Glad to hear it worked for your kitty. How much did you dilute it for a cat? Initially I used a 1:1 ratio and it made him drool for 10 minutes.
The first time, when I didn’t know better, I just dipped a q-tip in the tea tree oil. Cat went crazy, it must have burned a lot. Then I mixed a drop in the olive oil, maybe 2:1. Kitty was calmer, all wrapped up in a towel. Of course after the ordeal, she received lots of love and reassurance and begging for forgiveness.
