For my inside cats, this does not work as well as the other commonly available OTC flea treatment for cats. They do tolerate it better though. They definitely hate the other brand for some reason, but when it gets bad, I end up having to use it anyway. This formula does work and seems to be milder, but a few fleas always seem to be able to resist it. It does kill the vast majority though. Where I found the best use for this is kittens. I hate using the other stuff unless I have to on my older cats. No way will I use it on kittens. I lost one kitten to flea anemia before I realized how bad the issue was. I really didn't know fleas could kill a cat. Apparently kittens and older or sick cats are at the greatest risk. The fleas can suck enough blood to kill them. I learned the hard way. Because of my ignorance, I lost the sweetest kitten I had. After that I used this on the others and fed them some chicken livers daily for about a month or so. This killed 99% of the fleas and I was able to get it under control and save the rest. A good dawn bath and flea combing will get rid of the fleas on them if you do it right. After they dry off good, give it 24 hours for the skin to get some oil back, use this. You should be good for about a month. One month later, no sooner, you can reapply this if needed. I recommend this for kittens under 6 months and not anything else. I know the other stuff I use is too strong. Dawn baths also work, but you have to do it good, start at the neck and go down. Use a flea comb and take your time. Unless they are moved from their current environment or the area is treated, they will get fleas again. You need this to kill 99% of them to prevent flea anemia. The best thing to do is move them to an area where there aren't any fleas if you can. Bathe and treat them first though, to prevent any unwanted guests tagging along! I take care of 30 abandoned cats and gave never had any issues using this. I have had issues with the other leading brand, nothing life threatening, just discomfort and drooling. This is your safest and best bet for vulnerable cats like kittens, seniors and ill ones. Review: Works great, no irritation. - Works great on fleas, and my cats never have ticks. Consistency is necessary to keep them pest free. The smell is minor and no skin irritation. Good product. ## Features - EFFECTIVE FLEA AND TICK PREVENTION FOR CATS — Kills fleas, ticks, flea eggs, and larvae for a full 30 days, ensuring your cat is shielded year-round.
