    O.K. So I discovered this morning that my kitty Harriat has some how managed to get tape worms. Strange, I thought, She is an indoor cat…and then it hit me! She is a fly chaser, and fly eater, so that problem was solved.

    So I went to her vet and got some topical de-wormer, ya know,that greasy stuff you squirt between their shoulder blades, at the base of the cat’s neck so they can’t lick it ‘n all.

    Well, Harriat CAN lick that spot, and she keeps licking the edge of then walking around gagging. Any body know of a way to get to not lick up the stuff?

      not sure why they say cats can’t reach there, my outside boys who have passed on back when I used to put flea stuff on them, they always were able to get it, my girl got all foamy one time when she got it….and all the vet would tell me is watch for like sleepiness and something else I forget right now but sleepiness in a cat, how would you watch for that? they sleep like 18 hours a day!

      4 things I'm looking for:
      1. Mother Meerkat
      2. production color Sitting Young Oriental dragons to be made in more colors besides VF, Brimstone would be awesome!
      3. Female Griffin – Siamese with White
      4. September Raffle Prize 2022 AHD Male Griffin

      I use the topical flea killer on my cats and I put it further up the neck, at the base of the skull instead of between the shoulder blades. I also have to watch for group grooming; my cats are siblings snd they frequently bathe each other. On flea treatment day I separate the friendly pairs for a couple of hours, until the medicine really spreads out….

        Yes, you need to put it at the base of the skull! I made this mistake once with my cat and she licked the area and went into seizures. She ended up being fine, but I had to wash the area with dawn dish liquid and the vet gave her muscle relaxers to stop the tremors. It should NOT be ingested though so wash the area thoroughly.
