My 4 month cat has fleas infestation. How I treat it? Do you have a flea elimination bath for cats? Pet's info: Cat | Bombay | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 25 days old | 3.8 lbs

Great question! Cats hate baths, so I don't recommend bathing her. I have a flea treatment program that's excellent and should work very well for Mishi. First, I would give her Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes. Then follow up with a spot on treatment, such as Advantage or Revolution. This is a treatment that has to be used once a month. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash her bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home. Best of luck.
