The choice of chemical for tick control depends on numerous factors, including whether or not it's for home or commercial use, the application method, environmental factors, and species of tick. Certain types of Permethrin can be used to spray dogs or cats that were exposed to areas suspected to be infected with ticks, and can also be applied as a spray to lawns or shrubbery. Permethrin is the chemical that provides that best flea and tick control. It is found in my sprays and collars but can't not be shipped to all states.

Research on the effectiveness of lavender oil in repelling ticks on dogs is limited and inconclusive.

It depends how much tick spray the cat ingested, and which specific tick spray it was. It certainly would not be good for the cat. I would strongly recommend taking the cat and the tick spray can to the vet, as the vet is more likely to be able to find the effects of the specific active chemicals on the cat's system.
No, tick baths for humans are not a recommended method for tick removal and prevention. It is best to use tweezers to carefully remove ticks and take preventive measures such as wearing protective clothing and using insect repellent when in tick-prone areas.
