thjough anything is possible...
it's pretty rare for an indoor cat to get fleas...
certainly not enough to worry about.

btw: cat fleas *cannot* survive on humans anyway

Yes, Virginia, indoor cats can get fleas.

There are a plethora of products to get rid of them and some of them
even work.

Yes indoor cats can get fleas.  It's possible for us to bring things in on
our shoes.  My cat is indoors but it's still necessary to take precautions
against all parasites.  When you get your kitty, talk with your vet about
the products they use.  My cat gets revolution once a month.  It not only
protects against fleas but other parasites that are harmful for your cat's
health.

Depends on where you are I think... for me, the ones that came from a
farm had fleas when they got here but (a short bath later) never had
them again.

You may end up using a flea product once every two years instead of once a
month.  That would at least be a lower lifetime dosage.

If you live in the US, indoor is generally preferred. In many areas, it's
illegal to allow your cat outdoors unless it's on a harness and you're
holding the leash. If you have questions about something as simple as fleas,
you may want to do more reading about cats to find out what you're looking
at in terms of veterinarians in your area, vaccines for your cat, blood
testing, etc. Fleas are only the tip of the iceberg. If you have a shelter
or humane society nearby, the staff should be able to answer any of your
questions and let you know what to expect with your very first cat.

Our two never got fleas, but then they were pretty much always indoors, save
for the regular trips to the vet...other bugs would occasionally sneak in, but
they weren't interested in biting the cats or us (especially the crane flies
;).
