Cats do need some time outdoors so they can enjoy, have fun, play, and spend time with other pets in the neighborhood. However, because you love your cat so much, you are worried that she may get exposed to animals that are infected with fleas. You may also be thinking that fleas and ticks could fly, and may transfer to your cat instead.
You must have heard from other pet owners how fleas could fly and move from one host to another. However, in reality, fleas do not fly, but they jump. They can move from one animal to another by jumping and not flying.
Fleas are very good at jumping, and they can jump as far as 15 centimeters. They do it quickly too, so you could not see it with your naked eye. For this reason, it is important to prevent your cat from spending time outdoors especially if there are stray animals around as these animals are normally infested with fleas.
Consult your veterinarian San Antonio, TX about the best way to eliminate fleas from your pet and for protection from future infestations.
