I know, Nina. I'm not good at making these decisions. Why can't they be 2 lb already, grrrr.

Kelley, This is the second time you've mentioned your kitten's flea problem. If your kitten's flea infestation is great, they could be causing more problems than the risks of treating them, (I'm sure you know that kittens can develop anemia from the little blood suckers). I know these guys have serious URI symptoms. You are there, you would know better than me if it's worth it, or not. I just wanted to mention that I have applied the tiniest amount of advantage to healthy kittens as young as 3 weeks old. I put a drop of advantage on the end of a qtip and then apply that to the kitten. The next day, no more fleas. I wouldn't use revolution because of what happened to Kerry's kitty, (as Phaewryn just reminded us).
