Natural Cat Scratch Deterrent

Image
Time and time again my essential oils amaze me. But using them to deter the cats from clawing our suede lounge takes the cake. W e have to chase them away from the lounge every day. We hear that dreaded clawing sound and run to chase them before they do permanent damage. I came across a recipe last week and tried it. It did make the cats stop and sniff around, but they still ended up clawing the lounge. I tried a new blend each day until I finally found this one that has stopped them clawing altogether.

I came up with a non-toxic recipe for the best air freshener ever. It smells absolutely amazing and is the only air freshener I use now.
