For the Land We Share

Kindness to Our Cats, the Creatures, and All Life

Cats are beloved companions, woven into the quiet rhythms of our homes. Yet they are also part of a wider ecological story — one that touches the birds, insects, and small creatures who share our landscapes.

Many people know that keeping cats indoors overnight helps protect local birdlife. But there is a quieter, often unseen impact:
small birds frequently die as chicks in the nest, poisoned by chemical residues from pet fur and hair used in nest‑building.

Even many “natural” flea treatments contain neem and essential oils that are toxic to cats, whose livers cannot safely metabolise certain plant compounds. These residues can then enter the environment, affecting the very creatures we hope to protect.

After careful research, I created a gentle, cat‑safe blend for my own companion, Misty. She’s healthier, happier, and her fur no longer sheds harmful residues into the environment.

This formula follows ASPCA and veterinary guidelines, using only cat‑safe botanicals at a low 0.5% concentration — ideal for feline sensitivity and wellbeing.

It is offered at cost, as a small, grassroots gesture of care —
for our cats, for the birds, and for the land we share.

 

You can find this gentle, cat‑safe formula in the shop under “Only Natural FLT Lotion” — offered at cost as part of our small, grassroots care for the land we share.
