No! No! No! cat fleas cant live in human clothes! its a scientific fact!!!!!
Correction:
There are no "cat fleas" - fleas are fleas, and the same ones that get on cats also get on dogs and other animals. The even bite people, but since people don't have fur for them to hide or burrow in, they don't stay on them.
And yes, fleas can live in clothing. Fleas can actually live in a sort of suspended animation for a long time, even outside in the cold winter. Then as soon as they detect body heat, they are able to leap onto the body of the animal that's nearby.
Yes there are types of flea that live on goats Cat, dog and human fleas are found occasionally on goats.
wash your bed clothes
Fleas on a cat are probably either dog fleas or cat fleas (these are two different species, but despite the name, either can survive on either a dog or cat ... or for that matter on other mammals). Both of them can and will bite humans.
No, fleas will live in your home and bite people instead. Your home will need to be treated for fleas if a fleas are seen!
Fleas don't usually live in human hair but they sure do bite. So if you're living with a cat who has fleas be ready to wake up in the morning with red bite marks all over your skin. Sometimes fleas do live in human hair but as soon as they find an animal body they go there. Fleas produce 50 eggs a day and these eggs get into the carpets and floorboards and can hatch up to 13 years later ! So there are plenty of fleas to come on to humans too.
The cat with fleas is a host
Yes, this happens all the time. Fleas typically prefer to live on other mammals like dogs and cats because they can hide in the fur coat easier. However, if a human is the only meal they can find, fleas will happily feed on humans with no problem.A flea would much prefer to live off of the blood of cats, dogs, or other animals, than they would that of a human. It is extremely unlikely for a human to be infested with fleas, but singular flea-bites are not uncommon.
While cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) and dog fleas (Ctenocephalides cannis) are two different species, most of the fleas found on dogs are actually cat fleas.
so they can live and production on the cat or dog and cause they can live no where else.
Just a few weeks ago I was wondering this!We asked a vet about this and these are the answers he gave us:They could travel on your clothes,If you have previously had fleas they can hibernate for 2 years without needing to feed on the cat,They could have them from a pet shop,Someone visiting your house could bring them in on shoes,clothes or briefcases.
Yes, if temperatures are between 50 and 130 degrees.
Yes any flee can move where ever it pleases.
