Yes, a flee can survive on any animal but it may not be able to stay living on a person for ever, about a month would be the most amount of time it would survive on a human.

Is there a difference between dog and cat years?

Yes, there's a difference between cat years and dog years. What we call "dog years"(to calculate a dog's "human" age), is simple. For every human year a dog has lived, that's 7 "dog years". So a 2 year old dog is 14 dog years, while a 5 year old dog is 35 dog years. A cat's age is a little more tricky. Different sources vary slightly, but this is the most common way. The first year of a cat's life is 15 "cat years". Then you add 9 "cat years" for the second year, so a 2 "human year" old cat is 24 "cat years". For every "human year" after that, you add 4 "cat years". An 8 "human year" old cat would be 48 "cat years". "human year" = 365 days, one revolution around the Sun "cat year" = the comparative "year" for a cat based on milestones, such as walking, sexual maturity

Nope. All fleas are the same. There's no human flea, cat flea, dog flea, or any certain flea. They're on everything. A human could possibly get sick if they had a reaction to a flea bite (unlikely), but flea bites only itch. Trust me, I know. I attract fleas *and* mosquitoes, and all those other horrible things.
