Today, I accidentally spilled red wine on my cat. She ran away and licked the wine off before I had a chance to clean her. My mother is deeply concerned our cat is dying. I'm trying to tell her to wait 24 hours before taking her to the vet's, simply because I think my cat is hung over. FML

If it was just a small amount she will probably be fine, just make sure she is drinking water and isn't acting overly weird.

Tell your mom if she wants to save your cat, she'd be better off taking it to an AA meeting.

<p>And in that time, your cat could die. Don't be a dumbass and never take the chance. The sooner the vet sees the cat, the better chance at survival. "Oh I'll wait it out and see if it's fine later just cuz I don't wanna pay an expensive bill over nothing"&nbsp;If you have kids, have mercy on their soul.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Please take your cat to the vet. Alcohol is toxic for cats and can be deadly. Please see this webpage:&nbsp;http://www.natural-wonder-pets.com/how-harmful-is-alcohol-to-dogs-and-cats.html</p>

<p>&nbsp;The father of my childhood friend gave his dog a can of beer (after work, &nbsp;and in an upside down Frisbee) every day for at least 12 years. &nbsp;He (the dog) &nbsp;was old, &nbsp;but healthy right until he died. &nbsp;Friend's mom accidentally ran him over while getting was sleeping under the car.&nbsp;</p>

In addition to the others. If cats dont feel well, sometimes they just give up on life, while they actually would live if they would just eat and drink. The cat just laysdown and prepares to die. My cat did this and the vet had to inject half a liter of fluids(which is for a 5kg cat is a massive amount) and he was fine a day after that. Dont lets him/her just lay around because you might actually lose her/him

<p>"I think my cat is hung over" "My mother is concerned our cat is *dying*" Pets should not be exhibiting the same symptoms that you think it is alright for humans to experience while intoxicated. Cats and dogs are much smaller than humans, and their kidneys are not designed to process any alcohol effectively as we do.</p> <p>Although you would not have to take a pet to a veterinarian simply because you know it was exposed to alcohol, if your cat is exhibiting any "inebriated" symptoms, it is

Well sorry guys, apparently a couple owners being irresponsible but getting lucky in their animal not dying means all the animals that DO die and the science and professionals saying its poisonous is wrong!
