Eventualy the cat will become anaemic due to the constant feeding from the fleas. The cat will die if not treated
Try putting a flea & tick collar on the cat or just buy a flea spray in shops....
There are many stores that sell Frontline Flea and Tick control for cats. Check out PetSmart or Petco. One can also find it at stores such as Amazon or Walmart.
Flea bites are small red dots that itch. Cats or dogs can bring them in from outdoors and they can multiply in carpets, bedding etc. My cat brought them in, and I had small bites all over my ankles and that's how I discovered the fleas. I used a flea bomb insecticide that can be bought at any pet shop and worked very well.
Cats with fleas scratch and bite the fleas. The cat then swallows flea excrement which contains flea eggs. When flea eggs get inside the intestines of the cat or kitten, the egg makes a worm. Cats or kittens can also ingest the eggs from being outside poking around in dirt or grass, or from licking an infected cats' fur or licking it's rear end. NOTE: More flea eggs live in soil and grass than most people realize. If you have an outdoor, or an indoor-outdoor dog or cat, your yard needs treated at the same time you treat your pet for fleas and worms. NOTE: Flea eggs in flea excrement can survive a long time, even on a cement basement floor. So ALL areas of the house must be treated.
No, the kitten is to young still. The instructions on the flea medicine box should give you directions and usage for that product. A 8 week old kitten is too young for flea medicine and also too young for a bath with flea soap
Most shampoo flea control is not safe for cats let alone kittens. You're better off giving the mother cat an advantage top spot, as it will also protect her babies.
Flea in french is Puce, the phrase flea market comes from France when back in the days, the "marche aux puces" was infested with fleas.
If you have seen one flea, your house is likely already infested. You can contact a pest exterminator to help figure out how bad the infestation is and how it can be eliminated.
No, If yours is you should take it to a vet. but dont leave it outside.
They can die if they are allergic to the flea medicine but this almost never happens, so for the majority of cats the answer is no.
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.
If your car is infested with fleas you will likely have to use a flea spray or flea bomb to eliminate all of them. After using the spray you will do a thorough cleaning of the car to remove any of the flea poison residue and air your car out.
No, a flea is a flea. There is no "cat flea" or "dog flea". Its just a flea and its just as likely to get a cat or dog.

You will know when your cat/kitten has fleas because it will leave behind black semi-circular poo's, you can't see the flea's themselves without a microscope but flea drops and powder should clear them up.
yes because cats tend to have a feeling to where when they wear flea collars, they feel the fleas on them because they know that they had fleas.
