Ugh. I’d get rid of the fleas and keep the cat.

Cat is going to be gone. Can't give them away. He is a real nice cat, but he has to go. Sorry.

I just had this conversation with my pest control guy last week. If you give the cat Advantage flea treatment, any fleas that jump on him will die after biting him. If you flea bomb the house and get rid of the cat, in two weeks you will have a another round of fleas that have hatched and no way to kill them other than another round of flea bombing. If you keep the cat, and keep it on Advantage, you might not even notice the next couple of rounds of fleas. If you get rid of the cat, your problem will last much longer and your house will require many rounds of flea treatment.

Then find him a good home, since you can't provide one...no need to have him/her executed.

You have been given some good advise about the flea bombs but the problem started because you let the cat go outside. Cats need to live inside and if you can’t handle a litterbox........ then I think the cat is screwed.

Be careful with the flea treatment on the cat, we killed a can because we put too much on him. Also you can spray your yard to kill fleas before they get into you house. You can bring fleas in on your own legs and feet, they need to be eliminated out there too.

Apparently your disposal plan for your cat is being FREEPER’ly “weighed in the balance and found wanting!”

Please don't get another pet. You shouldn't have had one to begin with.

You need to treat your couches and chairs as well, where kitty my jump or lay. You should also treat the outside of your house and yard. We had the same problem briefly while in Texas, but easily cured the problem using a systematic approach for the house, yard, and kitty, with a couple follow-ups to get any hatchings. It worked fine and kitty could still run outside.
