Yes, you should wait at least 48 hours after the bath to allow the oils to build back up on the skin. That is how Frontline spreads itself throughout the body, through the oils. Wait 48 hours after you've applied it to give a bath, too, so it can spread itself before you wash it away. One question, does your cat go outside that it needs tick treatment, or are you just using it for fleas?

I would recommend Advantage for fleas, then. If they are indoors, they don't really need the extra tick chemical in their systems. Advantage is cheaper, and it works better. Although, it does say it kills fleas for 3 months, and Advantage is only 1 month, but I still think the tick chemical being out of there is a good idea if you don't really need it.

The only reason I use Frontline is cuz of rescue group gets a discount on it.

I would look into where ever you are getting it to see if you can get a discount of Advantage too!
