How to Avoid Pet Poisoning
Cat poisoning isn't more common but recovery odds lower than dogs.
My hamster accidentally drank alcohol and started peeing blood-like urine. What should I do, will it be okay?

What If Your Cat Licks Rubbing Alcohol?
A small lick of rubbing alcohol usually does little harm—watch your cat's appetite, mood, and litter habits, and if nothing is odd, it is fine. But cats cannot metabolize alcohol, so a larger amount damages the liver and other organs and needs urgent veterinary care: induced vomiting and stomach flushing. For wounds, clean with povidone-iodine (gentler than alcohol) and fit an Elizabethan collar so the cat cannot lick the site. Store alcohol and other irritants where cats cannot reach them. Knowing the dose is what decides whether a lick is harmless or an emergency.
