Certainly! Here are some natural remedies for fleas in pet cats:

  1. Diatomaceous Earth: Food-grade diatomaceous earth can be sprinkled on your cat's fur (avoiding the face) to help kill fleas. Be sure to use a mask to avoid inhaling it.

  2. Apple Cider Vinegar: Dilute apple cider vinegar with water and spray it on your cat's fur. Fleas dislike the smell and taste of vinegar.

  3. Essential Oils: Some essential oils like cedarwood, lavender, and lemongrass can help repel fleas. Dilute a few drops in water and spray lightly on your cat's fur (avoiding the face).

  4. Regular Grooming: Regularly comb your cat with a flea comb to physically remove fleas from their fur.

  5. Wash Bedding: Wash your cat's bedding in hot water to kill any fleas or eggs present.

Remember to consult with your veterinarian before using any new remedies, especially if your cat has sensitive skin or underlying health conditions.
