To front line or not?

Hi,
We have two indoor cats 7 months old, we live on a second floor flat with no outside space, so cats have never been out,
Do I still need to use the Advocate treatment or is it not necessary?
TIA

Yes, all cats should be flea treated, wormed, neutered and vaccinated. Fleas and worms can come in on your shoes and clothes, especially if you have contact with another animal or with someone who has an animal. It's best to be safe than sorry as flea infestations are horrid business.

I would but probably not so frequently

I would in case you bring fleas in on you. I would also use Advantage, not Frontline, as my vet recommended it and said fleas are becoming resistant to Frontline. Advantage goes on the back of their neck just the same.

Yep I would too. You never know what you could bring in when you come in from outside

I wouldn't bother.
