Are there fleas on your cat? Or are you concerned there might be in the future? Fleas are the most common external parasite seen on cats. If your cat is scratching more than normal, has hair loss around his lower back/tail area, or has tiny black dots that look like pepper in his fur, they most likely have fleas.
