No that is not necessary and could be very stressful indeed for your cat. I would recommend to apply a good flea treatment product, possibly a monthly spot on one. Revolution, Advantage, Advantage Multi, Bravecto spot on (ticks as well) - for cats, Comfortis, Seresto ( (ticks as well); generally speaking ask your veterinarian about good quality products on prescription available in your country. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
