Hi Fk, I bathed them before i went to the vet and applied the frontline spray.
Just to make sure that they're not smelly when the vet is handling them

Hope you didn't bathe them too soon to ensure the maximum effectiveness of Frontline's protection against the bugs for a longer period of time. According to literature, even though Frontlines says that bathing the cat 2 days after application does not diminish the protection against fleas, the studies showed that it does and reinfection appeared earlier than if the cat had not been shampooed. And according to Frontline, reapplication must not be done in less than 3 weeks because all flea products are poison at the end of the day and have negative effects later on in life.
To be effective, you should not bathe them for at least 2 days after applying the spray (and application of Frontline should only be done 2 days after bathing your cat, not immediately after) so that the medication stays on the fur and offers 1 month of protection where the fleas will be killed on contact with the fur, they do not even have to suck the blood to be killed. Frontline enters the oil glands and is distributed and stays on the fur of the cat, killing fleas on contact.
