What's the best spot to apply Advantage to my cat to avoid licking?

Question

DR. MELANIE: Hi! I'm not sure if you're still available but if you are : ) : I need to put and avantage on my kitty but haven't figured out what I need to do to prevent it from traveling where she can reach it and lick it . My friend said to really rub it In with up and down strokes but I tried that . She will for sure lick if it happens so any suggestions on how to apply it or a different location other than at the base of the skull and in between shoulder blades ? Thank you :). Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 9 years and 4 months old | 9 lbs

Hi! I'm still here! Sometimes it may take me some time to see a question, especially if I haven't been on in a bit. So the best place to put the Advantage is on the back of Kitty's head. It won't travel down far enough for her to lick it. Do not rub it in, the medication will come off on your fingers and she won't get the full dose needed to protect her. I wouldn't do any other location than the back of the head, as she will be able to lick it off between her shoulder blades and her back for example. I hope this helps!
