Answer
wash your cat in dawn liquid dish soap first.

then apply ADVANTAGE ( you can get this from Petsmart/Petco)

Your dad needs to be a responsible parent and help you wiht this situation. She needs to get checked out.

DO NOT use flea soap/shampoos/powders. they are poisonous.

DO NOT USE ANY HARTZ FLEA PRODUCTS they are POISONOUS

good luck1
