I wrote earlier about getting turned on to the benefits of coconut oil and just discovered I can use it for the kitties.  Izzy had an allergic reaction to some flea bites and still has some neck scabs healing up.  I had the thought to combine some coconut oil with a few drops of lavender oil and rub it into the affected skin.  He let me do it and I think it felt comfortable to him.  I thought afterward to research and make sure it was ok and it turns out that is one use for it.  I love when that happens. I also read that it’s good for their skin and coat to feed a tsp to them, they like the taste.  Twenty hours later, I am brushing Izzy and feeling around on his neck to see how the scabs felt.  They are already much better.  Good to know.
