Question for indoor cat owners - Do you treat your indoor cat with any flea treatments? I have one indoor cat with no dogs. I have vinyl planking floor throughout home, and there is no carpet or area rugs for fleas to hide.

When I adopted my cat earlier this year, during the first vet visit, they recommended I purchase a monthly flea treatment (a few drops behind her head once a month),even though she is an indoor cat. The six month supply has been exhausted, and of course, they are recommending I refill the subscription. It’s a little pricey, and I’m not sure how much of a risk fleas are here to a cat that never goes outdoors or onto the screened lanai.

Looking for comments from other cat owners. Thanks.
2 cats and been here 5 years. They love the lanai that was enclosed with plexiglass when we bought it. We open the panes frequently for them, but we have never used flea treatments since we've been here nor do they have fleas. Not necessary.
