The cheap flee collars do not work, and if the cat was even semi-feral good luck getting any collar on it. Tropical is usually best, but stuff that works is also not cheap.

I often find going to the tropics solves most of my problems!

In all seriousness, I totally agree that topical is the way to go.

Lol I'm leaving it, it's to damn funny

Why would you want to damn funny? Seems like a path to a joyless existence, friend. Be the change you want to see...

Flee collars just make them run away.

What does work are anti flea drops you put on their neck, where they can’t reach. Lasts a month or so and kills fleas and ticks. My mum’s cats are outside a lot and they never have fleas or ticks, when my mum doesn’t forget putting the frontline drops on.

Yeah that's what they referred to as "tropical," a misspelling of "topical." But as they say, it isn't cheap for the good stuff. Frontline doesn't even work in my area, gotta be advantage II or revolution.
