Frontline & White Cats

I am sure I have heard somewhere that white cats cannot be treated with
Frontline as it liable to burn their skin. Has anyone else heard this
and if so is it true.

Thanks

Never heard of that before, and I have a couple of mostly-white cats. And
all but one of them is white on the shoulder/neck area that Frontline is
applied - never had any problem with ours (besides them not liking any wet
stuff on them).

Oh that's good then! You never know I might have dreamed it up:-).
I've never used Frontline before...never thought I needed to really,
but BOY do I wish I used it before now. I only saw a couple of fleas on
her the other week and now I've got about 5 hundred thousand house
guests. It's not funny, I tell you!

I've never heard of this. However, I can't use Frontline, or Frontline
Plus, on my black cat - she freaks out completely, for over an hour,
shaking her skin and running to get away from whatever the sensation
she's feeling is.

I use Stronghold now (Revolution in the US), which works well but is a
tad expensive, and prescription.

I never heard that related to color. However, I applied Frontline only once
to Duffy (gray with white markings). He instantly shot straight up in the
air and ran around the room in a a complete panic. He is blind, and that wa
one of the few occasions when he ran headlong into walls furniture. I felt
dreadful and rushed to catch him as soon as I could. It didn't take long to
comfort him, but it was obviously a frightening experience for him. I went
back to Advantage after that (when needed -- which is very seldom because my
two are indoor-only).

I gave my cat frontline the day after she was spayed and dewormed. I
felt read bad because she was obviously weak. She caught fleas at the
vets, it seems. She is white and had no reaction. I think perhaps an
albino cat might be sensitive but I have never read anywhere about
frontline but I have not done a scientific search yet. Call the company
that makes Frontline. Call vets. Someone here suggested Adantage which
surprised me but maybe that's less strong. I thought the opposite but
have not researched it since I have rarely given my cat Frontline
since. No fleas, I don't bother because I am always concerned as you
obviously are.
