Cleaning Chemicals and Cats: Safe Choices & Why They Matter

We all know how diligently our kitties clean themselves.  As a result, I am always cognizant of the products I use because no doubt, their fur can pick up the residue while they’re walking from one room to another.  And then when they sit down to bathe themselves, they are licking off that residue and ingesting it.

A reader wrote me the other day asking, “As far as cleaning, I’m wondering, do you worry about using spray chemicals to clean with? I’m worried if my kitten will lick the floor or something and get sick. Or is that not really a concern I should worry about? Do cats get allergies? Should I worry about dusting more often than normal or something? Am I over-thinking this?”

And I realized that it’s not something we have really discussed here, so I thought it might be a good topic for discussion.
