Avoid putting any type of oil on a cat's fur.
Reasoning:
- Cats have a natural tendency to groom themselves, and ingesting oil can cause serious health problems.
- Oils can also damage a cat's fur, making it oily and matted.
- In addition, some oils, such as essential oils, can be toxic to cats.
If your cat has a specific skin condition that requires oil treatment, consult with your veterinarian.
