Cat Fleas

By:


Fleas are one of the more disgusting and horrible creatures on the planet. They are parasites which are creatures which live off the body of another creature. Parasites can cause much damange to their "host" including passing diseases to them.

Most people who have cats have had to deal with cat fleas. The flea that commonly lives on cats (and dogs too actually) is called the Cat flea. Pretty descriptive name right? It's scientific name is Ctenocephalides felis but if you don't mind I'll just refer to them as cat fleas! Want more obvious information about the cat flea? Well here you go, the Cat flea is one of the most common fleas in the world!

The cat flea's main host is the house cat. The cat flea is also the most common flea that lives on dogs. While these fleas can certainly bite humans and even infest them they cannot be sustained by humans. In other words if your cat goes so will your cat fleas! But of course you want to keep your cat! You just want to get rid of those nasty cat fleas.

Want to know something gross about cat fleas? Well they feed their children through fecal matter. Do you know what their fecal matter is made out of for the most part? The dried blood that used to flow through the veins of your beautiful cat! Ah, cat fleas are very despicable creatures.

You may be saying to yourself you already know that cat fleas are disgusting you want to get rid of them! Well yes, understood.

The easiest way to treat cat fleas is by using Frontline for cats. Frontline is safe for kittens over 8 weeks of age and only has to be used once a month. In fact it shouldn't be used any more often than that.
