    Can you get her to a vet in the morning? It's hard to believe she'd lick up Scrubbing Bubbles, since that is toxic and doesn't taste good at all.

    Cats are finicky... Our cat was fine until my motheer in law started hiding her medicne. She has diabetes... Then a month after his check up he got diabetes. Do you think he could have swallowed one of her pills? Sorry to the op

    He wouldn't get diabetes from eating your mil's pill. Diabetes is very common in older cats. And cats like sweet stuff. That's why people shouldn't leave drained antifreeze out in the open in the garage. Dogs and cats and wild animals will slurp it up since it tastes sweet.

    I hope the OP's cat gets through the night okay and can get checked out tomorrow.

    If you think your cat ingested cleaner, then you should do roughly the same thing you'd do for a child. Try to get her to drink water and keep an eye on her until you can get her to a vet.

    You could call poision control and ask them what to do, they may have some suggestions (Drink milk or water, induce vomiting, etc)
