The solution of ordinary water and essential oils will not cause any harm to your cat, no plants, no you. On the contrary, the smell is just delightful.

How to make a cat repellent

For spray you will need:

• small bottle with a sprayer, for example, the probe spirits;
• 60 g water;
• lemon essential oil;
• wild orange essential oil;
• lavender essential oil.

Add the water, two drops of each essential oil, stir thoroughly and spray on the ground in a pot or in the air around the plant. Try not to get to the plant itself, especially in the leaves.

Cats have a very sensitive sense of smell and they just hate the smell of citrus and lavender. So that your pet is unlikely to once again come to the plant, and it will be safe.

If you do not like the smell of this mixture, you can try other essential oils, such as peppermint, eucalyptus, lime and lemongrasc.
