I have four cats,all of them related to each other.I have one cat that's the oldest,one that's 1of4 of the offspring of the oldest cat;and two that are basically the grandchilldren of the oldest cat.
Oldest cat is real nice and lets anyone pet her
2nd oldest is kinda mean&has a attitude
the 2 younger:one of them looks like a twin of the 2nd oldest(difference is the older is F&the younger M);the oter is looks like a marshmellow;thus we named him Marshmellow.And marshmellow also has a bad if not worse attitude.
Problem is I cant put flee/tick sray or powder on any of them. Each one will throw a fit and attempt to scratch me up if I try &put something on them.Evan the oldest catwhich is the nicest,sweetest,&most docile.Each one just refuses to let me put flee&tick stuff on them.First I was using the spray&that didnt work.Thinkin the powder is quiet&they wont notice...WRONG,they still know what it is.
So what do I do,so I can put some flee&tick stuff on them so they dont get ForT?

If you can do this it will always save the day. Buy some frontline/ advantage. Then go to your local you kill it store and buy this flea spray that they have for the house, it's in a grey arosal container, with green writing on it. It works. Total cost is 55.00 for every thing

Powders and sprays are really only to use in a flea infested animal and will not fix your flea problem. You spray/dust and the adults may die or just jump off, while the eggs that are still there or on your carpet and in your home and yard....well they are still there!! (Flea collars are dangerous to cats and don't work anyway)
Since your felines do not like this (and it really does not work anyway) why bother. Get them Interceptor/Frontline etc. from your vet. This takes care of all the fleas! AND it is a small topical applied to the shoulder area. It takes less than 30 seconds to apply and you only have to do it every 30 days.

Probably something like Advantage for cats would be easier. It is small and quiet. For friendly cats just separate an area of fur at the base of the neck, put the tube there and squeeze 2 times. My cat thinks I'm petting her. As for the other cats, wrap them in a towel so you don't get scratched.....its a fast process. Good luck!

Easy ! they have this new stuff now Called PurrScriptionsTM Squeeze-On for Cats and Kittens its very easy to use just open one wait till they are in your lap or asleep ,if needed place a towel around them and have someone hold them for you and just place the droops on the back of there neck. it works really well ,I use it all the time and I have 3 cats .

Fleas are a major pest. There are various species of fleas - cat fleas, dog fleas, rat fleas and rabbit fleas.
You can get rid of them by the safest and cheapest methods like boric acid.
