cat flea bite ?
Posted: 08-31-08 00:18am

three red, almost identical, dots on the upper part of my calf. pretty sure i got it while laying down in bed. here's a link to a pic. could it be cat flea bite? there's another one down lower in my calf and it's by itself. they all itch like crazy.

no mosquitoes in my house at all but there is a cat so a flea bit would be most likely, right? thanks for the reply.

I have 4 ^..^. Advantage on the inside ones and Resolution on the outside cats. Expensive, I get it through eBay......but have not been bitten in a couple years, since I disvcovered flea collars were a joke. Paint the bite with clear fingernail polish. Will burn like a B but it will stop it from itching! Love my cats 2
