another little tip for killing the majority of the fleas.. give your kitten a bath and use baby shampoo, lather it up avoiding the eyes and mouth and leave it on as long as you can (about a minute is best) some live fleas will run onto the non wet areas and you can drown them in vinegar if you have a lil bowl beside you then rinse off your kitty and the vast majority of fleas will be dead, you may have a grumpy kitten for a little while but it does work
