My opinion would be no, you probably don't need it, if your cat doesn't have fleas now. I had two indoor cats for 23 years & when I first got them as kittens they arrived with fleas. I treated them with a powder that I got from the Vet (it killed fleas & eggs) & after that initial treatment I never had another problem with fleas. This wasn't here in The Villages, but in my Village there are amazingly few bugs around (there are some but not many). I think it is primarily due to the pesticide use, followed by the lizards & birds which eat bugs. I don't know if you are near swamps & lots of wildlife, each village is undoubtedly different.
