Go to your vets and either get the flea collar Ovi or, get the Program Kit. In 'Program' they are little capsules and you snip off the end. Push the hair back between the cats shoulder blades and squeeze onto the skin DO NOT RUB IN!!! This will get rid of the fleas.
Other tips:
- Put an extra Ovi collar in the bag of your vacuum cleaner.
- Vacuum every day for two weeks and then continue on every two days. Get into corners, under couch cushions, etc. Fleas love the corners of rooms or under cushions of sofas. Of course they will be in carpets as well.
- If you find you are really infested with fleas have your cat stay at the vets for 24 hours and get a Environmentally safe Exterminator to come in. This means you will have to leave the house for a few hours. I've only had to do this once. From then on I vacuumed every second day.
People can also bring in fleas. Just mowing the lawn the fleas can land on a person's clothing or shoes and be brought into the house.
I have tried a lot of different things to get rid of the fleas my cats had. The best I found without going to a vet is Aadams brand spray for your pet. it comes in a blue bottle and is a little pricey, but the fleas literally fell off of my cats once they got sprayed with it. Definitely worth the extra money spent on it. I found this at my local Petsmart store. Also, for the house I found that Raid Flea killer works great. It comes in a purple aerosol spray can and I found it in the chemical department (with outdoor bug repellant stuff) at my local Wal-Mart.

I would wash my cat or have it professionally groomed to remove all of the "flea dirt", feces/dried blood and all of the live fleas. Then, I would apply a flea treatment to the cat. Don't use the cheap ones, they can kill your cat. I used a foam flea shampoo from Hartz and it almost killed my cat. I thought it would be less stressful than a bath. I ended up having to give the cat a bath at 10:00 at night while it was foaming at the mouth. Go with the flea treatment recommended by the vet or groomer.

No, it is not normal at all. There are several reasons why this may have happened, from fleas (fleas can actually kill tiny kittens), to health issues with either the mother or the kittens, or the mother just couldn't cope in looking after them well. It is ideal to spay your cat as soon as you can so this doesn't happen again.
