1-38783231 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that her two cats were exposed to an insecticidal spray containing the active ingredients tetrachlorvinphos and methoprene. The pet owner applied the spray to her 15-year-old, 9 pound, female cat (Subform III #1) nineteen days prior to initial contact with the registrant and ten days later at about 8:30pm the cat jumped on a counter, fell backwards on to the floor, started seizing and foaming at the mouth and she stopped breathing. The reporter placed the cat in her kennel and at 11:45pm the reporter found the cat dead in the kennel. No veterinary care was sought. The reporter also indicated that she sprayed her 10.5 year old, 14 pound, female cat (Subform III #2) with the product 11 days prior to initial contact with the registrant and the cat stopped eating and did not have a bowel movement for one week. One night prior to initial contact the cat jumped up on the reporters bed and fell on her face. She seized one time, defecated and vomited. The reporter placed the cat in a shoebox where it passed away sometime during the night. The reporter did not seek veterinary care. A necropsy could help determine an underlying cause for death but both cats had already been buried at the time of the initial call. No additional information is available.
