I just discovered my cats have fleas. I found the flea dirt on a chair they sleep on but I haven't seen an actual flea. I have a 10 week old so I don't want to use the topical stuff. What did you think? Did it work for you?

The topical stuff sets in really quickly. Unless you or LO are rubbing on your cat, I would use the real meds and just avoid touching him. I always apply before bed. But my cats don't freak if im not petting them all the time. Fleas are nasty!

@blackbird: I've always used the topical stuff before, but my cats lay all over everything in the house, so I'm worried about them getting it on the couch and stuff. I hate the idea of either type of medicine though.

We use Comfortis and it is great. I always had issues with the topical, you have to put it on just right. Comfortis works really quickly and really well.

@AprilFool: Yes! I agree. It always drips down their back and they try to lick at it. It makes me nervous to give something orally, but I guess the topical stuff soaks into their skin just the same.

@MrsHansen82: We've been using it for probably 3 years with no issues. I just crush it up and mix it into his dinner. It makes me feel better knowing he is taking it and we don't have to worry.

We use it as well and it's been really helpful. My vet said that the topical stuff isn't very effective.
