Scared for my cat and myself

[MissSunshine]

My cat ripped open a bag of mothballs you get with your parcels/clothes
they scattered all over the floor, someone told me there poisonous which i never knew and all of a sudden i feel breathless im scared for my cat incase he licked one and also it being the same room as me i may be affected?
i hoovered them up and now every time i hoover im going to be scared the air coming out of the hoover is toxic. :weep:

here we go again! silly silly me!!!

[Annie0904]

They will be silica gel. It will be safe so long as you don't eat it :D It is used in cat litter so will be safe for the cat xx
