Now is the time of year to get Peppermint Extract. Yes, Peppermint extract.

Why? What if your cat needs to go to the veterinarian? What if your cat gets into a fight or eats too much turkey? What about that kitty breath? Nerves?

When I have bad breath or before I go out looking for other cats around the block I ask my owner (EsheleD) rub a little Peppermint extract on me. It eliminates the offending odor and works much better than vanilla or other, milder extracts he might already have in the kitchen. It helps settle my tummy and freshens breath. It soothes the my nerves a little bit and helps me interact with other cats. In the act of washing it off my fur, I get enough extract to help with hairball elimination-not by lubrication, but by relaxing the digestive tract.

So, get to the grocery store, go down the baking aisle and get a bottle or two of Peppermint extract. Keep it on hand year ’round.

I suggest using this for a long time because it’s made with alcohol
