Essential Oils For Cat Nose Care

First of all, you should know that the nose of your cat can be warm & dry or cold & moist for many reasons. But these don't necessarily indicate an internal condition on your pet. However, it is till important to practice preventive measures by using natural homemade remedies.

While your cat's nose may not necessarily pinpoint an underlying condition, it is susceptible to various problems such as runny nose, congestion, and other 'Upper respiratory Infections'.

Remember that your cat's sense of smell is a lot keener than yours. Never apply essential oils directly on your cat's nose. Instead always use it aromatically by diffusing the oils or applying it on your cat's body.

There are two oils that can maintain the health of your cat's upper respiratory system: frankincense oil and myrtle oil.

You already know that frankincense oil has many benefits for your cat when used topically and aromatically. In addition to supporting proper immune function, frankincense oil also helps in soothing the respiratory tract and relieving ailments such as coughing and nasal congestion.  

Just like frankincense oil, myrtle oil also helps boost the immune system and support the respiratory system of your cat. But it is specifically known for its effects on the respiratory system, skin, and the endocrine system.

You can use the tissue diffusion method using any of these oils regularly to improve the respiratory and immune systems of your cat. You can also blend these two oils using the recipe below:

• 6 drops Frankincense Oil
• 
  2-4 drops Myrtle Oil
• 
  50-80 drops Carrier Oil
  

In addition to diffusion, you can also apply this recipe via the Kitty Raindrop Technique while putting more emphasis on your cat's upper spine.

Finally, you have covered most of the essential oil recipes and practices for cat care. Though there are other recipes out there and you are free to experiment on your own, remember that the specific blends and oils in this pages are the only ones proven to be safe and effective through holistic research. Still, you are encouraged to explore the vast natural world of essential oils to improve your experience.

Deodorizing Oil Recipes

Cats may be adorable and you may be able to maintain their soft fur. But no matter how much you take care of your cat's skin, it is sometimes inevitable to get certain odors. This is especially true in places where your cat usually hangs out such as its bed, your couch, or even your bed. The smell of cat's urine is also quite nasty and difficult to remove.

*****Caution: Take note that some of the essential oils used in this chapter may be unsafe when applied topically to your cat. Always use these blends exactly the way specified in each recipe.

Essential Oil & Baking Soda Odor Neutralizer
This particular blend is versatile and can work with a number of different essential oil combinations. It uses the cleaning powers of baking soda as well as its ability to eliminate almost any odor. Of course, the essential oils added in this recipe will contribute to the freshening and relaxing fragrance that lingers after cleaning. It can work for carpets, tables, tiles, and almost any other surface that's stained by animal odors.

  2 cups Baking Soda

  Peppermint Oil
• 
  Vanilla Oil
• 
  Rose Oil
• 
  Frankincense Oil
• 
  Mint Oil
•

for this blend, you can use 10 drops of 3 different oils or 15 drops of 2 different oils: both totaling 30 drops. Feel free to experiment when it comes to the scent. However here are some combinations that smell fantastic:

• 
  Lavender & Frankincense

To use this recipe, simply combine all ingredients in a jar and shake well. A popular option is to use a mason jar with holes on the lid. Apply the mixture in the affected areas and allow it to 'soak' in and neutralize the odors. This should take anywhere around 15-30 minutes. Be sure to prevent your cat from getting anywhere near the area for the time being. Once done, you can wipe it off with a wet piece of cloth or use a vacuum cleaner. For added safety, use the smell test on the oils you wish to use, especially if you can't control when or where your cat will be at all times. Rinse the area thoroughly to eliminate the risk of your cat licking any residue.

Citrus Vinegar Spray
Vinegar is a popular disinfecting agent that's not only economical, but very effective and versatile as well. It is extremely useful for eliminating animal odors while also preventing any spread of germs and other household bacteria. while vinegar is alone effective in eliminating odors, you can use the power of essential oils to improve the fragrance.

• Ingredients:
• 
  Half a cup Pure White Vinegar (Acetic Acid)
• 
  10 drops Lemon Oil/Orange Oil
• 
  5 drops Lavender Oil
• 
  1 and a half cup Water
• 
  Spray Bottle

To use, simply spray the mixture directly over the source of odor. Wipe the area clean with a piece of cloth. You may also use it as an air freshner as long as your cat isn't directly to the mixture.
