Hello,
Many cats are sensitive to over the counter flea products - even those labeled for cats. I NEVER recommend anything that the active ingredient starts with a P for cats. I have treated many many cats - and every one has gone on to do just fin. I'd recommend bathing her immediately with soap and water (I know - its a cat and they hate it). This can progress to tremors and ocasionally seizures. Not to scare you - if she is not rapidly improving after a bath. Please take her to your local clinic for treatment. Frontline is safe and good for cats!
