No, iodine is not safe on a cat's wound. The cat will end up licking the wound, therefore getting the iodine in his or her mouth. Iodine is poisonous and should not be consumed orally.

What is the value of using betadine solution in cleaning wounds?
betadine is the trade name for Povidine-iodine. It works as an antiseptic and kills not only bacteria but healing cells within the wound. It is used in wound care primarily to maintain dry ulcers that are not expected to heal or for which moist wound healing is contraindicated (eg arterial ulcers). In cases where healing the wound is secondary to killing the bacteria, then Povidone-iodine can be used temporarily. In these cases, the critical level of bacteria is preventing wound healing anyways. Povidone-iodine will only kill superficial bacteria: it does not penetrate into the tissues. It should not be used on those who have iodine allergies, seafood allergies or certain thyroid diseases.
