So my cat disappeared and somehow managed to get into the attic eaves and was wandering around up there while I was out looking for her. There’s quite a bit of insulation in there and it looks like the asbestos type (it is candyfloss looking and grey as it is covered in dust with random bits of board in). 

I coaxed her out with food and she came out covered in black dust. I tried to wash most of it off but she doesn’t like being washed. I’m now worried about the asbestos and whether it could be on her still and spreading around the house. 

Obviously, I washed her and towel dried her. Should I throw my clothes away? And the towel? Will washing remove the asbestos from my cat? Is it likely to spread fibres around the house?

I’ve been on google but there doesn’t seem to be any advice. 

So worried I can’t sleep!
