FLEAS, which can be found on cats, dogs and other warm-blooded animals, are parasites.
They live on other animals and survive by sucking their blood. The warmth of a cat or dog's fur is the perfect environment for a flea to live and breed.

They are also excellent jumpers; they can jump 17cm into the air and 30,5cm sideways. - Tell Me Why?, Chancellor Press
