Yes, bed bugs will feed on any warm blooded animal (e.g., cats, dogs, birds, bats, and rodents), but they prefer to feed on humans. If they feed on a pet, they typically feed on those areas with less fur or feathers. Bed bugs are unlikely to remain on the animal after feeding.
The warmth of a close-by body is what pulls them; they can perceive a food source up to approximately 5-10cm away. Bed bugs use their very developed mouthparts to bite and suck blood from the skin of a credulous person. Engorgement time can last so long as 7 mins or as short as one minute. An adult bed bug can absorb around 7 times of its own body weight in blood.
