It’s not…”bad” to give them a bath, but if they HATE water then it’s a little mean. If you get Flea meds like Frontline, Advantage, etc., it should kill those eggs and any other fleas on your pet(although it does sometimes take a while). Please do not buy flea collars.

If your cat has fleas than it probably has something wrong with it. Cause that means that it is not grooming itself. You HAVE to take your cat to the vet ASAP.

No, the cat certainly won’t enjoy it, but it won’t hurt. I reccomend washing it with dawn dishwashing liquid. It kills fleas, and when you rinse, you can see all the dead fleas washing of. However, it is very harsh on their skin, so use some gentle conditioner afterward. While bathing the cat, I would also reccomend that you wear long sleeves, and possibly leather gloves. : )
