Thanks, I thought that may be the case so glad I didn't get any - our cats aren't going out but neighbours' ones are.

I'm sure it has some antifreeze in. Not sure of the % though.

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

I know anti-freeze is very dangerous for cats but wondered if de-icer is the same ?
