Hi I took in a huge stray male cat almost 2 years ago. He was hanging around my barn for about 2 years before I befriended him and he adopted me. I've always had inside cats. This one goes out. I'm a worrier (about my animals). I worry as soon as I lose sight of him. Is it possible to...

I found when I clean the litter pan, my two kittens watch and try to stop me. Is there any reason for that, or they just play with me? Thanks!

We have been using Advantage on our cats for years. The cats vary in age from 7 yrs down to 1 yr. All of a sudden this year, the fleas were back on the cats after only 2 weeks. Can fleas get immunity to Advantage? If so, is there a different one that works as well? (Frontline?) redpenner
