You know what else gets rid of fleas? All of those products you can get from the vet and pet stores. You know? The ones that have been scientifically proven to safely get rid of and prevent fleas. Why would you do this to your own cat?

Still be careful around that stuff. A lot of flea medication can cause siezures. Oral flea meds are carcinogenic, so handle with care (dogs and cats usually die of old age first though). "Safe" for animals usually means "safe enough not to cause short term harm with assumptions that the animal has 10 years of life left."
