It's not an oil answer, but it's what I found written, and is basically what I do:
Fleas particularly dislike the flavor of garlic and yeast (nutritional or brewer's yeast). Mixing garlic and yeast with your pet's food can render their blood unpalatable to fleas.
Cat owners: Please be aware that raw garlic is known to be toxic to cats. The use of garlic, as well as onions, shallots and chives, has been shown to cause damage to feline red blood cells which can result in hemolytic anemia and eventual death. Raw garlic and onions can also cause ulcers and irritation of the mouth, esophagus and stomach. Not all cats are affected in the smae way, and some sources suggest a small clove of garlic daily is helpful to cats with flea problems, however we suggest this as a measure of last resort which should include observing the animal's ongoing health. If garlic is used, it should be withdrawn once the flea flea problem recedes.
Use about a teaspoon of unprocessed brewer's (or nutritional) yeast daily for cats and small dogs, and a tablespoon for a 50-pound dog. Some animals are yeast intolerant and will react with a skin allergy. Discontinue use if this occurs. Combine the yeast with the garlic in your animal's food, and consider doubling the dosage during peak flea season.
Other natural repellents include vitamin B1 (thiamine) and unpasteurized apple cider vinegar. (See your veterinarian for the correct amount of a vitamin B1 supplement for your pet.) The dosage of apple cider vinegar is about one teaspoon daily in the pet's drinking water. Apple cider vinegar helps strengthen the immune system.

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.
