I had a serious infestation of fleas a few years ago when I had my two kitties, and they never went outside. I was doing more yardwork than usual that year, and I guess they came in on my feet.
As a pet owner who has done it both ways, I can't say enough about how much happier I am with no carpets. Not nearly as hard to deal with fleas, and cleanup of any accidents (not to mention spilled seed under the bird cage) is so much easier.
