This is an EMERGENCY!!! Pine sol is extremely toxic and you need to rush your cat into the vet...I would not make an appointment. I would load your cat into the car immediately. Do not wait. If you can't reach your vet, go to any vet that is nearby.

ACCEPTED

Most vets are humanitarians and would have treated the cat first and worried about money later. I am so sorry you lost your cat, but with pets-in the future, think of them as infants-if your baby drank pinesol, would you take him to the doctor? In a situation such as this, call poison control, and get them treatment immediately.

I truly did not mean to come across to you as condescending, and I am very very sorry about your loss. I am asking our admins to refund your $8 since you are unhappy with my answer. You are not required to accept any answers that you are not totally satisfied with.
