I got a catalog from a new pet supply vendor (CareaLotPets.com) yesterday and while browsing (and wishing I could buy a lot of their goodies for the cats!) I noticed that on products described as containing Tea Tree oil, no mention was made that these products should not be used on cats.
I emailed their Customer Service department last night and hoenstly didn't expect a response. However, I got one this morning, and wanted to share it here.

I feel like I won a small victory! Even if I've saved one cat, I've done something good.
My BF works at Trader Joe's, and he got permission from the manager to post a warning in the floral department regarding plants toxic to pets, and also another in the health and beauty aisle, regarding the danger of Tea Tree oilto cats.
I'm not posting this looking for a pat on the back for us, LOL. My point is, even one person can make a difference and save a life. If you see a situation where a lack of information can potentially cause harm, do something about it.
