Spraying alcohol at home to disinfect utensils has little effect on cats. Be careful not to let cats lick the alcohol. Just don’t spray alcohol on cats. The smell of alcohol is relatively strong, and some cats may not be used to it. It is recommended that the cat be placed elsewhere when disinfecting with alcohol. ​​​​​​

When owners disinfect their homes, it is recommended to use pet-specific disinfectants, such as DuPont Virco. This type of disinfectant is less irritating to cats, and there will be no big problem if they accidentally lick it.
