natural remedy for fleas on my cat

[mckenzie]

I think my poor old boy might have fleas. I am finding huge chunks of his fur all over the house these last few days.
Is there anything naturda I can use to get rid of them (assuming it is fleas of course)?

TIA

there was meant to say "anything natural"

and that was meant to say "that was".

I'm obviously too tired so off to bed now. will read replies (hopefully) in the morning

I think you can do cunning thingswith neem oil but information is hardto come by. We compromisedand used the frontline dropswhich I HATE but had to do something asshe isallergic and I refuse to use thewhole housetreatments.

My cat is infested with fleas, finding it near impossible to get rid of them! You can buy garlic tablets for cats from petshops they're meant to repel fleas and improve coat condition. Personally however, i'd get down the vets and get him jabbed as fleas are really hard to get rid off once they take hold.

MIL said last niht that she thinks cats shed their summer coats to make way for their new winter ones. could this be what is happening do you think or does it sound like a classic case of fleas?
