Is bob Martin flea treatment for cats good? Because I applied it on my cat before reading the reviews and the reviews were horrible and I tried washing it off my cat with water but it still stinks

No, I think it's terrible and I don't recommend it. Give Princess a bath with warm water and cat shampoo to get the rest of it off. Wait at least two weeks before applying another flea treatment, I recommend Revolution or Advantage.
