Spring and summer are peak parasite season, and fleas are a common nuisance for cat owners. A cat that scratches constantly may have fleas, mites, allergies, or ringworm — confirm with a Wood's lamp, hair exam, or the classic 'damp tissue test' where flea dirt turns red. These tiny jumpers can produce 250,000 offspring a month, so prevention matters: vacuum cracks and gaps, comb with a flea comb twice weekly, hot-wash bedding, and keep the home dry (fleas like 18–27°C, ~75% humidity). If infected, use monthly topical prevention, treat inflamed skin, and watch for tapeworms passed via fleas.

Cat Vomiting: Causes and How to Tell What’s Wrong
