My mother prefers a more "natural" method for ridding cats of fleas -
try using Brewer's Yeast!  She mixes about a tablespoon full with her
cat's wet food each morning, and he has never had a flea.  She also
looked after a neighbor's cat for several months while the neighbor was
away, and completely ridded her cat of fleas.  I remember looking at the
bottle once, and it seems that there are lots of vitamins added, so it's
good for the cat in other ways as well.
