Notice your indoor cat is acting itchy? It might be time to check them with a comb. Catching pests early is important, since fleas and ticks can carry infectious diseases.
If you find fleas or ticks on your cat, stay calm. Talk to your vet for advice and help on removing ticks or treating fleas, so your indoor cat can return to pest-free sunbathing. Depending on your situation, your vet may also recommend starting your cat on regular flea and tick medicines to prevent further issues. Learn more in Cat Health: Your GoodRx Guide.
