Are Vicks VapoPads with camphor in a humidifier safe for my cat?

Question

Tonight at the store I bought Vick’s VapoPads and Kaz Inhalant for my severe sinus problems. I have a cat and was worried about it being harmful to him. I looked online n saw that Camphor is toxic to cats if put on their skin, which both products do contain Camphor. It is used in my hudmifer and gets put into the air as I sleep. I live with my parents who have two cats and he’s cat aggressive so having him leave the room is totally out of question. My room is huge and it’s a small humidifier.

Thank you for using pet coach. I would not be concerned about using a small amount in a small humidifier being toxic to Junior. However I would not recommend applying it to his skin or even applying it to your skin if he is going to be licking that area. I would limit the use of the humidifier to be on the safe side. I hope that helps
