Well, I am still trying to talk her into bringing Mika in to have her kittens, I know I have a clean spot in my closet!!! Just needs a box, and a comfy place.
But, how do I get rid of her fleas? Flea bath? Mika hates water... She has only a couple of fleas on her, not many.. But, even if she wasn't pregnant, I would be getting flea stuff for her. But, I need some help with this? Thank you for reading!

One idea if you can't give her a bath is to make a flea trap. It won't completely solve the problem but it will minimize it somewhat

You place a pie plate or baking dish on the floor and add a little dish soap to the water. Plug in a night light above the dish and at night the fleas will be attracted to the light and jump at it. Then they will fall in the dish and the dish soap will prevent them from jumping back out, kinda like glue
It works pretty well. There is also something called diamideous
sp. dirt that you can sprinkle around the house, in corners,ect. that clogs the flea's spiracles, what they breath through, and kills them. As far as I know it's completely safe as well. Hope it helps
