Well, I know this isn't a cat thread but what the heck, it keeps the thread on top right?

BTW, I checked little grayson for fleas(don't want to contend with fleas on 3 cats)

Question, do fleas live on cats in -10F weather. Closing my eyes waiting for answer ... noooooooo flea eggs argh... puleeze let the answer be no!

I found this:

A common misconception is that fleas and other parasites are not a problem in the winter. This is not the case. The fact is, your pets may be exposed to parasites more often than you think in the winter. Here's why:
The onset of mosquito or flea season is impossible to predict.
Midwinter warm spells can produce ideal conditions for fleas to emerge.
Under the right environmental conditions, fleas can survive, and even reproduce, indoors during the winter.
