It is but only when freshly applied, non 
toxic to dogs. Insect exterminators use 
permethrin indoors, but warn pets must be 
kept away from the sprayed areas until it 
dries. Once dried it is not a problem for 
cats.

I sprayed this indoors around every door 
and window, keeping the cat secure in its 
cat carrier till it dried. Our cat is just 
fine.
