Will cats, dogs, mice, or other critters be smart enough to not drink bleach?

Asked by johnpowell (17881points) July 11th, 2017

I have some fish tank stuff that can be recharged by soaking in bleach for 24 hours. The thing is I hate bleach and even a whiff of the odor drives my nose wild. So I have the stuff recharging on my porch since having it inside would destroy me.

I don’t have anything with a snap-on lid to put it in so I just put a plate on top. A eager critter could get in if they tried hard enough.

So my question is.. If a critter got in would they know that “this smells bad” and move on for water that isn’t deadly?
