Hi Nancy, WOW!!! You do have your hands full!! You got me beat!! I have 2 dogs, 2 ferrets, 3 cats, 1 hamster, 1 fish and 3 hermit crabs!! and 4 human children. I COMPLETELY understand the "school vacation" !!! Yikes!!! LOL!!!! I'm so sorry for the loss if your kitty!! I use the Frontline Spray for all my animals, its alot cheaper then buying all the different tubes for different weight animals and species. But I've been thinking of trying the Revolution because it does more for them. Thanks for the warning on the Advantage!!!! Thats what all the vets I spoke too recommended too, but I chose the Frontline, now I have something to tell THEM and hopefully they will check into it further. Now that my youngest ferret is old enough to treat, I'll still be holding my breath that he does ok with the Frontline! Again, thanks for the heads up! Good luck with that school vacation!! I have one coming up myself!! LOL!!! Darlene & Addie & Booboo [Posted in FML 6284]
