bath him to remove all extra frontline off him if he is twitching it has got into his system, def get to vets so he can be dripped asap
i dont know why this was a bad answer if the animal is showing nervous signs it is obviously affecting the cat. the best way to treat poisons is by flushing out with fluids.
i ve treated a few cases before but not frontline it was bob martins for small dogs used on cats. take it to the vetrs or just rin them

I've heard that Frontline for dogs is different than that formulated for cats, and I'm not sure it's true. I have used the dog Frontline on my cat with no problem. The problem would be the amount used. It's 5ml on a 10 lb cat. They want you to use the individual pre-measured packet at about $15 a dose. I bought in bulk 50ml on line for $30; so go figure. You need a syringe without a needle to measure the dose. You can probably get it at any pharmacy or buy it at a vets. When you buy it in bulk, you can adjust the dosage according to the animals weight. Obviously don't apply twice the dose to last two months. I apply on the first of the month, and use a Yahoo calendar reminder. I got sick from the smell of a Sargent's flea collar; my cat was acting strangely , and that's why I went to Frontline. It's a great product. I did research in pharmacology and I will have to follow up on this a bit more. Frontline for dogs is the same as Frontline for cats to my best knowledge. It's the dosage as to weight. Yes, it's a controversial issue on Answers.

I was told at one time is was ok to use dog frontline on cats, but one tube of dog frontline is enough to treat 8 cats, get your cat in the bath and wash him up! I wouldn't use flea shampoo for cats it may make the overdose worse. Use a drop of 2 of dishsoap on the area you put the frontline. The cat will be wet when you are done, wrap it in a towel and rub the cat vigoursly. It's not that's it's so much poisonous it's an overdose. Good Luck...call your local pet hospital, they are very helpful and can assist you.

dog frontline is too strong for cats, you need to contact a vet and get advice on what to do,, I would have thought though the vet would ned to see the cat.

id say if it was poisonous to cats they wouldnt make it..because i have a cat that sleeps with my dogs so..i dont think i could harm the cat..an animal is an animal hows the medicine going to know what animal its on..im sure its safe for most..try not to worry..the cats twitching cause it can feel something on its skin...thats it im sure

Wash the kitty vigourously (as if you had an acid burn on your body), wrap in a towel and get to a vet ASAP.
And just remember-accidents happen. It's alright.
