Normally I treat my indoor / outdoor cats with Revolution. This topical treatment provides protection
against a range of parasites, including fleas, ear mites, worms and some types of
ticks. However, my three senior cats do not go outside, the only time they get
fresh air is by sitting on our screened
in sun porch. When I found a tick on the
indoor cats I knew that all cats needed protection against fleas and ticks.

Cats with access to an outdoor cattery or screened in porch can still be exposed to fleas and ticks. Fleas can hitch a ride on clothing, shoes, or other pets, while ticks may find their way into the cattery or porch through small gaps in the screen or from other animals like our dog or our indoor / outdoor cats. While the risk is lower compared to cats roaming freely outdoors, it's not zero.

If you are interested in learning more about flea
and tick prevention treatments. Here are
the ones that I recommend.
Revolution for cats is a
topical treatment that provides protection against a range of parasites,
including fleas, ear mites, and some types of ticks. For comprehensive tick
prevention, you might want to consider products like Revolution
Plus, Bravecto Topical, or Advantage
Multi, as these are often recommended for tick control.
My veternarian recommends year-round flea and
tick prevention for all cats, including those primarily indoors. It's best to consult your veternarian to determine the
most suitable treatment for your cat.
