Are flea collars safe for T's?

Unfortunately, someone took my indoor cat outside against my wishes, and now we have fleas. In the past we've had success with flea collars, but she hasn't worn one since before I got a T. I wash my hands regularly, and make it a point to wash them before and after doing anything with the T's cage. I'm moving soon and would hate to bring them with me :\

As long as you thoroughly wash your hands before handling anything to do with the Ts, you should be fine

LOL!!!! I thought they had made a collar for Ts when reading the title....

Could you not wash your cat with some special shampoo to help kill off the fleas before you move? You still have a couple of weeks(if I remember correctly from another thread)

I've had this problem before with my wife's cat,I used flea powder on the cat and left it for 30 mins before brushing it out I then put a flea collar on it for a couple of weeks and that worked fine.

Since you don't let your cat in the same room as your T there shouldn't be any problem.
