It sounds to me like you're doing everything right. I know that kittens need to eat at least 3 times a day. As far as the flea problem, I think that at 8 weeks she'll be able to have the frontline or advantage applied to her. I would also put this on all of the other animals just to be safe for at least 3 months. There are sprays you can use on your carpet but you need to take all of the animals out of the house for about an hour while it's drying. I've been through this before and all 3 of my cats are indoor only. I now use advantage on them on a regular basis. Fleas can jump on your shoes and you can bring them in that way or if you live near other animals then they can give them fleas too. Good luck. I've already seen Gigi's pics. She's sooooooo cute.
