For a cat weighing between 8 to 12 pounds, it’s typically safe to administer one tablet of Drontal for cats, which is specially formulated to treat cats in this weight range. However, always check the instructions provided on the packaging or with your veterinarian to ensure accuracy. Administer the tablet with your cat's food to ease the process and ensure they consume the full dose.
