Fleas!
After spending the night playing Guild Wars, I retired to find, not only the cat sleeping in my bed, but black dander all over it. I also discoved that a few flees had desided to migrate off the cat and latch themselves all over the bed.
There are little indentations all over the pillow wear one perticularly large flea had been trying to suck blood, or feathers, or something out of my pillow. One smaller flee I attempted to crush with a peace of paper. After a 30 second struggle while the little bugger tried to hop away I somehow tore it away from it's legs - which were still latched into the bed! They are almost impossible to destroy!
And as I was typing this, A FLEA JUMPED ON my SPACEBAR!!!1
So much for FRONTLINE FLEA CONTROLL!

Obviously you haven't tried using a more convincing tactic, such as a taser.

btw heres something natural that works really well too
neem oil or neem shampoo
it kills all fleas in secs!
just wash your cat or dog and bam all fleas are dead
it works wonders
i used it on my dogs
they rarely got fleas after that
the neem is a natural and safe way to kill fleas and it makes your dog or cat have shiney fur and other bad things
get neem if you wanna be safe too.

They're back! I woke up this morning with a giant army of 3/8s of an inch sized (largest fleas I've ever seen) fleas gleefully hopping about on my bed. Today the trash cans will run silver with the taped up bodies of my enemies!!1

3/8" fleas?!? Are you certain those are fleas and not evil ticks?
Try lemon water. Seriously. Chop up a lemon and put it (pulp, rind, juice and all) into a spray bottle. Fill the bottle the rest of the way with water. Let it sit at room temperature for a couple hours. Then spray a paper towel or wash cloth and pet your cat with it. Spray the lemon mixture on your bed and carpet, too. I don't recommend spraying the cat directly though, as this can lead to bloody legs/arms/face. The lemon scent smells good to us but fleas and ticks don't like the citrus for some reason. Maybe it's the citric acid, maybe it blocks the way they track their prey. Either way, worked for me on two cats and a dog.
P.S. Lemon juice also works as a nice degreaser, just like the orange cleaner you find in the stores. Water it down a bit and put on a towel to clean your keyboard, mouse, or even the plastic parts of your monitor.

Go to the Pet store and get HealthGuard Flea & Tick remover. It is a liquid that you put on the back of the animals neck. Follow the directions to a T. Also then go to the Grocery store and get RID It kills lice and Fleas. Follow the directions to the T on that stuff too. You are going to have to wash ALL your linens and clothes in HOT water. You are going to have to vacuum your carpet very very well.
I would keep your pet isolated in a room so it will not infect other areas of your house. You are going to probably have to bath your cat...that will be fun...eh? Wear leather gloves.

That is not Fleas. Dogs have sacks near the anus. They need cleaning out or they are infected.
