These fly traps are toxic to cats, get your cat to the nearest vet or emergency vet RIGHT THIS MINUTE so they can apply proper cleansers to remove this from the fur and skin. Do not wait, get kitty to a vet RIGHT NOW. Kitty must not ingest this stuff by licking and grooming!!

And, Indoors ONLY!

But does it say keep away from pets and children? Do not trust omittance of toxins, call/get to your vet, ER vet RIGHT NOW, why would you want to take chances!! You probably will never get this off kitty's fur and skin on your own, and you do NOT want to risk him ingesting this!! Vet NOW please!

I don't know what it says, and there is NO time to be discussing the active ingredient, one should always ASSUME that these things are toxic to pets.

Please stop wasting time on the net, call your vet and tell them exactly what the product is, they may advise you to bring kitty in immediately. You cannot take chances kitty could ingest this trying to get it off his fur and skin, do you understand that?

Three times now, get kitty to a vet NOW.
