That says it's for dogs 89 lbs to 100 something pounds! It
would be dangerous to use that on a cat.

She might measure out the right dosage for her cats - that's what I
do with Advantage. I buy the biggest size (4.0 ml), which is for
the
largest dogs. The amount needed for my cats is 0.8 ml each, so I
get
5 doses for each single tube*. I have my own syringe that's marked
off
at the right spot so I just drip it in there and apply it with the
syringe.

They measure it out in tubes to make it easier to apply it. Also,
that
way you don't have to get the stuff on your skin. I would get it on
my hands while measuring, except I wear latex gloves when doing it.
Only problem with that is that Licky knows what latex gloves mean
and
he's gone!

I always thought the reason they specify "dog" or "cat" on the
labels of flea products was because the formulas are different -
those that are safe for dogs are not necessarily safe for cats, and
vice versa!

True of some formulas but not of others. Compare the ingredients and
ask your vet.
