The Kitty Boost is a fundamental item for all cats.  Cats are unique to the essential oil world, and they are certainly opinionated as well.  All good cat owners know, that we should definitely cater to them.  They are in charge.  And, if we go against what their desires are, we are certain to be shunned, not allowed to pet them, and we might not see them materialize from under the bed for weeks! The essential oils contained within the Kitty Boost are specially selected for a wide variety of feline needs.  Expertly blended, and properly diluted, we have had thousands of cats using similar formulas for years.  In our veterinary clinic – we document safety, results, and multiple samples of blood work and urine samples.
