hi i was wondering which advantage i should get? i have 3 cats my two males weigh a little over 9lbs and female weighs between 6-7lbs

I'd buy the 5-9 for the female and the 9 + for your males if you can afford to buy 2 , other wise do the 5-9 for all.

If you are wanting to buy only one pk I'd go with the Under 9 lbs but that might leave your male cats not as well protected. I'd find the cheapest price and go ahead and get both the Under and Over. That way your cats will get the amount they are suppose to. Never over medicate.

The large cat advantage for the over 9lber boys, and the small cat advantage for the little girl. However, advantage doesn't work as well as it once did, now that it's advantage II. My cat is completely indoors, but of course, I bring in a flea or two. They multiply on him, and after one dose, I find I'm giving him another dose a week later. I hope you have better luck than I did. :o)

I have four outdoor female cats about 9+ lbs. each so I use the (purple) Advantage II for cats over 9 lbs. Then I have one indoor female cat about 8 lbs. which I use the (orange) Advantage II for small cats weighing 5 to 9 lbs. If your cats are outdoors, I'd definitely use the over 9 lbs. type for the two male cats and a 5-9 lbs. for your female kitty. Without any Advantage, my cats end up bringing ticks and fleas in. Advantage is the only treatment that I've found that is effective enough to keep them out and off my girls.

I haven't yet, and one of my cats is 12lbs. My friend has one as well, and her two kitties are even larger than mine. She hasn't had any issues either.

It could be for awhile but normally not a problem, my 2-Cats are about 3-5 yrs old and 15lbs and they seem to have no problem at all. They seem to be a little messier (probably their size) but I am very happy with this product and they use it very well... very easy to maintain!

None of my cats are very big, maybe 9-10 lbs for my male cat. Theres enough room for him to turn around in it, but that's about it. I have these just in case theres an emergency situation where all my cats have to be moved at the same time

My cats are 17 and 14 yrs old and I think the cats only do what THEY want to do, I have to play with them so they get their exercise. One is "obese" and she has lost weight and still is by playing with them using the "CatDancer" (purchased from Amazon). Of all the toys I have ever purchased it is the least expensive but the most effective. They never get tired of playing with it. They also like the Plush mice that can be filled with catnip, they seem to like toys that they can carry in their mouth. I purchased expensive mechanical type toys which interested them only on the first day. I liked them, but apparently the cats don't!

My cat is 15 lbs and a big guy and my female cat is 13 lbs. Both my cats fit through this no problem. The only issue I see is how far from the bottom of the door that you install this, since the Dachshunds have short legs, I'm sure they could get through no problem but it may be awkward for them at first.

I have a dog one and a cat one for my pets (1 of each animal) - if the cat one is not large enough for him I would try a dog one in the appropriate size - the large cat one says it is for more than 13 lbs but I have found they run a little small and a 7 lb difference might mean it would not be big enough

Yes, my cats are all (all 4 of them) between 10-12 pounds and they fit in fine. Mainly they like to lie on top, though. Here's a tip - if you get it, put a towel or something underneath, since it doesn't have a bottom. They'll be more likely to hang out inside. This is a popular hang-out spot in my house.

My cat was 6-7 lbs when we moved. It was a good size for her. But not much more weight than that would be good. It is a good carrier but not the sturdiest if stressed I suspect.

I also do this. The box I just finished is Advantage 100 for dogs over 55lbs. This worked just fine for my four cats ages 6 to 18.

I bought this carrier for my female cat who weighs approx. 10 lbs. Although it is a comfortable fit for her, there is not an abundance of extra room. She can stand briefly, turn around, and sit back down. She did make a three day trip (NY to FL) but she was sedated and therefore did not move around much. In answer to the question, I think - depending upon whether you want your cat to be able to move around - this carrier might prove a bit too small.

Yes, just be sure you are using Advantage II and not the other product that has a similar name. The other product with a similar name that ends in an x cannot be used on cats and might kill them. I can treat up to 6 cats with the Advantage II over 55 lb. dog application. Just be careful how you break it down. The general rule I use is .10 ml per pound of cat. So if you have a cat that weighs over 9 lbs, use about .90 ml, but don't go over 1.0 ml. Another example is if the cat is only about 4 lbs., I use .40 ml.

I bought the short hair model, our cats are short hair, probably about 15 lbs. Worked great.

Thats a better question for the mfg. My cats weigh 12 lbs each and there is a lot of room for them. They can turn around, stand up, curl into a ball, they have room to stretch out when laying down. Rom the other people who have larger pets, they say yes

I had the same concern, but I think so. My cat's between 16-18 lbs and glides right on through. Cats are mostly all fur aren't they? Haha.

I would go for the medium for the long term ; my cat weight is about 9lbs. and i use the large. The harness has sliding adjustments and if your cat is still growing a medium for sure. I am happy with mine, get her used to it as soon as possible and enjoy the outdoors.

I had two adult cats (one was 18lbs) in there for about ten months. Fortunately, they got along well. I would not suggest putting more than three regular sized cats in there, and try to get ones that got along well together. Any more than that and you will probably have behavioral issues and the possibility that they would fight and harm one another.
