I would keep a close eye on Axel because these sprays can be toxic to cats. You did the right thing by washing out his mouth right away, and hopefully he didn’t ingest enough to cause a problem. If he becomes anorexic, lethargic, starts vomiting, or has dark stools, take him into a vet right away. Hopefully, however, he will be fine.
