Trauma-free flea protection

Putting a flea repellent like Frontline on Midnight is usually pretty traumatic and he usually ends up hiding under the bed. Today I discovered an easy no-fuss way to do it. I give him a bowl of food and while he’s eating, I put it on him. He doesn’t even seem to notice and never lifts his head from the bowl. That doesn’t work for Cody, unfortunately, but he usually lets me do it without too much trouble.
