Cat Health & Medical Problems : Cat Health: Applying Flea & Tick Treatments

aww poor cute kitty <3

dirty flea-filled kitty :D

All the vets that I have seen apply this stuff have been very nonchalant about it, placing it in areas that the cat could get to if they were very determined. What cat can't scratch the back of their head? She doesn't seem to mind that the cat is going for the medication.

So either the toxicity of Frontline and Advantage are greatly exaggerated or we're all stupid.

Hello, I need some advice on my situation and I really appreciate any feedback. I am an animal lover but after my pet passed, I decided not have another for a while. Unfortunatly, my neighbor likes to buy new pets and seriously neglect them. In result, I have been caring for two cats out of simpathy. I cannot afford to buy ADVANTAGE or FRONTLINE, but I have read about poison issues with the more affordible brands. I am worried about this and I do not know what my options are? Can you help?

@UseYourDisillusions look killing a cat with poison is too expensive you should a small cord like your shoes one and tie his neck and it will be easy.

I thought the medicine was to be applied between the shoulder blades.

you apply between the shoulder blades for dogs and towards the neck for cats
