Both of my cats are indoor cats but I ride horses on a friends farm so I bring home fleas from the horses occasionally, I treat my cats with Frontline for this reason.
My problem is that I have only started using the Frontline 2 months ago and my one cat could really care less about whether or not I apply it to him but the other cat...well let's just say he freaks out a little bit. We have to hold him down and he is very strong so he puts up a big fight and then usually he gets away and we have to chase him and as you can imagine this can go on all night.
After we finally get the frontline on him he is so upset that he won't come near us for days, which is horrible and unusual because he is an extremely affectionate cat. And then once he finally gets over this, about a week later, he lets us get close but every now and then we'll be petting him and he just flips out for no reason.
So by the time he is completely calmed down..weeks later. It's time to apply more Frontline and history will repeat itself.
Is there an easier way to do this? I hate to torture my baby and I'm sick of him being mad at me.
Frontline time is coming up in a couple of days and my husband and I are dreading it immensly.
I would appreciate any ideas!
Thanks!
