Just to reinforce Sherry's opinion:
Likewise, a few years ago I used a similar spot-on treatment, per the directions
and exactly where Sherry says.
I think it used to be only available from the vet (but was not prescription).
Now places like I think Pet Smart sell it and/or similar formulas.
I bought some kind of carpet treatment (specifically designed for flea
problems), too, but one has to be careful with pets and humans when using this
stuff. I ended up only having to use it on a couple of rooms, as the cat (and so
fleas) was (were) pretty much restricted in where he (they) could go.

You can order advantage online as well. I've used it with good results and
if applied in the spot described the cat won't end up injesting it.
I haven't used a flea collar in years. They didn't work very well and Tiggy
was allergic to it.

Thanks for the reply :0)
I guess I didn't put the treatment in the right place. I will try Advantage
& see how Zee B gets on with that.
