Most topical products contain a "bittering" agent to make the liquid taste bitter and prevent it from being ingested. The problem with this is that the kittens may drool and foam at the mouth if they lick the product off each other. Revolution dries quickly and should be dry within 2 hours, so it may be safest to separate the kittens for 2 hours just to prevent any potential problems. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your question. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
