I used to hold flea clinics when we had several cats. If you pick them
up by the scruff of the neck like a mother cat they are immobilized and
you can spray them down. Their eyes aren't immobilized and they are
promising to kill you when you put them down.

Ahh... didn't know that! Did they ever kill anyone when you put them
down?

No, they went on about their business.

In my experience, cats never forget, so doing something like that can
erase trust quickly and it takes a long time to rebuild, sometimes
longer than a life time.

I currently feed two. One has been coming around for a couple of years and
the other showed up this summer. In both cases it took a long time before
I could get close enough to pet them. Neither like sudden moves nor will
they come into the house. The older one did come in once to look around
but the other won't cross the threshold.

I've no ideas what their histories are but I don't think they were good.
