How to Cure Cat Fleas

Fleas are a common complaint from owners of dogs and cats. Fleas are small creatures that bite and stick to your pets like parasites. They lay their eggs wherever they deem worthy and can lay up to 60 eggs per day. Their habits are much like cockroaches in that they can adapt and build immunities to commonly used cleaners and flea killers.
