How does that happen? The housing Mangment here doesn't allow pets
outside unless on leash, I never bothered doing that. I don't eve aloow
Moe & Rudy out on my balconey, I know they'd jump off (I'm on the 2nd
floor). They about a year & half old, neutered.

There is big flea problem in my area, anybody I know that has outdoor
pets are having major problems with flea's, you can see them jumping
around! Not that bad here, I did get get them both flea collor's,
brand name one's, try to get a head start before they get to the vet.
They are both long hair cats, too.

So how the heck do indoor cats get flea's?

On people's clothes/shoes.

Or from critters that cats tend to track and play with.

And our flea collars enough?

Nope you need to treat with proper flea treatment from your vet.

I have two cats, both of whom are mousers. Emily was pulling out patches
of her fur so the vet thought it might be fleas until I mentioned that
Randy didn't have em'.

It turns out that Frontline Advantage is also useful for cats that pull
fur because of allergies, which my little Emily has. They're just
dreadfully expensive.
