can cps take my kid away for having fleas?

it depends on how bad the flea infestation is. I've heard of kids being taken away for bed bugs and stuff like that too. But, if you show that you are taking active measures to get rid of the problem, you most likely wont have to worry about anything. I would suggest bathing the cat and kitten with a flea shampoo, followed up with advantage or another flea and tick treatment. When you bomb the house, dont forget to wash all of the bedding and laundry in the house, too. sometimes the fleas can hide in matresses, bedding and laundry and the flea bomb will not effectively kill them or their eggs. I am also a fan of the triple vacuum followed by carpet shampooing.
