Kerosene/petrol/diesel fuel/white spirit. If in contact with the cat or cat’s skin can cause skin irritations. If your cat or cat licks the fluid can cause dribbling, vomiting, diarrhoea, muscle tremors/twitching and convulsions. If your cat or cat inhales the vapours it can cause degrees of respiratory irritation, muscular twitching, dilated pupils and convulsions, leading to death. Keep your cat away from all containers containing these fuels, while using these oils and always clear up spillages quickly.
