It has just been sitting there because I mixed it up and didn't end up needing it (for cleaning!! )
So how do I properly dispose of it? Can I just let it evaporate outside? I really don't want my kitties drinking it though 
i dunno

Naptha should just evaporate off. Other stuff's fine for flushing. Just don't stain your toilet purple 
Don't flush the naptha. Turkey baster that bitch out first.

maybe mix it up first to see if it breaks up. Not like you are flushing toxic waste or anything.
