Flea control is probably one of the most important things people need as cat owners, whether they have indoor or outdoor cats. Think: what would happen if people never did gave their cats' flea prevention medications? Having to pick fleas off a pet is not the best occupation around.
So, unless cat owners want to have to pick creepy, bloodsucking bugs off their cats all the time, it is best for them to invest in some sort of flea control, whether it is a collar, drops, a bath, or a natural repellant.

Frontline Top Spot and Advantage are two of the best products. All products have pros and cons, so...
Advantage kills fleas, and works for 30 days, while if they have a problem with ticks, the preferred product is Frontline Top Spot, which is deadly to both fleas and ticks, and also stays for 30 days.
Frontline Top Spot does kill both fleas and ticks, has hardly any smell, and the cat owner only has to apply a small amount, but it leaves an oily residue on the back of the cat's neck.

As for all those flea collars, I have found that the Hartz 2 in 1 Cat Flea & Tick Collar works the best. It is inexpensive, and is supposed to last up to five months. It also comes in many colors, so you can have a kewl kitty! It may cause health problems for the pet, and needs to be kept away from children.

If the cat owner is an all-natural person, there is an all-natural remedy they can try: Vacuum and sprinkle dried pennyroyal under throw rugs, into the carpet, and into the cat's favorite spots. Three to four days later vacuum again and reapply pennyroyal. After each vacuuming they need to either burn the bag or tie it up in a plastic bag and throw it away. Afterwards, they should give their
