And call an exterminator to give a good treatment to where you are living... you don't want to end up with flea bites yourselves, or getting her re-infested!!

The way to tell if it's fleas is to comb her. Any "black dots" that are moving are fleas. Any black dots that aren't moving is flea dirt (flea eggs). I'd also take her to the vet.
My cats had fleas recently. Fortunately, I caught it early enough where 2 applications of Revolution did the trick. The problem with fleas is once they get in your house, they multiply and are even more difficult to get rid of.
Good luck.
Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever.

The "flea dirt" is also the dried blood from where they bite the kitty...
Be sure, if it is fleas, to deal with it aggressively and make sure the kitty and the home are completely treated. They do come back if they are not all killed, and can do so with a vengence.
