British Advantage is the same as US Advantage, but it is packaged in kilos instead of pounds. It is made in the same Bayer factory. It is legal for an individual to purchase it, but it cannot be resold in the US.
We have 2 cats, one which has the fleas. We have nothing but a rug in our living room and hard wood flooring throughout the rest of the house. The fleas are overrunning our household. I do not believe we can afford an exterminator, so I want to do it myself. They are in every room of the house, even the bathrooms and bedrooms. How can I get rid of them for good? They are biting all of us and I can't stand it anymore. I have treated the cats and cleaned the house well, but the house still has fleas and so does the cat. *sigh*
Thanks.

Cat litter furniture is one of the best solutions for homes that don't have a good place to put a cat litter box. A cat can be a wonderful pet and to many are a part of the family, but the litter box is a serious problem for any cat owner. With cat litter box furniture your cats litter box can be stored out of sight and help to reduce odor.
In many homes and especially apartments there really isn't any good out of the way place to put a litter box. If you don't have a garage, basement or other out of the way room, the liter box may have to go right in your living space. Not only is this unsightly and in the way for you, it can also give a poor image to others of your home when they walk in and see a dirty litter box.
Cat litter furniture is functional furniture that can be used for traditional furniture but also has the added benefit of concealing your litter box out of sight. Cat litter box furniture comes in many different designs and styles that can fit into any decor and at first glance is just a normal piece of furniture. From the outside, the only real distinguishing feature of being for cat litter is the small opening on the outside that the cat uses to go in and out.
The openings can be left open or can be fitted with a cat door. The cat door will help keep odors inside and with cat odor absorbing materials, cat litter furniture can help reduce odors dramatically.
A cat litter cabinet is one of the most common types of cat litter furniture. The cabinet usually has doors on the front that looks like just any ordinary cabinet. The doors provide easy access for maintaining the litter box and the cat entrance is usually on the back or the side of the cabinet.
Another advantage to cat litter furniture is the cats will exit in one spot where you can place a cat litter mat. This helps keep it from tracking litter onto your floor since it is forced to walk on the mat, unlike open boxes where the cat can exit anywhere and step around it.
If you don't have a good out of the way place for your cats litter, try cat litter furniture and combine your cats litter box with a functional piece of furniture.

I'm trying to find the cheapest Advantage for my kitties and ebay has advertised a wholesale amount of advantage that you measure out and administer your self. The ad says it is for cats but the picture that is listed says its for dogs.
I'm wondering if the chemical composition or concentration of Advantage for cats compared to Advantage for dogs is any different?
