Help!
I think my 10 yr old cat has fleas...I haven't actually seen any but she is scratching a little and to my horror earlier today I noticed lots of dark 'bits' of debris where she's been sleeping.
So I'm in a complete panic about this - aware I'm possibly overreacting but having over-googled I came across some info that suggested that fleas can cause tapeworm! Is there a risk to my children (5 & 2) too? I can't bear the thought.
Obviously I'm treating the cats with decent flea stuff, do I automatically need to do the house as well? I can't think about anything else - have become obsessed and wishing there was some way I could put the entire house in the washing machine :(
