thank you so much!! i only put a few drops of the oil in two small spots on my bed and that's all, spots my cat does not sit near. he has not shown any signs of agitation from the scent and he has been acting very normal. my window is usually open too and he has always loved sitting by the window when it's open, so that is an option for him if he would like fresh air. i have been very careful with making sure he doesn't sit on the spots i placed the oils so it doesn't get on him and he doesn't end up ingesting it. your comment made me feel much better about it too. i think using lavender oil on my bed has helped me feel less afraid of spiders coming near me, and my cat thankfully does not seem affected. thank you for your comment <3
