There are many different brands of cat flea collars. Generally, flea collars work by either emitting a toxic gas to the local area (head/neck of the pet) or by exuding chemicals that are absorbed into the animal's skin. Some flea collars have an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR), to prevent development of cat fleas, eggs and larvae.
Topical flea treatment meant for dogs can be toxic to cats. Frontline and Advantage are two popular brands that can be used on kittens as least eight weeks old. Revolution is a newer product that can be used in kittens as young as six weeks.
