Hi there. I don't recommend using flea dips or shampoos on cats, as the chemicals in these products are quite strong and can be toxic. Instead, I would recommend getting a good-quality flea control medication from your veterinarian, such as Revolution or Bravecto. These products are safe for cats, and will be much more effective than an OTC shampoo.
