    There are veterinarians open all the time. They are called emergency vets.

    But if your cat is acting normal, not vomiting, eating, drinking, etc. then I am sure he will be fine. Chances are that he only ingested a small amount of alcohol. While it is not good for him, it should pass through the body rather quickly. Make sure he has lots of fresh water available for drinking.

    If he shows any worrying signs, please get him to a veterinarian as soon as possible.

    Good luck!

    Your cat will have somewhat of a buzz, but it depends how much your cat drank. He should be fine, as long as he didn't gulp down a 40 oz!

    you should do a little research on college resources. OF COURSE IT WILL HURT HIM! I'm not so sure like die. Cat's go in the wild and eat whatever they can get! So how is he going to die from this? Maybe he will get sick. Still, do a little research. I wasn't being sarcastic.

    No, it will not hurt your cat.

    He may get a little buzz, but it is nothing to worry about.

    My uncle use to get his dogs high.

    he probably didn't drink very much.

    just watch out for him he'll probs get diarrhoea or vomiting, but it'll be fine.

    no he'll be fine, but depending on how long hes been up, he'll either fall asleep or kinda stumble around and do random crazy stuff.
