fleas/oils

[Guest guest]

Re the posts about the fleas, the parts using essential oils on cats

are strongly recommended AGAINST on my cats list. They say NO essential

oils near cats, but infused oils are a different matter.

 

This is what they said about the recipe for 3 or more oils listed

by somene on here, with the oils being used in a carrier oil on the cat's

collar.

I've seen this recipe. These are essential oils, a BIG no-no with cats.

Safe to use with dogs (except the pennyroyal, which should NOT be used in

pregnant or lactating bitches), but not with cats.

 

_No Way! No How! Should essential oils EVER be used on or around cats

because of their quirky metabolism and that fact that many essential oils

contain high levels of phenols and benzenes toxic to cats.

www.thelavendercat.com has some excellent data on why cats cannot tolerate

eo's.

Even pennyroyal.

Do these people have any idea just how TOXIC Cinnamon and Clove oils are???

They cause nerve damage! I can't even sit 3 feet away from a window sill I

put cinnamon oil on for a month it's so strong! Clove oil is used for

toothaches bc it kills the nerve, and aquarists use it for euthanizing sick

fish.

 

 

Now an INFUSED oil would be a different matter.
