<p>For some cats, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/fleas/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">fleas</a> are a minor inconvenience, but for cats that are allergic to flea saliva, a flea bite can cause severe itching, irritation, and hair loss. And for pet parents, fleas can be more than a nuisance, especially if there are other pets in the home. The importance of year-round flea control with Cheristin for cats cannot be overstated.</p>
<p>Effects of fleas on cats include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Itch</strong><span> – the most obvious and common effect of fleas is itchiness. This is often the first sign that an infestation is brewing. You may see your cat licking, scratching, and even nibbling at their fur to try to ease the irritation.</span></li>
<li><strong>Skin and coat issues</strong> – the itching caused by flea bites can lead to further problems such as irritated skin and hair loss. If your cat grooms themselves so much that they cut or irritate the skin, it can lead to an infection. Cats may also pull out clumps of hair, leaving bald patches.</li>
<li><strong>Flea allergies </strong>– flea allergic dermatitis, or flea allergies,<strong><span> </span></strong>are caused by flea saliva. Most cats develop this allergy by the time they are five years old, but they can develop it at any age. The itching caused by flea allergies is much more severe and often leads to skin rashes, excessive hair loss, and skin infections.</li>
<li><strong>Kittens and fleas </strong>–<strong><span> </span></strong>because kittens are so tiny, a blood loss caused by flea bites can leave them anemic and weak, and if not treated, lead to death. Fleas on kittens should not be ignored, but it is essential to consult your veterinarian before giving your kitten a flea treatment since most are not appropriate for kittens less than eight weeks old.</li>
<li><strong>Tapeworm </strong>– <a href="https://www.petmd.com/cat/conditions/infectious-parasitic/c_ct_cestodiasis" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span>tapeworms</span></a> are an intestinal parasite transmitted to cats by fleas that have eaten the eggs of tapeworms. Cats are efficient groomers, and if your cat swallows a flea infected with tapeworm, the eggs will hatch, quickly multiply, and lay eggs in your cat's intestines. This can cause diarrhea and weight loss and rob them of nutrients.</li>

<h2>How Does Cheristin for Cats Work?</h2>
<p>Spinetoram is one of the newest spinosyn-class natural products used for flea control. The <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/ja20105" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">spinosyns</a> are an unusual family of fermentation-derived insecticides that work effectively with lower environmental effects.

<p>Thoroughly vacuum the carpets and throw the vacuum cleaner bags away – outside – as they may contain flea eggs that could hatch and remain in your home. Pay close attention to the areas where your cat sleeps. If the infestation is severe, consider steam-cleaning the carpets.</p>
<p>If your cat goes outside, or you have other pets that go in and out, make sure your lawn is well maintained. Try to keep your pets away from overgrown bushes or shrubs. Consider keeping your cats inside as much as possible to avoid them being exposed to fleas.</p>
