Amazon.com Product Description
Designed for cats and kittens eight weeks or older, this easy-to-apply flea treatment provides long-lasting, effective control against fleas, ticks, and chewing lice. The fast-acting remedy kills 98 to 100 percent of adult fleas within 24 hours, before they lay eggs. Its active ingredient fipronil (kills newly acquired adult fleas) has been combined with the trusted insect growth regulator (S)-methoprene, which kills flea eggs, larvae, and prevents pupae development. Fipronil collects in the oils of the skin and hair follicles, and continues to be released from hair follicles onto the skin and coat, resulting in long-lasting activity against fleas and all stages of four major ticks, including the one that may carry Lyme disease. Research demonstrates that a monthly treatment kills adult fleas, flea eggs, and flea larvae (preventing development of all flea stages) for up to six weeks and kills ticks for at least one month. Easy to use, simply apply contents of the applicator through the animal's fur to the skin level between the shoulder blades. Achieve maximum protection with monthly applications, all year round, but be sure not to apply twice within 30 days. Each packet includes 12 topical applications for 12 months of protection.

The best defense/a good offense against fleas
In my household of several cats, many of whom enjoy going outdoors (and bringing occasional things inside, including fleas), we need something to keep the pests (the fleas, not the cats) under control. Frontline is one of the better products available for this purpose.

I've tried other solutions - flea collars, products from other sources, and have only found one other item that matches the Frontline effectiveness for eliminating fleas. Within a day of the first use, the cats had stopped scratching and licking incessantly at their fleas. One of my cats is particularly allergic to fleas, and breaks out with sores at the flea bites - for him, Frontline is nothing short of a miracle.

I have known cats to have serious reactions to the flea drops from some companies. My cats have had absolutely no bad reactions to the Frontline applications.

This is a product I will definitely buy again. My cats give this a big 16 paw salute (four cats, four paws each, you get the drift).

Frontline Plus will keep critters off your beloved pet.
Frontline Plus for cats is not a cheap product, but it is very effective for keeping ticks and fleas off of your cat, and the best I've seen on the market. Your cat will thank you! As for price, Amazon offered a great deal, particularly if you buy in quantity--which is okay since the stuff has a long shelf life. You just want to be careful to apply the product to the skin on the back of your cat's neck, out of his/her reach. You also want to be careful to avoid touching the product. The applicator is easy to use. They give you handy stickers to keep track on your calendar of when to use the product again. If your cat has trouble sitting still during the application, it's a good idea to work with a partner so that one of you can hold the cat gently and the other can apply the product.

Frontline Plus for Cats
I have been using this product on my 3 cats for 2 years now, and have never seen a flea or the flea poop in their bedding. I use it all year round, even in winter since it only takes 1 pregnant flea to get a foothold in the house. Great for indoor/outdoor cats.

Since not all cats are the same, I would be hesitant to begin using on a sick or elderly cat.
