If your cats have fleas then you will need to treat them with a flea medication, like Revolution, Bravecto, Frontline, or Advantage Multi. You will also need to treat the environment. Vacuuming all of your carpets and thoroughly cleaning any hard surfaces will help to get rid of the fleas or flea eggs living in your house. Also, wash all of your linens, as well as pet bedding and toys in hot water. If you are still seeing fleas then you may need to contact and exterminator to help.
