Excessive scratching, tiny black specks in the coat, unusual restlessness: your cat probably has fleas. Here's how to get rid of them effectively, without resorting to harsh pesticides.
Run a fine-toothed comb through the coat, especially at the base of the tail and around the neck, over damp white paper. Small black specks that turn reddish on contact with water are flea droppings — a reliable sign even without spotting the insect itself.
