Those who think that the presence of fleas in a cat is indicated by continuous itching are mistaken.
Animals that are let out for a walk on the street or when in contact with other animals can pick up parasites. Of course, if a cat has fleas, you can expect nothing but trouble.
Experts have revealed that it is not only continuous itching that indicates parasites in a cat.
First, the pet becomes restless.
The cat may become more "twitchy", as people say. A previously calm pet may make sudden jumps and twitch its limbs.
All this indicates the presence of fleas, as well as scratching on the neck and sides.
Secondly, the condition of the coat may worsen.
Due to the fact that the pet will scratch itself frequently, scratches, bald spots or patches will appear on the cat's body.
Thirdly, allergies cannot be ruled out.
And such a reaction is possible after the appearance of fleas. Dandruff, skin rashes, unpleasant odor and watery eyes may appear.
In each of these cases, it is best to contact a veterinarian to combat parasites.
It is also important to treat the furniture and carpets in the house, and not just wash the cat.
