I wouldn't give any supplement with garlic to my cats!!!  Or put anything with garlic on their skin, since they groom everywhere.  Small quantities probably won't hurt them, but I'm not going to take a chance. "Onions contain a substance (N-propyl disulphide) which destroys red blood cells in the cat, causing a form of anemia called Heinz body anemia. Garlic contains a similar substance in a lesser amount." (That's from cats.about.com, but you'll find it other places too.)
