I was just in bed about 40 minutes ago and my 6 month old tabby came and jumped onto my bed as usual. My partner started stroking him and said 'he's wet look' and he was. His back right leg, tail and underbelly are wet as if he's been out in the rain. I smelt it and it smells strongly chemical, like paint or turps or petrol kind of smell? We've bathed him and tried to get it off with a gentle shampoo but he does not sit for long. I've dried him off but he's not happy, trying to lick it obviously but I'm concerned it will get ingested or soak into his skin
I've put fresh water out for him but I'm a worried what might happen during the night. There's nothing in the house he could have got to, all chemicals are locked away. Maybe he has got into someone's garage and fallen into something?
Any suggestions or help please.
