There is this extremely funny sequence in the Herman Lindquist causerie which I'm currently reading:

He and his family is at a french aquaintence's house and they hear a cat meawing from somewhere and finally locate the origin of the sound which is a closed box in which the cat has saught refuge during the last bustling minute of his over-active owner's preparations for the visit of Lindquists.
Anyway they open the box and the cat shoots out of it like a rocket but is finally caught by the owner who tries to sooth it's nerves. Then she remembers that she has forgotten to spray the cat with anti-bug medicine and asks Herman to go and get it from the Medicine cupboard. Accidently he instead takes the anti-cat spray (which is used to scare off the cat from scratching furniture) and the owner doesn't read the label either and sprays the cat wÃ*th it and the cat goes into convulsions. Finally they read the label and understands that the cat is violently trying to get away from itself.
They phone a vetrinarian he suggests that they bathe the cat which isn't easy to do to a cat which is already frantic. They succceed with a collective effort to rid the cat of the spray.

At next visit of the Lindquists the cat is keeping it's distance from Herman.
