Yesterday, we touched on the oils to avoid for cats.
Here are another six oils to be more cautious of:
💧Cinnamon Bark Oil: Cinnamon bark oil is potent and can cause skin irritation and digestive upset in cats. It's best not to use it around them.
💧Oregano Oil: Oregano oil is potent and can cause gastrointestinal upset in cats. It's safer to avoid using this oil where your cat can come into contact with it.
💧On Guard® Blend: While On Guard® is a popular choice for immune support, it contains oils like cinnamon and clove that can be problematic for cats. Be cautious when diffusing this blend.
💧Arborvitae Oil: This oil may cause skin irritation in cats. It's best to avoid topical application or direct contact.
💧Eucalyptus Oil: Eucalyptus oil can be harmful to cats if ingested or if they inhale it in large quantities. It's best used sparingly and in well-ventilated areas.
💧Citrus Oils: Many citrus oils, like Lemon, Lime, and Wild Orange, can irritate cats. Cats are often averse to the scent, so it's rarely an issue, but it's wise to be cautious.
Remember that each cat is unique, and while some may be more sensitive to certain oils, others may not show any adverse reactions. However, it's always better to be safe and consult a vet if you have any concerns about using essential oils around your feline companions.
