When my wife and I went through TNR classes we were given a goody bag.
This included flea drops "GENTLE TOUCH" by Farnam.
We tried it on several of our CREW. All but 1 ended up with a BRIGHT RED streak down their backs and started to lose hair. Timmy was the most effected and haS a bald spot about 9 inches long and 4 inches wide.
The other thing is it DID NOT seem to have any effect on the fleas.
I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT AND I WOULD SUGGEST THAT PEOPLE DON’T USE IT.

Thanks for the warning. Any way of contacting the company to let them know about the side effects with your cats. That's the first thing I'd do.

It's all most the same reaction as Sergeat's

Stay away from anything with "pyrethrin" or "pyrethroids" as the active ingredient. These are toxic to cats!
