rosemary oil on cats?

This is more of a "public service announcement" than a question. Have you ever spilled rosemary oil on your cat? Today I did. I knocked a bottle off the counter and it spattered on my cat. Immediately she started freaking out and running around the house and was hissing at everything that moved. Then she started panting and foaming at the mouth. I looked up what to do online, and didn't find much info which is why I'm posting here. I called my vet, which was closed, so I called an emergency vet which had me call the ASPCA poison control hot line. I didn't have the $65 call in fee on a credit/debit card (silly me was "responsible" and paid all my bills today) so they wouldn't help me. I did try to wash it off with dish soap, but she fought so I couldn't do a very thorough job. She was still panting and very hot. Normally she's very quiet but she was meowing like crazy.

The only option left was to borrow some money and head to a 24 hour vet. They gave her a bath till she was squeaky clean and gave her some medicine in case she ingested any.

Here's the long and short of it (in caps because it's important):

IF YOU GET ROSEMARY OIL ON YOUR CAT TOPICALLY, WASH IT OFF THOROUGHLY. IF IT IS INGESTED YOU SHOULD GO TO A VET FOR MEDICATION.

For the next 24 hours I am to monitor my cat for any neurological/behavioral effects or any breathing issues, but the vet thinks she is going to be okay. So (to make this a Y!A question) did this happen to anyone else? How did your cat react?
