Ok - you might be doing worst though by dewormig so frequently... #1. and #2, there are other reasons to use revolution, like to prevent heartworm disease... #3... it might not guarantee, but it reduces the chances dramatically, like anything in life...Originally Posted by MissKalamata
I understand that. I'm just saying that flea meds won't necessarily prevent the cat from getting tapeworms. They might decrease his chances of getting the tapes, but there's no guarantee. For that reason, I hesitate to put him on a Revolution-type drug. I would rather not medicate the cats unnecessarily, especially when there's no guarantee he will stay free of tapeworms.
I do agree that the cat needs to be dewormed regularly.
In the end, the choice is yours, but IMHO an outside cat should be in protected against fleas first, then dewormed as needed. You are really doing the process backwards.
