Identifying Cat Fleas
Cat fleas are the most common flea species affecting cats and dogs, but they will also bite humans. They have laterally compressed bodies adapted for moving through fur and powerful hind legs for jumping. Fleas feed exclusively on blood and can transmit tapeworms and other diseases. Infestations can be challenging to control, requiring treatment of pets, indoor environments, and sometimes outdoor areas. Vacuuming, washing pet bedding, and using veterinarian-recommended flea preventatives are essential for control.
