Yes, You can poison your cat with flea spray if you over use it or use a product not meant for cats. Some dog flea preventions are toxic if used on cats. I would make sure you are using the product as directed and making sure it is safe for cats. If there is a sensitivity you might see vomiting, diarrhea and skin sensitivity. I hope that helps
