What happens if a cat eats body wash?

Regular body wash is usually non-toxic, so a small amount licked by a cat will not poison it, but the wash forms gas in the stomach and may cause vomiting or drooling; if vomiting is severe, take the cat to a vet. If the cat ate a medicated bath product, it can be poisoned and needs prompt vet care for induced vomiting and gut-mucosa protection. After bathing, dry the cat’s coat thoroughly to avoid chills that lead to respiratory or digestive problems.
