You think you\u2019re in control, they\u2019re purring in your lap, everything\u2019s cute\u2026 and then suddenly they\u2019re scratching like crazy or rolling around like something\u2019s crawling on them. Fleas, ticks, worms, mites\u2014you name it. And there you are, wondering if you missed a vet visit, or if your indoor cat actually sneaks outside when you\u2019re not looking (spoiler: they do).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s precisely why so many pet parents now choose Revolution Plus for Cats. Once a month, you can cover a lot of parasites in one small tube without having to worry about schedules, juggling pills, or concealing tablets in food. It takes care of ear mites, heartworms, fleas, ticks, and roundworms and hookworms. To be honest, for busy cat parents, it feels like a tiny miracle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>What is Revolution Plus?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.budgetpetworld.com\/flea-and-tick\/revolution-plus-for-cats\/p410.aspx\">Revolution Plus for Cats<\/a><\/strong> is a topical broad-spectrum treatment that you apply to the back of your cat\u2019s neck (between the shoulder blades), and that\u2019s pretty much it. No multiple doses, no fights over hiding pills in tuna. A single dose of Revolution Plus protects cats against a range of internal and external parasites, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Fleas<\/li><li>Ticks<\/li><li>Heartworms<\/li><li>Roundworms<\/li><li>Hookworms<\/li><li>Ear mites<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to note that Revolution Plus does not directly kill adult tapeworms, but it helps in preventing them as a result of directly killing fleas. Though if your cat is actively infested with tapeworms, you should speak to your vet and put them on the respective prescribed treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>How Does It Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Revolution Plus contains two active ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Selamectin <\/strong>\u2013 Treats and prevents fleas, ear mites, ticks, roundworms, hookworms, and heartworms.<\/li><li><strong>Sarolaner <\/strong>&#8211; Kills several species of ticks, including black-legged ticks, American dog ticks, Gulf Coast ticks, Lone Star ticks, ticks and mites like ear mites before they even settle.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your cat will be protected for approximately a month after you apply it once and it absorbs through the skin. No more flea bites. Latch ticks? No longer there. Worms? No longer there. Indeed, most cats give you a funny look when you use it\u2014sniff, pause, suspicious glare\u2014but they usually move on quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>Dosage and How to Apply?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dosage depends on weight, because cats aren\u2019t all the same size. Here\u2019s a quick cheat sheet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/budgetpetworld.thepethost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BPW-Table-Revolution-Plus-For-Cats-Aug25.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"217\" src=\"https:\/\/budgetpetworld.thepethost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BPW-Table-Revolution-Plus-For-Cats-Aug25.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4519\" srcset=\"http:\/\/budgetpetworld.thepethost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BPW-Table-Revolution-Plus-For-Cats-Aug25.jpg 750w, http:\/\/budgetpetworld.thepethost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BPW-Table-Revolution-Plus-For-Cats-Aug25-300x87.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>How to apply?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Part the fur at the base of the neck (between the shoulder blades).<\/li><li>Squeeze the tube directly on the skin.<\/li><li>Avoid touching the area until it dries.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Long-haired cats? You might need to push a little hair aside to reach the skin. Most cats tolerate it fine, though expect the occasional suspicious stare or sniff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>Probable Side Effects<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most cats handle Revolution Plus well. Some minor things you might notice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Temporary greasiness or hair loss at the application site<\/li><li>Mild itching or scratching<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are very rare and usually subside and completely vanish in some time. If you see this not happening, call your vet immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>Revolution vs. Revolution Plus: What\u2019s Really Different?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pet parents often get confused by the names. <em>Revolution<\/em> and <em>Revolution Plus<\/em> Because they sound almost the same right? So, what\u2019s the catch? Well, it\u2019s the ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only active component in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.budgetpetworld.com\/flea-and-tick\/revolution-for-cats\/p56.aspx\">Revolution (original)<\/a><\/strong> is selamectin. Fleas, ear mites, roundworms, hookworms, and heartworm disease are all covered by this. Since it provides multiple protections in a single monthly tube, it has been a favorite for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Revolution Plus for Cats takes that same foundation and adds a second ingredient: sarolaner. That extra layer makes a big difference because sarolaner is designed to deal with ticks\u2014specifically the black-legged\/deer tick, the American dog tick, Lone star and the Gulf Coast tick. In other words, the \u201cPlus\u201d really is about extra tick coverage, on top of everything the original formula already handled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.budgetpetworld.com\/blog\/revolution-vs-revolution-plus-which-one-to-choose-for-your-feline-friend\/\"><strong>Revolution vs. Revolution Plus \u2013 Which One to Choose for Your Feline Friend?<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: What does Revolution Plus do for cats?<\/strong><br>A: Revolution Plus protects your cats against fleas, ticks, heartworm disease, ear mites, and intestinal worms.
