Indicators of Fleas and Ticks

Fleas and ticks can cause serious discomfort and health problems for your cat. Recognising the early signs is essential to preventing infestations and keeping your pet healthy. Here are five common indicators that your cat may have fleas or ticks:


  1. Excessive Scratching and Biting: Flea and tick bites cause intense itching, leading to persistent scratching and biting.
  2. Visible Fleas or Flea Dirt: Fleas may be seen in the fur, while flea dirt appears as small black specks that turn red when wet.
  3. Red or Inflamed Skin: Bite reactions can lead to redness, swelling, and irritation, particularly in sensitive areas.
  4. Scabs and Hair Loss: Constant scratching can result in scabs, sores, and bald patches around the body.
  5. Lethargy or Loss of Appetite: Severe infestations can lead to anaemia, causing weakness, fatigue, and reduced appetite.


If you notice these signs, seek flea and tick treatments to keep your cat comfortable and protected.
