Cats have a unique liver metabolism among mammals. You may have saved your cats lives in the short term only to substitute liver damage down the line. I repeat, this is one blanket statement that anyone with cats should heed, ALL essential oils are extremely toxic to cats. All contain the damaging chemical constituents, in varying concentration, true, but cats simply cannot deal with them, and they WILL build up in the liver, eventually causing serious liver damage and death.
