Cat flea

The cat flea (scientific name Ctenocephalides felis) is an extremely common parasitic insect whose principal host is the domestic cat, although a high proportion of the fleas found on dogs also belong to this species (this despite the widespread existence of a separate and well-established "dog" flea, Ctenocephalides canis).

The two fleas found most often in our homes are the dog flea and the more pervasive cat flea.

The cat flea is found on both cats and dogs and, alas, goes after humans too.
