Pictures of Cat Flea Bites
Another good reason for proper flea control when you have a cat is to avoid getting cat flea bites. If you’ve got a cat flea infestation, take care of it right away before you end up with bites like these.
Cat flea bites are extremely itchy and can be especially annoying to those with sensitive skin. Rashes and infections caused by scratching are also common. Some people even break out into hives from the bites.

Because the bites are soo itchy, they become inflamed when you scratch them and can take longer to heal. It is a good idea to wash the bites with an antiseptic to reduce your chances of getting an infection.
If possible, avoid scratching the bites as much as you can. The less you scratch the quicker the bites will heal.
