If you allow your cat out with out a preventative, your cat has about 100 percent chance of getting fleas.
You can buy Capstar and Frontline Plus at drsfostersmith.com . The Capstar will kill all the fleas on your cat almost instantly and the frontline will prevent re-infestation. Use the Capstar right away. It will kill all fleas on your cat with in an hour. It is imperative that you do not skip this. Frontline (or advantage, revolution, promeris, etc.) is only effective if the flea bites the cat. Fleas have a 3 week lifespan and only feed for a few days of those three weeks, so you must use Capstar to kill all live fleas on your cat. After you Capstar add on the Frontline Plus and it will keep fleas off your cat for 30 days. Any eggs that hatch will be killed when they feed by the Frontline. Refrontline every 30 days. No vet visit required and totally safe.

Frontline contains fipronil, which spreads via the body oils killing fleas within 24 hours and ticks within 48 hours. Ticks are generally killed before they bite, decreasing the risk of tick-borne disease transmission. Approved for use on kittens 8 weeks and older.
Frontline Plus also contains (S)-methoprene, an Insect Growth Regulator, which prevents an insect from maturing or reproducing. Approved for use on kittens 8 weeks and older.
You can use FRONTLINE flea and tick control once a month and it’s completely waterproof. Provide your cat with the best flea and tick protection, right from the start.

If you choose to have long hair than make sure to get a weekly dose of flea medicine

There is always a risk because some fleas (I’ve heard, may not be true) can live in the grass and spring up at any moment. If your cat play with another flea-infested cat/dog, there is also a possibility. So don’t flip out, it’s very common.

Well my cat goes outside very often, about four or five times a week and normally always comes home with fleas.

Well, it is very possible that your cat can get fleas and even ticks, you should just keep using flea and tick shampoo, or if your using powder? Wash them regularly with the tick and flea shampoo which will keep your cats flea & tick free! I let my kitten outside a lot, but I just keep it washed with tick and flea shampoo and hes fine! Oh yes, and another short thing is don’t use a flea coller its ineffective, and its best to use a shampoo or powder, as it covers the whole body and it doesnt only cover the neck area.

There is 100% risk of your cat catching fleas if it goes outside, and there is always a chance that a cat will get fleas sometime in it’s life, even if it stays in doors.
If in the case you feline does catch the pesky bug, you can buy special shampoos, gels and collars to get rid of and prevent further plagues.
I hope to have been of help!
