Poisen Ivy

Hello All:
Is it possible to transmit poisen ivy to my cat?
Are they even susceptible to urushiol - the toxin in the plant (also in poisen oak and sumac)?
My Georgie licked my arm where I have a relatively mild outbreak (a few weeks old) which I've been treating with Zanfel.
I was worried that he could be exposed.
Thanks,
Craig

Is Zanfel a topically applied medication? I think my concern would be the cat ingesting that by licking it.

I cannot answer how poison ivy may effect your cat. However, I do know that one of the ways I used to get poison ivy was from my dog. My dog would run through the poison ivy and the residue would remain on her hair. Then, I'd pet her and get poison ivy. I think something like this is possible if you pet your cat and get any poision ivy on your cat's hair that you can be re-introduced to another outbreak on yourself.

I know that doesn't answer your main question about effecting your cat's health, but I thought it would be worth mentioning as far as your health.

IIRC cat's and dogs aren't allergic to poison ivy. They can brush against it and give it to their owners though.

First, Zanfel is NOT a medication, its a soap that you use and then rinse off. I'm sure that Georgie didn't ingest any.
Second, what is IIRC?
Thanks,
Craig
