My cat's fur is very thick & even when I separate it as best I can so I see a glimmer of skin, when I apply the flea medication it seems as though more of it gets on the fur than it does on the skin itself. I think for it to work, the skin has to absorb it, so I wonder how much of it he's actually getting - and thus how much that might reduce the effectiveness, & benefit, of the product. (I already tried the oral kind - my cat hated it, so it was difficult to administer; & it didn't seem to as good a job either, so I want to stick with the topical kind). I even tried using an electric clipper once to try to remove a small amt of the fur to get a slightly larger patch of skin available, but his fur is so dense, the clippers wouldn't do a thing so that didn't work). The topical kind works well at 1st, but the effect also seems to wear off in less than the 30 days it's suppose to last(my imagination?) - but that makes me wonder if maybe I'm just not getting enough of it on his skin ...?
