| Bravecto (sp?) is a 3 month flea and tick chew, pretty sure they make a cat one also. |

Location: Texas | That is what I give the dogs but did not know they made one for cats and not sure I can get the cat to eat it. I know when we have had to give a different cat a pill, (not a chewable pill) it was not fun. |

Location: Southeast Louisiana | Advantage Multi. I use it for my dogs and cat. It works really well and keeps them free of intestinal parasites, also. |

| I used Advantage I got from Petco - VERY EXPEN$IVE but man, it worked. You probably need to bomb your house too. My always inside cats got fleas in our basement - no idea how, I bombed and that didn't work, had to have the exterminator come - TWICE - it was a major pain to get rid of them. The Advantage kept them off the cats though - I was impressed! |

Location: South | Yes BraVecto makes a topical for Cats that last 3 months. I used it on my outside cat this year and havn't had any issues. I would also suggest treating your yard and house too. Just for your peace of mind.

Location: Opelousas, LA | Anyone tried the Serresto collars? Even the Bravecto only seems to work for a little while down here. |

| I use Advantage 2 I think. Still said if they have a heavy infestation it might take a couple of applications. Mine was heavy. Seems good now. I get it from my vet |

Location: Somewhere else | I use the soresto collars on my 3 that go in and out and it works great. I've tried most of the others and they didn't hardly touch the fleas and ticks. I'm just having a huge issue with them scratching. They're driving me crazy. |

Location: Slipping down the slope of old age. Boo hoo. | We use Advantage II for our cats. Works great. You probably need to spray your lawn, too. I think you can get sprays that hook to a garden hose -- and at least spray around your home and out into the lawn. Our three cats stay inside mostly, buy are outside several times a day with us - in the landscape, out to the shop and barn. So far - after three years of living here - we have not had a flea problem. |

I don't know if it would work, but it would be funny. Make sure you film it
