Poor Spooky! A flea bath shampoo will kill the fleas on her, but it does not provide lasting protection. In addition, fleas live in the environment, they just on the cat to feed and then jump. Other causes of itching include allergies, mites, and ringworm. Have her seen by a vet today to get the definitive cause of her itching, and the vet can also give flea medications as needed. Best of luck.
