Methocarbamol is the recommended treatment for clinical signs exhibited by a cat exposed to pyrethrin-based flea control products. Pyrethrins can cause neuromuscular toxicity in cats, leading to symptoms such as tremors, seizures, or general hyperactivity. Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant that is effective in managing muscle tremors and spasms. By providing neuromuscular support and relaxation, it helps alleviate the clinical signs associated with pyrethrin toxicity and aids in the recovery of the affected animal.

The other options do not address the specific clinical situation effectively: Atropine is primarily used as an anticholinergic agent, which does not target the symptoms caused by pyrethrins; amoxicillin is an antibiotic, which does not treat toxicosis; and acepromazine is a tranquilizer that may not adequately counteract the hyperstimulation caused by the neurotoxic effects of pyrethrin exposure. Therefore, methocarbamol stands out as the most effective choice in this scenario.
