Re: [Everything doTERRA] Cat care - fleas

I use Lemongrass on my cat, and did some research before using it. A commercially available spray called Sentry Natural Defense has Lemongrass in it and is sold for cats and kittens.

I'm not sure that Lemongrass is classed as citrus, as it comes from an ornamental grass and not a fruit.

Be very cautious using any kind of citrus oils with cats. Lemongrass is great for dogs, but I am not too sure about cats. I know of a couple of our bloggers here are vets, so they could assist with that better than I, but I have used baking soda sprinkled all over the house and on the cat, to get rid of the flees. Had to do it 4 days in a row, but it got rid of them. You could also try putting purification into the baking soda before sprinkling it. Lavender also works too. Hope this helps.

  Good morning. I hope this finds you well.
  
  In the ME book, 2nd edition, under Animals (Usage Guide) there's a
  statement that a person may use the Children and Infants section as a
  guide for cats, except to avoid melaleuca. That's good information,
  except most Children and Infants do not get fleas (we hope). =)
  
  What could I use for my long-hair feline to control, eliminate and
  prevent fleas? I've had to use Advantage in the past and my girl
  really dislikes that as much as I do. Also, what carrier oil do you
  recommend for cats?
  
  Thank you for your time and energy. You may reply here or privately.
  
  In Joy,
