Methods for treating external parasites in Garfield cats:
1. If using drops, first part the fur on the back of the cat's neck to expose the skin. Apply the drops along a line on the skin, avoiding licking it. Keep the fur parted to allow the medication to slowly seep into the skin. Then, close the fur to cover the application area. After applying the drops, cover the area with fur and put an Elizabethan collar on the cat to prevent it from licking the medication.
2. If using a spray for flea and tick treatment, simply spray it onto the cat's skin, but be careful to avoid the cat's eyes and nose. After using the spray, put an Elizabethan collar on the cat to prevent it from licking the flea and tickling, which could cause poisoning.
3. The disadvantage of sprays is that the protection period is relatively short. If the cat goes outside frequently, it needs to be sprayed again once a week. Spray-type external parasite control has low toxicity and can be used on kittens older than 2 days. 
Garfield cat external parasite treatment precautions:
1. Note that you should not bathe your cat within one day after applying the medication. The medication mainly spreads through the surface of the cat's skin. Cats' pores are not very developed, so the diffusion speed is not very fast. Bathing will easily reduce the effectiveness of the medication.
2. When administering medication, make sure to soothe the cat beforehand. Calm the cat down and avoid administering medication when the cat is agitated and jumping around.
3. Cats should not be dewormed immediately after vaccination; a 5-7 day interval is required. This is because a cat's immunity is lowered immediately after vaccination.
