Actually, that's something I'm concerned about... no, I'm not seeing any dead fleas, even after two doses of Revolution... that is one reason why I believe it is not working, for some reason...

Hi!! Thank you for your comments, FeebysOwner !! We switched to Revolution a few years ago on our vet's recommendation, when Advantage II stopped working... he had commented that others of his clients also stated that Advantage II did not seem to be working any more. At that time, which was...

ITM, with regard to my original queston... Has anyone experienced Revolution failing to work for their cats??

Thank you for the warning on this!! I will discard this stuff... In the future, I'll search for "bad reaction" in conjunction with anything new that I consider...

There's another product called Cheristin, which has good user reviews on Amazon, and excellent reviews on various online sites; is anyone familiar with this product?

We have three cats; two are entirely indoor, one goes out in the back yard with us, a few times a year, and comes back in when we do (Fremont, CA). We had gotten lax about flea treatment for awhile, because we went for months without her going out at all (typical in winter, when we don't go out...

Thank you, @stephanietx , that's sort of what I felt, but wanted to get some other feedback as well. He's definitely *not* showing any other signs of anything being wrong, which is why I was hesitant to elevate this to a higher level. He's just a powerful and relentless cat when playing...

So last summer, we fostered four kittens... once we started showing them at the adoption site, the two girls adopted out quickly, but the boys didn't... and in the couple of weeks that we were showing them, we simply fell in love with them, they are so beautiful!!! So we adopted them... Leo is...

Yes, an excellent idea!! I *love* any excuse to take pictures of our babes!! The very fact that I can easily walk out there and take photos of him in his nest, is a sign of how much he loves the spot, because before this, he would always leap up and trot to the door, looking for a lap, whenever...

Hi, everyone!!! Hokay, I need to give everyone here a stupendous LOVE sign !!! This is almost unbelievable... I ended up getting a self-warming blanket... I didn't actually *intend* to, I was actually envisioning one of the plug-in models, but the one that I ended up selecting, based on reading...

Well, this morning he has accepted a lap twice, and both times he has accepted my normal firm scrubs with no complain - in fact, appeared to really like them, as he has in the past. I wonder if something unrelated to health was going on last night? Maybe he was annoyed by the attention that he...

Fortunately, the vet has been checking his teeth carefully each time we bring him in, since he's been an outdoor cat most of his life (the cat, not the vet), and hasn't gotten any care previously. He said his teeth look fine !!

ummm... wow... I just realize now, that I assumed that whoever read *this* thread, would be aware of the previous thread!! That's a pretty dumb assumption, and I'm sorry!! I don't think I'm thinking all that clearly at this time... we love this old man so much, and we *know* that his time with...

We definitely *do* have a vet, and have already spent over $2000 on caring for him (I discussed this in more detail in my previous message about heating pads). We know he has lympho-sarcoma, and has quickly-developing tumors on his skin, which were suppressed initially by the prednisolone, but...

Yeah, I agree with that. I would *much* rather the pain was from a fight injury, rather than from new tumors from the sarcoma that he has... I'll try a very careful, staged approach, the next time he climbs into my lap...

hmmm... normally, that would definitely be a possibility; there is a stump-tail tabby male who's been hanging out in our yard, and they have tussled before. However, I had been out front with him an hour back and he was fine, and when I let him in this time, he came in pretty casually, I don't...

Thank you for all of your comments about a heating pad for our elderly outdoor cat Biggles... Sadly, we have a new issue with him that I'd like to ask for advice about... This has happened a couple of times before, but this is the first time it's been so clear to me. Biggles had been out front...

BTW, I didn't answer @moxiewild 's original question... yes, the pad I was thinking about using *is* a human pad. I had a pretty good sense that this wasn't appropriate, but I was confident that I'd get good guidance here, and I was right!! Thank you all very much!! I have a cat pad with...

Thank you for your comments @moxiewild !! Yes, this old man has been a true gift for us. He was originally owned by a family who rented a house two doors down from us. He was always an outdoor cat, and he adopted our yard because we had sheltered spots in it, while their yard was pretty...

Hi @Jem ; yes, I'm thinking the same thing. Fortunately, the area that he's adopted for his nest in the garage, is large enough to do this... he's basically taken over the area under my workbench, which is abou 5'x4'. I've been expanding it with blankets, towels and such as he moves around...
