What the AI looks for in Cat Flea Sprays

Cat-safe actives
Use a spray labelled for cats, with no permethrin and no essential oils. Both permethrin and essential oils can poison cats.
Application
Spray against the coat growth to reach the skin, and avoid the eyes and face (apply there with a gloved hand). Coverage drives how well it works, and sprays near the face irritate eyes and airways.
Residual vs knockdown
Pyrethrin-only sprays kill fleas quickly but don't last, so pair them with a longer-acting treatment. Without residual activity, the cat is reinfested within days.
