Cats are recognized as clean animals. They will clean their hair by themselves if they are done. But why do cats who love clean so much have fleas? Many friends are curious about this, so what should I do if a cat has fleas? Let’s take a look at the reasons why cats have fleas.
1. There are fleas in the surrounding environment
If the cat often plays in the grass and woods, the cat will easily have fleas. In addition, the cat has more hair, so fleas will begin to reproduce on the cat, and slowly the cat will have more fleas. Therefore, after the cat comes back from playing, you must bathe the cat in time and regularly deworm the cat.
2. Living in a dirty environment
If a cat lives in a humid and dirty environment for a long time, parasites such as fleas are easily grown in these places. Once there are fleas around, they will breed on the cat's hair, and the cat will also grow fleas. Therefore, the owner must provide the cat with a dry and tidy living environment to facilitate the healthy growth of the cat.
3. Contagious by other cats with fleas is contagious and has a very strong reproductive ability. If the cat comes into contact with a cat with fleas, it is very likely to be contagious. Especially, mother cats will infect fleas on their bodies to kittens, so kittens will have fleas on their bodies since they were young. Therefore, owners should pay attention to whether there are fleas on the cat and promptly remove them, because fleas often carry a variety of bacteria and can infect various zoonotic diseases, which is extremely harmful to cats and people's health.
