The distinction between the terms renminbi and yuan is similar to that between sterling and pound, which respectively refer to the British currency and its primary unit. One yuan is subdivided into 10 jiao (Chinese: è§; pinyin: jiÇo), and a jiao in turn is subdivided into 10 fen (Chinese: å; pinyin: fÄn).
Fleas are attracted to the warmth that the bodies of their hosts emit, vibrations and carbon dioxide, and they also like warm and carpeted environments where their hosts rest. These parasites feed on the blood of their hosts and can cause a number of conditions including skin infection and irritation, loss of hair and lethargy in their hosts.
Adult fleas feed on cat blood; in young kittens this can cause weakness, anaemia and death. Fleas are important in the transmission of âcat scratch diseaseâ between cats and to humans. This is an infection with the bacterium Bartonella hensellae, and is spread when fleas feed on blood. Some dogs and cats develop an allergy to flea bites, which causes them to scratch excessively or develop skin disease. Cat fleas can cause itchy bites on sensitive humans, typically around the ankles .
