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>I know its probably too late for this by now, but for future reference: PHONE the vet, explain the situation. They can tell you whether your cat needs to be brought in or not. A small amount to us might be enough to cause alcohol poisoning to a cat. Most vet clinics are soooo flat out that if you don't need to come in, they'll tell you.</p>

They absolutely can get drunk from alcohol. It's also a poison to us, hence the term alcohol poisoning.

Um. I really hope this is a joke. Cats and dogs can't get drunk. If you give a cat a tablespoon of any kind of alcohol, they will more than likely die. Animal kidneys aren't designed to filter alcohol, meaning; They. Cannot. Get. Drunk.

Grapes are toxic to cats and dogs. Wine is made of grapes. If the cat's acting that sick, go to the vet.
