Hello,
My two sister kittens are 7 months old and have been indoor since I adopted them from the humane society when they were 5 months old. They were at the shelter for about a month before that.
In the past few weeks, I noticed once on each of them what looks like a black speck (at different times). When I tried to investigate it, the black speck seemed to move deeper into their hair. After the first time, I thought it was just my imagination, but this morning I saw the same thing on the other one. So, now I am freaking out.
Could it be possible that they have fleas? I thought that the humane society took care of that along with everything else. I also took them to the vet after I got them for a check-up. They don't scratch themselves that much. Also, they are indoor, I don't have many visitors, and I keep a clean home.
I have tried to look at their fur and see if there's anything else, but I haven't seen anything. Am I just freaking out over nothing?
If they do have fleas, what is the best treatment (are those chemicals bad for them?) and also, can I catch them in my hair?
Thank you!
