**When applying a topical solution on a cat or kitten it should be applied, in entirety, high on the neck. Be sure to place the applicator tip under the fur and on the skin, then empty the tube in the same spot. Keeping the content high on the neck makes it difficult for the cat or kitten to lick it off.
