Put it this way, my three are done with Frontline spray every couple of months
and have been done so for years - since kittenhood in fact. I don't spray it in
their eyes. One at a time I scruff them and spray it well into the fur and give
it a good rubbing in. They've licked the odd bit off, I'm sure, but they've
never come to any harm. I'm sure it doesn't taste of mouse, and they *don't*
lick it all off :-) I've had the odd bit on my hands and it doesn't appear to
have harmed me. The cats and I remain flea & tick free ;-)

When first done they look remarkably like fans of Sid Vicious, but other than
that, they are fine.

Frontline is *excellent* stuff - it can be used on kittens a few days old -
it's that safe on felines. I really wouldn't worry about it - honest.

I've used the capsules (rather than the spray) on all my boys for many
years: as it's applied in 2 drops - 1st on the back of the skull & 2nd
a few cm below that high in the nape of the neck - they aren't nearly
contortionist enough to be able to lick it off for themselves. Doesn't
stop one of the others giving it a go, mind you: I think it's the
attraction of the alcohol base :-)

However, no ill effects have ever been seen by me over 10 yrs +,
although I do try to kep them separated for an hour or so after
treatment. Perhaps you might consider trying the capsules instead?

I get the largest size available (large d*g, please don't tell my cats!)
      and a syringe to measure out the right dosage per cat.  Been
doing it for 8 years now and it made my geriatic cat *much* more
comfortable in his last years.  In addition I can put a greater amount
of my 14lb longhair so it gets all the nasties instead of leaving some
(which is what happens with a 5ml dos).  Just spread the hair at the
back of the neck and squirt on.  Now that I'm not in Florida during
summer monhs I don't have to do more frequently than 2-3 months

I can't answer Marina's question because Persia isn't really and
indoor/outdoor cat, despite having that Kitty Walk thing.  My question is
more along the lines of, what does this (or Advantage, for that matter)
cost?  I have a friend who is stating she cannot afford to dose her pets
with it given a financial crises.  However, she also stated one of her dogs
is being eaten up by fleas and has sores, etc. from scratching.  She says he
only goes outside thrice a day to do his "business" so this sounds very
alarming to me.  I mentioned perhaps a flea collar, but she indicated they
can't afford those either.

I'm out of work myself but if I can find some way to help her out, I'd like
to.  So what's the price of this stuff in USDollars?

All 3 of our boys get Frontline, but it's not a spray; it's a dose of
liquid that goes on the back of the neck where they can't reach to
lick it off.  (Oz and Tiger could lick it off of each other, I
suppose, but they don't.)  Mike's been getting it for years, and has
never had a bad reaction.
