Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes this is completely safe to use around and on cats. In fact, we use rubbing alcohol directly on cats when we are drawing blood or something to help clean an incision site or minor wound. So yes there are no worries here about using it around John the cat. Take care!
