Today I discovered that my indoor only kitten (10 months old) has fleas, which undoubtably means my other cat has them too. I am reluctant to use frontline or anything along those lines on them because I know that they are essentially toxins. I'm going to go buy a flea comb tomorrow (I didn't discover the fleas until 11:30 at night, and I resisted the urge to run to the store and ge one right then). One thread mentioned bathing the cats in Dawn dish soap- will that really work? What is the best non-toxic way to get rid of them.

I also know that fleas can pass worms to cats. Do all fleas carry worms? How worried should I be that they have now transmitted worms?
