Are Essential Oils Dangerous to Cats?Essential Oils and Cats🐈

by Sud0l 2020. 11. 13.

In Japan, an article was published saying that a cat died in five months due to lavender flowers.

 

I was really surprised to see this article..🤕

I also have a cat, and among the products I use at home, 

there were many products containing oil.

 

Perhaps if I hadn't read this article, I'd never known my cat was dangerous.

Especially among perfumes, refined oil collected from plants is very toxic to cats.

 

There are two ways to contact a cat.

1. Ingestion

2. Contact

 

In addition to breathing, ingestion can occur in the process of licking one's owner 

or licking oneself.

 

You should really be careful because if cats are constantly exposed to oil, it can lead to disease😭

 

There is also one more big problem if the oil product is perfume.

 

The problem is that cats have a better sense of smell than humans.

 

No matter how small a scent is, it can feel terrible for a cat, and if it persists, it can stress the cat.

 

*Especially, you have to be more careful about the smell of lemon or mint*

 

This does not mean that the company should not use oil products at all. It's just that it's useful to live long with my cat.That doesn't mean you shouldn't use oil products at all. If you use these carefully, it is useful to live with my cat for a long time.

If a cat shows unusual symptoms due to an oil product, it must be taken to the hospital.
