I have recently treated my cat with a spot on flea treatment, but he still has fleas. Can I do him again after two weeks or do I have to wait the recommended five weeks?

It is recommended that you do every 4 to 6 weeks. Contact a Vet for special circumstances. www.vet4life.co.uk/
If the cat still has fleas you'll need to get a flea comb and start to comb the cat. Use a bowl of vinegar to put the fleans in once you comb the cat. Do not treat the cat again it is way too soon.
It is too soon to retreat. Some of the fleas have become immune to the flea treatments. Get one from your Vet. They have the newer ones that work better. It can take a couple weeks for all the fleas to die even with a good treatment. I usually figure on three months treatment if I want all the fleas gone. Then if the cat is outside at all or exposed to another cat with fleas you will need to keep treating on a regular basis.
It is dangerous to do treatment too soon after the first treatment.
I had a kitten with fleas, so I filled my sink with warm water, and put the kitten in it up to her neck. I put a glass of very hot water on the side of the sink. I know this might not work with a grown cat, but I didnt use any chemicals, the water was nice and warm, and all the fleas on her body crawled up to her neck and head, then I picked them off with tweezers, and put them in the glass of water, which killed them.
