So, yesterday, I noticed these persistent Pharaoh ants swarming around part of my room, so I used this industrial strength pesticide (only stuff I could find) and sprayed the stuff around where they were trailing. Although that put an end to them, and will for the next few weeks, something horrible happened:

I noticed my cat had snuck into my room, somehow opened the door, and started to lick the pesticide off the floor.

She hasn't been acting any stranger now than normal, but I'm worried it may kill her eventually, and I'm certain she's going to end up sick later today. The stuff isn't dangerous to anything larger than a rat- then again, I've seen rather big rats before- longer than two feet. That, and I sprayed quite a bit of the pest-spray around, so I'm definitely worried about said cat. I don't know how that cat managed to get in my room, but I'm worried sick about the poor thing. There's nothing I can do but wait and see what happens; the vet won't be able to do anything, anyway.

But yeah, I had to let y'all know.

Update: never mind, she seems to be doing fine so far. Guessing she didn't get enough of it in her system.
