Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis). Cat fleas are surface parasites feeding on the blood of the host using piercing and sucking mouthparts. They have long powerful legs enabling them to leap relatively large distances. Veterinary preparations are available that kill adult fleas and stop the development of larvae and eggs.
