I am really freaking out. My precious angel cat, Cosmo, somehow managed to get on a high shelf, hanging in the middle of a wall with nothing whatsoever surrounding it. He knocked over my oil burner, soaking his paws in the oil. Being the perfect little meticulous being that he is, he tried cleaning it off. When I noticed it had happened, he was licking away at the stuff. I immediately bathed him with dish soap, and called my sister, the vet.
She was able to come over tonight, and look at him. He started making funny breathing noises like he was hacking up a fur ball, and it was scaring me. She said it was too late to induce vomiting. She gave him something in a shot, and some pain medicine, and said he might make it, but he might not. I am crying as I am writing this because that cat is my baby.
He doesn't have any other symptoms, as of yet. We checked his mouth for chemical burns, but he's clear. He ate about a half a can of cat food earlier, which is about usual for him, and he's even lapped a little milk. Other than that, he's pooping, walking, grooming, and still trying to forgive me for the bath. I have a few very deep scratches on my arms, but I don't mind. He only scratched me by trying to get out of the evil waters, and not out of aggression, as he is the sweetest, gentlest boy you'd ever meet.
The wheezing is terrifying, and I don't know I won't sleep until he gets better! I've already called out of work tomorrow, and my sister is stopping back by at noon to check on him.
I did not know that my incense oils were toxic to cats. Had I known, I would never have had them in my house. I kept them where I did to keep them away from little children hands, and clumsy kitty paws. I have no idea how he managed to get up there. He's not usually the one of my pair to do such things. He's totally chill.
Anyway, it's twenty after 3am here, and my daughter and I are snuggling with our angel cat, and keeping close watch over him. He really is a member of our family, and we can't even bear the thought of him passing. I feel so guilty that my ignorance has poisoned him, and I can't even fathom forgiving myself. Right now I'm just sick to my stomach, worried beyond belief, and hopeful that our beautiful boy can pull through this.
