Hello BasketMum,

Thank you for your input. I appreciate your concern and hope
that I can relieve some of them. Yes, it is the pure oil, However,
since it comes out of the bottle in teeny-tiny drops at a time,
rubbed in hands, not all of it will be transferred to the fur and will
not harm the cat. Wash hands with soap and water. I would not use it on a daily basis or on young kittens. I've used it on Maggie 2-3 times, with long periods inbetween, and now all she has to do is smell it and she knows to settle down. The info was given to me by a friend who is a licensed accupucturist and has Degrees in Chinese medicines and herbs. She told me about the lavender after witnessing several episodes of Maggie being too rough. I, also, asked if it was harmful and she was definite in her answer of "no". She has used it on her own furry friend. I, like
everyone else, would never harm our precious pets. We are their
guardians and they depend, and trust, us to take care of them
and keep them safe.

Also, thanks for mentioning that pregnant women shouldn't
touch the stuff!!
