Dammit. My cat gave me flea bites. UPDATED

I meant ME. My cat has fleas and by rubbing against me, the fleas transferred to my legs and bit me.

1. You have a flea?

And your cat bites it? Is there a typo in there somewhere?

2. That's kind of odd. I've never heard of a cat biting a flea. I don't even

think that cats eat fleas, though they will eat fly's.

8. Cats do eat fleas when they are biting themselves

trying to detach the fleas. That is how cats get worms. :hi:

3. No. The fleas gave you flea bites. nt

4. They sell flea collars for that problem....

One around each ankle, and a couple around your neck should do it. :bounce:

5. Ha, ha. Very funny.

6. Revolution is pricey but worth it.

And fleas suck. I mean, fleas bite. I mean . . . fleas are terrible. There. That's what I'm trying to say, without a pun.

7. I hate getting flea bites more than anything.

(I figured it was a typo.)

I grew up on a farm and one summer when we returned after a week or two away with our dogs, we entered our house and the fleas leaped on us from all sides, up to our knees. They managed to survive without the dogs for two weeks, but wow were they hungry! We all waited outside with Dad then sprayed the whole house with insecticide.
This was long before flea collars or Revolution. (Yes, I agree with Bertha, Revolutions is wonderful.)

9. we had a cat that was allergic to fleas. She got one, got bit and died.
