I was painting my nails and my cat was all calm and everything... It started smelling the brush now he is climbing up the walls...literitly... Can cats get high off nail polish? If it changes anything the polish was black...
It's not a dumb question. I did some research and the only thing I found was that nail polish, along with other household products, is poisoness (sp?). It didn't say anything else. If it was daytime, I would suggest taking him to the Vet but there probably aren't any open now. You could check the yellow pages. Sometimes, there's an emergency number. I know. . .call the poison control center. They should be able to tell you on the phone.
Keep looking on the Internet to see how harmful nail polish is to cats.It may affect his central nervous system, but I can't say for sure.
I will do some more research too. =^u^= kat
UPDATE: America's poison centers are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week to help you. The Poison Help hotline 1-800-222-1222 serves as a key medical information resource and helps reduce costly emergency room visits.
