On September 28, 2010 the owner found the cat vocalizing, hypersalivating, ataxic, and having a seizure. The owner then bathed the cat with liquid dish washing detergent. The owner then contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS technician relayed the APSS veterinarian's recommendations to take the cat to the veterinarian, have the veterinarian call for information, call the manufacturer with reimbursement questions, and have a diagnostic evaluation done as the cat's signs are inconsistent with the product.

On September 30, 2010 an APSS assistant called the owner to follow up the case. The owner stated that he did take the cat to the veterinarian, but the cat passed away on its own at the veterinary clinic. The owner also stated he had asked the attending veterinary clinic to dispose of the body for them. Later on September 30, 2010 an APSS technician called and left a message for the owner regarding necropsy options.
