Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | spayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 5 lbs
I was just using a hair toner (basically it's a hair dye) and I was working near my cat's water dish. After I finished, my cat got about 2-3 licks out of her water dish. I'm worried that there might have been a drop of the hair dye in the water dish when she drank it. It didn't look like the water was colored or anything so it probably didn't have dye in it at all but I'm just paranoid. So I'm just wondering what would happen if a cat drank a drip of hair dye dilluted in a water bowl?

You would have noticed symptoms, such as salivating and pain straight away. If she seems well in herself, I would not worry about it. If she does look uncomfortable, she is drooling, I would recommend a vet check up.
