Don't fool around with the cheap stuff. Get Advantage, Frontline, or
Revolution. If you can't "afford" them, sell your computer. Your cats
come first (and a vet bill because of using the cheap stuff won't help).

No, I would absolutely not use an over the counter flea remedy. They have been
known to be toxic and it's not worth taking a chance. If you can't afford
Advantage, then you could try some natural ways. Check this site out for more

Aside from the health issues which i know nothing about, i've also learnt
from experience that over the counter 'cheap' treatments are, in a word,
rubbish.

Nothing compares to frontline for us - our boys were riddled with fleas when
they arrived and once frontlined they sat on a chair and we watched the
fleas drop off.
