I sprayed my cat with Lysol disinfectant spray last night by accident, I freaked out and wiped him down with a soft damp cloth and he slept fine and seems ok, should I be worried?!

If Boo ingested any through grooming I would expect stomach upset such as vomiting or diarrhea. If you wiped him down immediately and he is otherwise acting fine there is likely nothing to be worried about. If he has any abnormal signs mentioned above or is just not acting himself I would recommend that you have him checked out by your veterinarian.
