies that can flare up. If you are able to completely eliminate the fleas (which may take 3 or more months) and Remi is still itching, you may want to talk to your vet about treatment for other types of allergies.
