It’s probably safe to diffuse it for most cats. However, if Tigger has any history of asthma or breathing condition, I do not recommend diffusing anything (or incense or candles or smoking indoors for that matter). Also keep in mind that some essential oils can smell extremely strong to our pets - who have a much better sense of smell. If it smells strong to you, it’s overwhelming to Tigger- so turn it down. Best of luck to you and Tigger!
