On July 23, 2013 the owner noticed that the cat was symptomatic. On July 24, 2013 the owner bathed the cat with a liquid dish washing detergent (LDWD). On July 28, 2013 the owner observed that the cat died. On July 29, 2013 the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help. The APSS veterinarian stated that if the cat licked some of the product from himself or from another cat, short-lasting drooling could be seen due to a bad taste reaction. The APSS veterinarian also stated that the cats signs were not consistent with exposure to the product. The APSS veterinarian recommended that the owner have the cat's body submitted for necropsy by her regular veterinarian.
