I was wondering the same thing....I recently moved into an apt that the past tenants had a dog and cat.  I clean and vacuum 2x a week.  I didn't understand why I would have fleas in my house.  My son's girlfriend has a cat, his girlfriend has been at my house as well as mu son being at hers.  I think they "transported" the fleas, unfortunately for me, they only bite me, not my son.  I thought they were in my sons room because after I would be in there I would find those little*#@!! on my ankles. Tonight I went for a walk and when I came back into my house....lo and behold, a *#@! flea was biting my ankle once again!!!  The stray cat may have fleas and some how has come in contact with your family, and so.....well you know.  I am going to the store tomorrow to get flea bombs, if you do, read the directions carefully as I have had a dog before and had to use these.  Good Luck!!

in all honestly they were probably there since the last owners but not enough to be noticed. fleas don't normally *clears throat* "Hatch" until dry hot days in summer, that's probably when they showed up... there real question is how to get rid of them, and that's my problem
