Untreated pets are at risk of flea infestations. For every adult flea you can see, there are many more eggs, larvae and pupae hidden away in your home, waiting to develop, breed and spread. Around 95% of any flea population exists in immature stages in your home - hidden away in your carpets, bedding and upholstery. So, if you discover fleas on your pet, you may need to treat your home too. I’m not sure which product you applied to your cat. You mentioned that you used one for cats under 10 lbs, but there are two products that fit this category: small cats (2 to 5 lbs) and medium cats (5 to 9 lbs). The fleas are killed within 24 hours after applying Advantage Cat. One application of Advantage Cat prevents further flea infestations for 3 to 4 weeks. Advantage Cat is still effective even if your cat is wet, for example after a bath or on a rainy day. One application of Advantage remains effective for up to 4 weeks in pets and up to one week in rabbits. In very rare occasions skin reactions such as hair loss, redness, itching and skin lesions may occur. Agitation and disorientation has also been reported. Excessive salivation and nervous signs such as incoordination, tremors and depression have been reported exceptionally in dogs.

Advantage™ XD for cats contains an exclusive active ingredient called spinetoram. The primary target of action of spinetoram on insects is an activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors [nAChRs].
