We've got a few cats and have decided to treat them
all with Ivermectin. I can't understand completely the
doseage from the website that recommended it. I've
talked to a vet, through one of his helpers but I'm still
afraid of an overdose...

Can someone look at this site and explain it tom me?

I plan to use a syringe to administer the Ivermectin on our
cats neck. Doing the ears seems risky because if hair can
be lost on the neck, the ear seems a lot more vulnerable to
irritation.

Thanks. really.

Did anybody look at this site? Does it seem a little hard to
figure to you too?

Not really - there are several mutually exclusive sets of instructions for
different cases, but once the case is identified, and it has not been
identified here, computation and metering are straight forward ... if you
have the necessary tools and maybe high school chemestry lab experience.

My recommendation is to avoid any process not understood.

I don't know what the treatment is for, but reputable and cat-safe
products are available for most problems, and cheaply by mail, from
Australian vendors.
