    They can die. The fleas suck their blood until they die. Grown cats can handle it but little kittens no. Frontline is the only flea stuff I have found that isn't a waste of money. Vets will tell you that the other brands are harmful to pets. From everything I've seen that is true. Take them to the vet asap.
