I suppose that this is always a possibility. But generally fleas hang out in the dirt or grass waiting for an animal to walk by so its unlikely they'd be hanging out around your windows. I'd say your chances of getting fleas that way are slim. It's more likely that someone else or you who had contact with an animal with fleas or if you picked one up somewhere outside is the way yours would give fleas to your cat. If you are going to stress about it then you could use something like "Advantage" flea treatment that works for 3 months. Your cat is most likely to get fleas during very warm weather when they tend to thrive. So this is probably only a concern during the summer unless you live in a climate where its always 70, 80 or 90 degrees.

No, Fleas are vey good at jumping that high nad getting places like that, but unless your cat was just laying by the window leaning against it and staying there and there jst happened to be a little flea sitting net to it, it isn't possible. Even if a stray w/ fleas passed by, fleas can't get to that height without help and if your cat has flea shampoo, the fleas would be detracked.

Your cat could potentially get fleas. The fleas are much tinier than the screen and can crawl through the screen. I would just give your cat flea treatment if you decide to open your windows.

each and every little thing Amber has stated, yet you do no longer unavoidably might desire to get a chemical flea powder to rid your project. in case you have carpeting everywhere then sprinkle table salt down and enable it take a seat over night. If there are any flea eggs interior the carpet the salt will kill them by employing dying them out for loss of a extra smart description. After that factor era vacuum the carpet (this might %. up fleas, larvae and the eggs) and then do away with the bag. in case you utilize a bagless vacuum then rinse out the container with soapy water. conventional soapy water will kill fleas. additionally you ought to purchase a flea comb and comb your kitties, pulling any fleas off the comb as they are caught and putting them in a container of soapy water.

I think it is more likely that fleas come in on your shoes and socks unnoticed. Especially if there are pets in the neighborhood. Fleas can jump a long way and once you walk across the grass and they jump on you and you carry them into your house, they take one look at your smorgasbord cat and away they go.

they may get it if there was a passing animal that was a carrier and your cat happened to be there. also if you have rugs outside by the screens, there maybe some eggs or fleas in there too.

Yup. Fleas can get thru the little teeny holes in the screens that kitty can't get thru.
