Do Indoor Cats Really Need Flea Protection?

Yes — and here's why. A short guide to protecting indoor-only cats from fleas and ticks they can't avoid.

Do Indoor Cats Really Need Flea Protection?

It's a common myth that indoor cats don't need flea or tick protection. The reality is that fleas can hitch a ride on shoes, other pets, or even open windows.

Once fleas are in your home, they're hard to evict. A single flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day, and most of the lifecycle happens off your cat — in carpets, bedding, and furniture.

A lightweight, breakaway collar designed specifically for cats keeps protection on without fuss. Look for one with a safety release so your cat can free themselves if the collar ever catches on something.
