What kind of drops did you use?
Hopefully not those over the counter kind.
Never use OTC flea drops or flea collars on a cat.
According to my Vet those two things kill 100's of cats a year.
Take the cat to the Vet and get a flea treatment.
If it was a Vet treatment that you used.
Try Dawn dish washing liquid...the blue kind.
Get a fine tooth comb, two bowls of warm water with the dishing liquid in it and some paper towel.
Dip the comb in one bowl of water and then comb the cat...make sure to clean the comb in the other bowl of water between passes through the cat....the fleas will drowned in the water...wipe the comb with the paper towel and start all over again.
Then you'll need to vacuum very well and wash all the cats bedding...throw the vacuum bag away when you're done sweeping.
Good luck

Fleas are a major pest. There are various species of fleas - cat fleas, dog fleas, rat fleas and rabbit fleas.
You can get rid of them by the safest and cheapest methods like boric acid.

Which type of drops did you use? The cheaper over-the-counter flea drops will cause reactions. If you didnt use frontline or advantage, try those. Its worth the extra money.

First what kind, Front-line, Advantage, etc...? I'd get a flea collar to help some. It's age has a lot to do also. Were the drops age appropriate? Need more info to answer with best details.

Isnt that weird? My cat also had a reaction to flea treatment called Stronghold. All his fur came out and he was red raw and oozying. I took him to vet and they changed it to Frontline - hopefully this works.

My cat had a reaction to some kind of spot on treatment and pulled all her fur out where the stuff had gone on behind her neck. I took her to the vet and they gave me a sensitive version to use - she was fine with that one. Good luck - poor moggy!

I would check with your vet. My old cat had an allergy to most of the recommended items and in the end we had to shower her well with a natural oil soloution of anti allergy shampoo, oil of lavender and camomille. Smelly, she hated it, and I was scratched to .... But it stopped the little blighters from invading for a month or two depending on the time of year.
