Because they feed on a cat's blood, that parasite can get into your cat's blood stream, and do some nasty damage, leading to death if this is severe an not treated. With dogs, it's pretty much the same. The fleas will multiply and soon, 1 little flea can become 100,000 and your dog will be very sad. I hope that helped somehow.
