You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun

I found with one cat that the best place was my Epson scanner / printer.
Of course, that meant I couldn't use it as a scanner or a printer because:
1) You can't raise the lid to scan when the cat is sleeping on it.
2) As soon as it starts to move the paper the cat attacks it, and shredded paper doesn't print well.
and
3) It won't print anymore because it is gummed up with fur, flea droppings, and cat dribble. 
The current one has his own cat bed on a table next to my desk, which he is very happy with, provided it has one of my jumpers in it...

Gawd I wish it was! Trouble is he's a predator, so he gets bird fleas, mouse fleas, squirrel fleas, dog and fox fleas...I suspect he has had a few pterodactyl fleas as well on occasion judging by the size of the buggers.
The cat gets flea-drops-on-the-back-of-the-neck once a month (a couple of days after his worm tablet), he gets groomed with a flea comb once a day, and the house gets sprayed with anti-flea insecticide (RIP Flea) twice a year.
Last summer I still had to hoover my office chair every morning before I say down because I replaced it with a brown leather one which showed all the eggs where he slept on it for an hour or so each night...
I finally abandoned the flea drops from the vet (Frontline Combo) and went to internet bought (Advantage) and not only saved £100 a year but brought the problem down to manageable proportions - a couple a day at most, mostly dead already.

When my cat got fleas, I tried the drops behind the neck, but they did absolutely nothing.
What worked for me was a product that's a moist towelette soaked in insecticide. I wiped her down one or two times, and she was completely free of fleas!

The only reason I don't use that is grooming: my family always used flea powder which is much the same effect and a few of the cats had a bad reaction when they swallowed it. The drops are absorbed by the skin from an area the cat can't groom and continue to poison the blood sucking elephants for a few weeks after application.
But Frontline was as useless as you say - I switched to Advantage after advice from the purveyor of flea combs that it was working this year while the other wasn't.
But...if it works for you!

Picture this: Christmas Day, and I'm running to schedule for getting the dinner done: Turkey in Sous Vide, Potatoes in the fridge, one of the stuffings ready, other in progress, pudding ready to go on to steam, starter not started, loads left to do.
In comes Dij looking very happy with himself. And drops his prey in the kitchen. A mouse. A live mouse. Which (understandably) runs away as fast as it's little legs will carry it...
After an exhaustive search it was located inside one of the wheels of the carpet cleaner and firmly ejected from the house...
Just what I needed, really!

1. Shave 1/2 of cat; it doesn't matter which 1/2
2. Saturate furry parts with kerosene
3. Ignite kerosene
4. As fleas flee across shaved parts to escape flames, stab them with an icepick
Problem solved.

I really wonder why people would like such a selfish and ungrateful animal. Cats are evil.
