Off-label Use (unauthorised species). Cat developed typical signs of intoxication after contact with permethrin. However, even though permethrin is toxic for cats and may have a fatal outcome, generally cats have a good chance to recover if adequate treatment is applied in time. Considering consistent time to onset, a product connection is deemed to be probable.
