Cat Flea Ctenocephalides felis felis The most common domestic flea is the cat flea. The adult cat flea, unlike many other fleas, remains on the host.
Adults require a fresh blood meal in order to reproduce.
The cat flea is most commonly found in and around homes with pets. The cat flea life cycle is one of complete metamorphosis, involving the stages of an egg, larva, pupa, and adult. This cycle usually lasts 30 to 75 days, yet may vary due to external factors, such as temperature and humidity To learn more about Cat Fleas check out the University of Florida Featured Creatures.
