"In order to properly apply a flea or a flea and tick product to your cat, that's topical. You've got to get him standing up, so they try all kinds of crazy things like getting their feet on you. Then you part the fur, sort of in a straight line, right at the base of the head, and down onto the neck. So if you get a nice spot where you can actually see skin, then you're going to have a very effective application. OK, so let's part that far. Then you want to open your tube. The different tubes open in different ways. This one just opens with a snap. And then you just apply this medication. Come here, buddy. Apply this medication right to that skin that you've just exposed there. Easy buddy. OK. If you have a little extra you can make a new part. Come on, bud. And get it down onto the skin there. OK. There we go. And that's all there is to applying flea and tick products."
