Fleas are fleas. They will bite anything that has blood. I'm not sure what you mean by infect though. You can get some diseases from fleas but normally it has to be an infestation or you have to be allergic to something in their anticoagulant or saliva.

Cat fleas will bite humans but not infect a human. You need to get some household flea spray and spray every corner of your house!! Otherwise the flea eggs will stay in carpets, rugs etc and will hatch out again when its warm and I don't just mean summer weather I mean central heating, gas fires, electric fires etc.
You will also need to spray yourself with the household flea spray.
Take your cat the the vets and the vet will spray you cat all over with a quick acting flea killer - not very pleasant for the cat but a necessity!!!
You will also be told that it is best to buy a flea spray from them, which is advisable!!
Hopefully within a few days all the fleas in your cat and house will have gone.
Also it is a good idea to buy your cat a flea collar!!
Gosh it makes me feel itchy just thinking about it.
I have got 4 cats and last year someone brought a dog into my home that had fleas and it was really bad, my poor cats!!!

Yes, they bite humans. Cat fleas are also the most common kind. They don't live on humans though, i.e they will hop on for a meal but not hang around a lay eggs, they do they on animals and in your carpet.

Fleas will bite anything they can get blood from. Go to the vet and get some Frontline and put it on the cat. It will get rid of fleas.
