Our cat Athena is a fluffy girl and we just found a flea on her, we removed it and crushed it but now my girlfriend is freaking out and her skin is squirming thinking the whole house could be infested. I’m of the opinion that we’ve caught it early and we should just check her usual sleeping spots as well as get a flea comb but my girl is damn near ready to buy a steam cleaner for the rug.

Idk, what do you guys think? How should we handle this?

    I would be regular vacuuming floors and furniture every day, laundering anything that I can, and putting things in the freezer that I can’t launder. Plus making sure pets flea treatments are up to date. Cat bed gets deep cleaned.

    Flea #2 sighted and I’m hunting for steam cleaner deals with your gf.

      Hmm yeah, I’m not familiar with flea treatments but it wouldn’t hurt to give our vet a call
