What is the Cat Flea Diet?
Adult cat fleas will begin to seek blood after the second day of birth but can live several months from the fat stored on their body. Cat fleas may transmit plague and there is very strong evidence that they may transmit typhus.
What is the Cat Flea Reproductive Cycle?
Female cat fleas lay 4-8 eggs after each blood meal, which means females can lay over 400-500 eggs during their lifetime.
Where do Cat Fleas Live?
Cat fleas can jump about 6″ vertically so they can easily hitch rides on legs and bodies of cats, kittens, and even humans.
