Can you get fleas from your cat?
Yes, definitely. Fleas can infest almost any mammal. For example, I took my cat outside for a stroll, and a few days later I was itching like crazy. So was she. If you think you have fleas from your cat, I suggest flea bombing the house, flea shampooing your cat, and yourself.
You have found a flea on your cat will it have more?
There is a high probability that your cat will have more fleas on it. Fleas are tiny little things that reproduce fast, and your cat could probably have eggs or more fleas on it. If you want to prevent fleas, there are really good medicines out there you could use.
Do cat fleas spread on people?
Fleas don't usually live in human hair but they sure do bite. So if you're living with a cat who has fleas be ready to wake up in the morning with red bite marks all over your skin. Sometimes fleas do live in human hair but as soon as they find an animal body they go there. Fleas produce 50 eggs a day and these eggs get into the carpets and floorboards and can hatch up to 13 years later ! So there are plenty of fleas to come on to humans too.
