I use the dog size too.
It takes about 6 tubes to treat all on cats.

Hi Susan
Thanks, we have been terribly dry this summer maybe that is why the fleas
took so long to show up. He sleeps on the floor or on Eric's bed. I had to
change the bed linens this morning as Eric is sick. I already treated all the
cats except for Daisy she is too squirmy to get a hold of. I was even able to
get some Advantage on my semi-feral girl. She only comes in to eat.
I buy the 50 pound dog sized Advantage which will treat about 4 cats maybe 5.
With 11 cats now it is the only way I can afford the stuff. I always have some
around and yes, I will probably have to treat them for the next few months.
I usually know when I have fleas because of Spike, she is allergic and
starts getting scabs from the bites. She is the reason I knew the fleas were
showing up. She was treated first. Oh yes and fleas love me as well.

Sally,
Don't feel bad, fleas are particulairly devilish this year due to the rains.
I would give Junoir a flea treatment, either Advantage or Frontline ( not
revolution, doesn't seem to help much for fleas in my opinion).
Once he is treated, the fleas should begin to die due to biting him.
Probably should treat allof the kitties, tho.
Maybe 3 months in a row.........
Wash his bedding, that's where most of the eggs are hanging out probably.

Ok folk
I shouldn't panic but I found a few fleas on Junior. I combed out what I
could. It was only 4 fleas and only a little flea dirt. However his vet last
year told me it only takes one flea to cause Haemobartonella. Now that was a
year ago b4 his Felv dx. He was not tested for Haemobartonella, but was put on
antibiotics. I really think the anemia was from the FeLV infection stage. He
was only treated with Baytril for a week, maybe it was two weeks. He has not
had anemia since. Junior is pretty much on his own but occasionally Silver goes
into his room. I am guessing that is where the flea(s) came from. I had not had
fleas on my cats all summer, and yes I check them with a flea comb. This past
week, I started seeing a few so, I have been treating that cats with Advantage.
Junior just got this as well.
I hope Junior will be ok. He is doing so well. Unfortunately I cannot
spray or vacuum Erics room. He is in there 95% of the time due to COPD and
possible polymyositis. His msucle biopsy shoud come back this week. That is
where Junior stays.
