Antifreeze is extremely toxic to cats. Ingesting small amounts, like a teaspoon, can lead to severe kidney damage and death. If you think your cat has ingested antifreeze, take them to see a vet immediately.   

The antifreeze toxin is called ethylene glycol. It is most often used in radiator fluid, but may also be present in some windshield de-icing products, motor oil, brake fluid, paints or solvents. Unfortunately, it has a somewhat pleasant taste, so many cats will drink it if they find it. Initially, it causes symptoms similar to being drunk (alcohol poisoning). If the cat recovers from these initial symptoms, they often develop signs of severe kidney disease within 24 hours. Immediate intensive care is needed to prevent this from happening or support recovery if possible.
