Talc is hydrated magnesium silicate, and it does not present a problem. Particularly since there is so little in the tablets.

Is talc powder harmful to a cat?

Talcum powder is not overtly harmful to dogs, but remember that our four-legged friends need a bit of oil in their coats to keep them healthy. The oils are developed naturally, and are somewhat dependent of the animal's diet. Talc, talcum powder, might dry a dog's coat out a bit by absorbing these oils, so consider the reason for applying it and weigh the consequences. A call to a local vet wouldn't cost anything but a bit of time, and good information can almost certainly be had there.
