Strong itch as a result of the itching, the animal scratches and even bites, most often in the area of the tail, buttocks and groin. You can also see scabs on the skin of the back or neck.

Flea are a vector of germs – so called rickettsial. Cats after infection most often do not show clinical symptoms, but germs transmitted by cats to humans can cause severe headache, high fever and depression.
