Borax is toxic to cats, and while it it low on the toxicity scale, if Sweet drank some borax, it's best that she is seen by a vet now. Symptoms of borax toxicity include diarrhea and vomiting to muscle weakness and seizures, and are usually seen shortly after ingestion. I would take Sweet into an ER vet or find vet on call to see her now.
