Fleas are opportunists, not species-specific stalkers. They will test everything. You, the dog, the hamster, the neighbor who comes over for tea.
But they want to go home. And home is your fuzzy cat. So breathe easy. You are not going to become a flea hotel.
You’re just a snack stop on their way back to the fur buffet.
Here’s Your Takeaway Checklist
Can you catch fleas from a cat? Yes, for a bite. No, for a long-term relationship. Treat your cat, vacuum your rug, and put down the itch cream.
Your ankles will thank you. And your cat will stop looking at you like you’re the crazy one for scratching. It’s a win-win.
Now go give your itchy little lion a flea bath. You’ve got this.
