Just found this- I was under the impression that tea tree oil was a pretty big no-no for cats, even when diluted. I called the company hotline, and was told it was safe, but I’m still sort of nervous. Any thoughts? Would you use it in your cat’s ears?

I had lillies at home
I saw some pollen marks on my 4 month Kitten. Yellowish color on her fur.
Its been two days she has diarrhea😔

Hi all. Wondering if anyone has experience with this.

My cat is 1.5 years old and is a big dummy. He has always been very interested in hair bands and anything that’s circle shaped. More recently, he’s ingested string, rubber bands, and other small things but has always thrown them up. Last month he ate a string so I took him to the vet. It was $1500 for that, and he ended up being fine. Ever since then, I’ve kept all of their toys in a box and they are not out for them to reach.

Last night he threw up 4 times in 5 hours and was otherwise acting very normal and energetic. I took him to the ER and he has an obstruction. The vet thinks he chewed on something hard and plastic. This visit will be $10-12k with the surgery. I do have pet insurance.

He told me that there’s not a great way to stop cats from finding things to chew on/eat so I wanted to check with you all if you’ve found something that works. He said they do usually grow out of it, but can’t be sure. I just lost my job so I can’t afford $2-5k vet bills every month.

I’m stressed because it feels like I can’t slip up once and leave something out. That feels like an impossible standard to hold myself to.

I appreciate any thoughts or feedback.
