Revolution for Cats

I know from previous posts that there are many cat owners on CC. My vet has recommended that my one-year-old cat stay on Revolution year-round to prevent a possible pest infestation. She says that even though he rarely goes outside, he should be prophylactically treated because parasites can enter the home via dirty shoes or other means. I find this hard to believe - we don’t wear shoes in the house, I wash my floors weekly and he never has contact with any other animals. I really can’t imagine how he would contract an infestation, especially in the winter in New England. Revolution is basically a pesticide and I worry that I’m doing more harm than good by giving it to him, perhaps unnecessarily. Is it something that I can only give him during the summer months? Does anyone else administer this type of medication to their cat?
