Survival, fecundity and insecticide susceptibility of the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis fed on mice were evaluated. Duration from egg to cocoon formation of C. felis fed on mice was about 8 days, that from egg to adult emergence was about 18 days, and the accumulated emergence rate was 89.2%. The average number of eggs deposited was 10.3 eggs/day/(female), max. egg deposition was 21.6 eggs/day/(female) at 4 days after infestation, and total number of egg deposition was 402 eggs/(female). Longevity of C. felis reared on mice was more than 40 days. Insecticide susceptibility of mouse strain C. felis was the same as that of the cat strain. This rearing method is very simple and useful for producing a large number of cat fleas in a small space.
