fleas it's like your problem, just multiplied a hundred times.

and cause a full scale attack on your pet.
To stop them before they start, you can use a product such as
Frontline or Advantix. These are pre measured liquid treatments
that are applied directly to the cat's skin and coat. When fleas
get onto the pet, these products kill them before they can lay
eggs. Those who want preventative measures for keeping the cat
safe should use these.

that your cat is flea infested. If
you do see them, realize that the problem is already a big
problem.
What you need to do is make sure to check your pet for fleas all
the time. You can do this with a flea comb. Carefully comb
through the cat's hair and pay attention to the hair around the
cat's head and his belly. These are the ideal places for fleas
to hide including the ears, eyes and the nose. And, they like to
burrow in the creases where the cat's legs and body meet.
When combing your pet, if you find a flea you know they are
throughout his body. But, if

need to ask your vet about having the tick removed as you can
not do this yourself without risking the tick's head staying
behind in your pet's skin.
In order to get them under control, you'll need to use one of
