Cat Flea (Ctenocephalides felis)
This page contains illustrations of the Cat Flea (Ctenocephalides felis) in various formats such as PNG, SVG, and AI. The Cat Flea is a common parasitic insect that primarily infests domestic cats, although a significant number can be found on dogs as well. Both male and female adult Cat Fleas are red-brown, with gravid females appearing cream and dark brown due to egg swelling. These fleas are laterally compressed to easily maneuver through their host's hair close to the skin's surface. While typically causing minimal harm, they may trigger allergic reactions in hosts, potentially leading to disease transmission.
