Cats don't get flea dips. I would suggest instead to give her a dawn dish detergent bath, that will strip the fleas off of her. Then wait until she is completely dry and applying Revolution topical flea preventative. You should also treat your home with a flea fogger to rid all the possible eggs and baby fleas that have hatched. Keep an eye on her stools also since cats often get tapeworms from ingesting fleas on their haircoat as they groom themselves. If this is seen, then a trip to your vet is needed for medication to treat. I hope that this helps you rid Cleo of her flea problem. wishes and take care.
