More Information:

Cats wanderings, and contacts with other animals, bring them into contact with fleas. Fleas, from the general environment and other animals, jump onto them, and quickly make their way under the fur, where they immediately go about living, and making a living, on their new host. Also, if you've just moved, your new home could be providing fleas for your cat. Fleas can live in carpets for a long time.

Answer 3

Puppies can get fleas from their parents who might already have fleas or from the outside if they have been out. Fleas can jump high and the parents can pass on the fleas to their puppies. Also, once a flea is on a dog, it may lay some eggs on the dog and these eggs would most likely fall off and could end up in carpet or on a rug, or even in the dog's bed. That way, when they hatch, they are already in the person's house and then they can jump onto the puppies. If the puppies have been outside, then they could have easily gotten fleas, since there are so many fleas everywhere.

To prevent puppies from getting fleas, it would be a good idea to make sure the parents do not have any and that the puppies get some products specially designed to kill or prevent fleas.
