Carbamates - see also Insecticides
Keep cats way from areas where these substances are being sprayed, laid down or placed on bait; make sure they do not have access to open containers of insecticides. Keeping fresh drinking water available at all times will prevent the need for cats to find other sources of liquid to drink to quench their thirst. Keep cats’ coats clean and free from any of these compounds, taking care to wash off any detergent used to remove the poison, many cats have been poisoned through licking the detergent/compound used to wash off the original poison. These compounds will have an affect in disrupting the nervous system; they cause an excess of the chemical acetylchlorine to accumulate in the body, which in turn affects the normal transmitting of nerves. As always, emergency veterinary care should be sought if you suspect your cat or cat has been exposed to these substances.
