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.
I do not use every month on my cat. She has had fleas twice in 8 years but she does not go out at all. If you are letting out outside in a screened area I would use flea meds every other month. I say that because my cat is sensitive to the flea meds, the reason why she never goes out.
