Cat Flea's Okay so I have a kitten..we took her to a vet and, among other problems, she also has fleas. My questions are:
Are they dangerous to humans?
Is my kitten going to be okay? (We put this powder stuff taht kills fleas on her and all over the house..yet, she still scratches..)
What do flea bites look like?
And finally, I heard cat fleas don't like humans, so all they do is bite us and fall off because they don't like our blood. Is this true?
Thanks!

Fleas are very common amount pets, Fleas tend to come the most in the summer time. The best thing to use to get rid of and help the fleas is Frontline it can be bought at any animal hospitals or pet store. I must warn you though, If the fleas are left untreated it could cause the kitten to bite her fur as sometimes animals have flea allergies. Fleas also lay eggs as well. I personally found Frontline being the most useful product for my cats.
I also found this on Wiki..
