Is the lavender oil pure or does it contain a carrier oil? (a carrier oil is used to dilute the pure oil). I am just asking because lavender in its purest form is quite toxic. I would not be rubbing it on Bastet without a carrier oil in it. I would be afraid that I would poison her when she goes to lick herself clean.

Also lavender is not so good for pregnant women either. Please remember that any kind of plant extract can be absorbed through the skin. Its not just the smell.

I don't want to put a damper on your excellent advice I just don't want people poisoning their kitty's or themselves.
