    Cleaning solvents toxic to cats!!

    I was trying to help King2005 find something on ammonia toxicity in cats. I read where Pine-Sol is toxic to cats. I feel bad because I just got through scrubbing the kitchen floor with Lemon scented Pine-Sol!!! MooShoo walked in as I was finishing and the floor was still wet. I DID wipe the floor down after cleaning it. But I made sure I also wiped his paws so he didn't ingest any. According to what I read, it can cause serious liver damage in cats. ANY cleaner containing Phenol is toxic to cats.

    So, BEWARE!! Pine-Sol is toxic to cats if they walk through it and then lick their paws. Because Pine-Sol contains heavy amounts of pine oils, a cat's system cannot digest it and they can get very sick.
