Frontline... That's all I can say. If you're willing to spend the extra money at the vet, get the Frontline monthly for the cat himself, and then get the Frontline spray bottle. You can spray that on the cat, on the furniture, carpet, etc. It isn't harmful to anything as far as I know, except fleas and ticks that is.

Also, don't bother getting any of those "flea" products from the pet store/WalMart/Target/etc. They have been known to cause seizures, as are the flea/tick collars. Not a good thing for kittens and puppies, or any other animal/person exposed to them. The Frontline products are in no way harmful to humans or animals. The representative that came to our school responded to my question that it CAN be used on snakes, it is just off label. Gotta love it I believe the only thing you can't use it on is rabbits... But what can you use on them? LoL
