Kelli Kat who went to heaven

Hello everyone! Yes, this says using essential oils with cats but we aren’t talking just any oils here but specifically Young Living Essential Oils. I want to share with you the numerous testimonials I’ve received from people who are successfully using the Young Living oils with their cats. These testimonials were in direct response to a rather negative post to the Holistic Pet Care topic I currently run on Suite101.com on an article I wrote entitled “Essential Oils and Pets”. I hope you enjoy these testimonials but also keep in mind these are personal testimonials and not mine or the Young Living company. Guess you’ll just have to try them for yourself . So here we go:

I have pure-bred Munchkins. This is a breed of cat that is often called the Dachshund of the cat world. They are short little guys, but every bit of them is cat.

I have used Melrose and straight melaleuca on them when I brought two kitties home from the breeders and the vet informed me they had ringworm. It worked well, killing all signs of it within 2 weeks, and they were pretty bad. The kitties had no side effects, they were about 7 weeks old when I brought them home.
I’ve used Sandalwood on their coats. When they first came home from the breeder, they smelled like a cat box. I filled the sink with warm water, lavender shampoo from YL, and a few drops of Sandalwood. I dunked a washcloth in the water, wrung it out, and gently bathed my new babies, then rinsed the same way. It took away the cat urine smell, and their fur was so soft afterwards. Same thing after they were neutered at the vets, they got a washcloth bath. Every so often, maybe every month, they get one.

Melrose also knocked out ear mites in another kitty.

One cat of mine, a big bruiser, non-munchkin, got seriously mauled by a dog. It took over 20 stitches to close him up. He had Melrose directly in the wound, with the approval of an open-minded vet, and Lavender for the pain.

One of my high-strung cats got Peace and Calming.

Another cat loved Peppermint.

We’ve had several cats come and go with children, but they’ve never had a bad reaction to any oil I’ve used. I stay away from oils high in phenols, such as oregano, thyme, etc.

The Melrose was such a success in so many cases that my breeder asked about it, and now she uses it on all her cats with great success. She has had as many as 50 cats at a time, and she goes through a few bottles a month.

Many oil brands can be very dangerous. YL oils are the best that nature has to offer, and the only precaution I would add is don’t use hot oils (high in phenols). Remember also, that some cats don’t need as much as others, JUST THE SAME as humans. One of my cats can take Melrose straight. Another, I dilute it with olive oil, otherwise, she drools. Use common sense.

Hope this helps.

If the YLEO kills cats then my cats have lost eight or nine lives each! They love the oils and a couple of them try to lick the oils off of my skin if don’t watch them. I have 5 cats. I even had one cat with liver problems (her brother died from liver disease and she had all of the same symptoms - that was before YL) that Immupower cured. That is one of the oils that isn’t supposed to be used for cats. I do dilute the oils when I use them on the cats - 3-4 drops per teaspoon of olive oil. I don’t know why I do since they lick the oils off fo me and those aren’t diluted. I have also diffused the oils full strength. Of course cats aren’t suppose to like citric oils and smells but I have 2 cats that will pick up lemon rind and chew on them - what can I say

She can contact me if she would like.

I volunteer at an animal shelter and they used Melrose in oil base for ringworm there.
Some cleared up in days, some in weeks. One tougher case over a month. That is compared to over 1 year with what they were doing before, which was why I suggested the oils. I couldn’t stand to see them isolated from kitten hood to adult. Of course, I would only use my YL oils. One shelter worker seemed to think they even liked the smell and affected their mood.

I have two kittens that a friend gave us. When we got them they were very sickly and terribly thin. I use oils on them daily. I put Helichrysum, Lavender and Roman Chamomile on their ears twice a day. I’ve also used Peppermint, RC, Idaho Balsam Fir and maybe a few others. These kittens are growing like weeds, play hard and sleep hard. Except for still having extra mucus, they are the picture of health. The YL oils didn’t kill them, but they would be dead if not for the oils.

I am attaching a document of posts that I have saved from the lists. It is too large to send any other way. Thank your friend for wanting to help cats live healthier lives with YL oils.

I have used oils on myself and my cats now for 5 years. I have used Nancy Brandt, a veterinarian in Las Vegas who gives advice over phone with great success. She has me dilute the oils in at least twice as much carrier oil. (I used diluted Melrose - 1/3rd bottle oil with 2/3rds carrier oil - around the outside of the ear and ear canal (never IN the ear) for an ear infection that regular vets could not cure for 2 years of trying (and the Melrose did cure permanently in a few weeks); and Di-Tone for parasites (on the stomach with a warm cloth and then a dry cloth over the area for as long as the cat would allow it). The Di-Tone was given at the same time as the Melrose for the same problem. And the problem did go away within a month. Can’t prove there were parasites, but Dr. Brandt said that is always a good possibility with hard to cure ear infections..

I also use Lemongrass (just a few drops in a cup or more of water in a spray bottle) for fleas. I just spray it on MY hands and wipe it along the spine. I got rid of Polyps in a cat using Frankincense (doctors records show they were there and then were no longer there), also diluted and healed sores and wounds with Lavender oil, also diluted. Never had any adverse reactions in the cats. But I use very tiny amounts.

Oh, and I almost forgot. One of our cats developed tape worm. The vet, Nancy Brant, said that oils would not be strong enough. She sent me a western de-worming medicine. But it took a while for me to order it and while I was waiting for it I took about 3 drops of Di-Tone (now Di-Gize) and diluted it in over a half a cup of oil and then put just a few drops of the very diluted oil in a cup of water. Now it was really VERY diluted. Then I put a drop or 2 of that water in the cats food each day. (By this point the amount of Di-Tone they were getting was very minuscule. Maybe one thousandth of a drop ( .0001 of a drop of Di-Tone).

You guessed it. By the time the western deworming medicine arrived there was no more sign of any tape worm.

You probably know there are 3 different schools of thought on essential oils in general. The French school is the closest to what Gary has researched and knows to be true. The British school is based on studies that were done on dogs. Dogs are much more sensitive to oils than people so human usage should not be based on dog studies. (Any small animal should be given much less than a human can take.) The British school claims that many oils are toxic to humans when they aren’t and there are books out that say things that just aren’t true. I am certain anyone who follows that school of thought would believe they were even more toxic to cats. I am not an expert on the differences between these 3 schools but I believe I am right that the German school focuses more on diffusing where the French school use oils internally as well. But I should research that to be sure. I am confident that the French school is the most knowledgeable on how to use oils for medical healing. Certainly Gary has done himself, and had many other universities and laboratories do a tremendous amount of research. And there has been a great deal of independent research as well. If these oils were bad for people, it would have become evident. And I am convinced that very diluted amounts are equally good for cats. Just be sure to follow the warnings for cats that are in the EODR (Essential Oils Desk Reference) under animals.
