I adopted an adult cat. My brother has two cats and said that even though they are indoors, they can still get fleas so he uses Advantage. I don't have a dog or any other pets, is it true that I need to still treat him just in case?

My vet told me I did not need to treat my cat since he is an indoor cat. I had another indoor cat at one time and I never treated her and she did not have them. I had her for over 12 years. You can ask your vet, but if your cat is not going outside, I wouldn't subject my cat to anything that has any poison on it. My cat has an immune problem anyway.

Yes, but not as often as an outdoor cat. Maybe every 3 months or so. Everyone who walks into the house can bring fleas from the yard.

I have several cats that are indoor only. I treat my dogs for fleas because they go outside, but not the cats. I have never had any problem with the cats. But, if you allow your cat to go outside at all, he will need treated also.

Its true. I think its best to do every 3 mths just in case.
Visitors can bring fleas home and even you can when we go out side.
