Why does it say "Not recommended for use around cats" ?

Because it is deadly to felines.

Cats absorb it through their skin. Kills them. Rule of thumb is do not use any disinfectant/cleaner that goes white in water on anything to do with cats.

Absolutely what Suelin said.

Even if you clean a surface then dry it, it leaves a residue that they can absorb through their pads.

Can you explain why, what is it that is so lethal?

My first job after leaving school was at an animal sanctuary, thay had to stop using Jeyes fluid as a lot of the cats were getting ill, with what they first thought to be an inner ear infection, but was later linked with the Jeyes!
