Tiny Flying Non Biting Black Insects

I need help. I had a cat and although he's been missing for some time it appears we have some type of flea infestation. However from what I'm reading I'm not sure what these insects are. They have wings, can fly and are black in colour. They look like fleas, but don't bite either. I treated them, meaning the whole house last year, but they've returned. They're 2-3mm long 1-2 mm wide and black. The young look light greenish, they fly when interrupted, if nudged they fall down. Most are dead when inspected. Please help.

You can quit blaming the cat; they are not fleas. I'm sure someone from your area will know what they might be. If not, call your local university. They will direct you to the proper department where someone will be able to help. You might want to take a picture and email it for proper identification.
