I'm not good at doing that either Herbert. I used to be, but once they get a whiff of that tube and start struggling - you get more on yourself than them.
I pay $60 for 3 tubes of advocate because Ruffy is so large and heavy - and strong. If you're only paying $8 a tube - that would be cheap if you only had one cat.
Well said! ~ "a whiff of ..."
That's where it all falls apart!
My large 'Sooty', and then 'Gizmo' - both males, give me no trouble at all, but Muffin's a female and flings herself about the moment she catches the scent.
I buy the treatments online at bulk to keep costs to a minimum, and then only apply these tubes when my flea-combing the cats show an excess number of fleas. Combing them for fleas has been very successful over the years for keeping the populations down.
... comb ... comb ... comb ... then check comb against background light ... and if any movement can be seen, then pull the fur-with-flea off the comb with a moist tissue and pop it into a waiting zip-bag with all the others. Works a treat.
