BTW, I found a great flea treatment for cats called "Revolution". It is very harmless, in fact during testing of the drug cats that ate the entire dosage had no side effects at all. It simultaneously takes care of heartworm, fleas, ear mites, roundworms and hookworms.

I order mine through the internet...found a place in Australia (Pet Shed) that sells a 12 pack for around $120, which is around 1/4 what you would pay at your vet. Can't purchase it over the counter yet.
