The cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) may feed on many species, not just cats. In the UK most fleas found on pets will be cat fleas. The adults feed and reproduce on the host. The eggs then drop off the host into the environment. Larvae hatch from the eggs and feed on flea dirt (this is 'faeces' of the adult fleas which contains undigested blood). When larvae are large enough they pupate, they can remain in this state for long periods of time if necessary (this is the hardest stage to get rid of in the home). The adults emerge from the pupae and jump onto the host to begin the lifecycle again.

As an Elephant has more mass than a Cat, it weighs more than the Cat (because the mass of the Earth is constant).
