Not allowing touch is normal from pain; take it to the vet at once, as severe eye or internal injury can be life-threatening.

Hold the cat by the hind legs with its head lowered for a few seconds to help expel water - do not shake the body to avoid injury. After draining, dry the fur and keep it warm to restore normal temperature; if other symptoms appear, take it to a vet for emergency care.
