Yes, but only for a week or two.  I went through a
six-month period of toxifying my house against fleas
that JUST WOULDN'T DIE just before Program appeared
at my vets (big pine roaches would walk in my front
door and make it no more than 3 feet into my living
room before they'd be upside down on the floor).
Advantage came out a tad later, and after Program
had eliminated the flea repopulation problem...at
that time I was desperately combing fleas off the
three cats and dropping the fleas in soapy water
because the sprays and baths and whatever I could
get my hands on just wasn't doing anything.
But the point here, I think, was that perhaps a
Persian, with their inherent sensitivity to topical
flea elimination chemicals, could tolerate Program.
People living with part or full Persian companions
should at least be aware of the possibilities.  :)
