Answer 1

Yes. Cremation is done bugs and all.

Answer 2

Sorry to hear of your loss. Yes, cremation can be done.

Answer 3

Yes, they'll cremate your cat, even if it does have fleas on it. However, dollars to donuts, your cat had fleas when it died - even if you didn't see any fleas on it while it was alive. The fleas you saw the following day are all leaving the cat's body because the cat is dead and they're searching for a new source of food.. That's what's usually happening when you see fleas on a dead animal that you could swear never had fleas before.

Answer 4

Buy some flea powder and sprinkle that on your cat and the blanket. That should get rid of the flea infestation.

Answer 5

They should cremate her regardless of anything really. Sorry for your loss :(

Answer 6

Yes they will still cremate him, they don't care about fleas.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Yeah sure TROLL. Reported for FLAME BAITING.

Answer 9

I am very sorry to hear that. At least your kitty passed peacefully in your arms.
