Crab Apple?

Is Crab Apple toxic to cats? The oil is suppose to take away rowdiness and unruliness when rubbed on anyonne acting rambunctious or ugly. You are suppose to put it on kids when they get out of hand. I was wondering if it would work on Karma when she goes into "attack and kill mom" mode and NOTHING will stop her. She will just keep lunging at me, saying no does not work, ignoring her makes it worse(she trys harder), the squirt gun doesn't phaze her, giving her a time out makes her attack more when she is let out. I don't ignore her at all, My life revolves around her, we play for hours at a time. I will just be watching tv and out of no where she attacks. I can tell she thinks its fun, for her not me.
The only time I would use it would be when that mood starts. You know kind of like taking the fight out of her before it starts.

Any other ideas on how to stop it would be great to. I love that she plays and wants me to play with her but I can't do it 24 hours a day. I just want the "I'm gonna get you" game to stop.

KarmasMom - I don't know for sure about the safety of crabapple oil so I wouldn't use it unless my vet told me with absolute certainty that it was safe.
There are many substances that humans tolerate with no problem that can make cats very ill, or worse. Anything that is applied topically will be licked off by the cat, so I'd steer clear of it.

How old is your cat? Is she spayed? If she's very young, and unspayed, it might have something to do with her behavior. Has she been taught to "rough house"? When my Louie was a kitten, my husband would let Louie "wrestle" with his hand. Consequently, Louie began to think it was ok to bite and scratch hands (it took awhile for him to unlearn that!)

It's great that you are trying to keep your cat healthy and active, but I can understand not wanting her to attack you. Maybe if you gave some more info as to her age and spay status, some members may be able to give you suggestions.

She's 2 1/2, spayed and was a semi-feral stray. Since I posted I have paid more attention to when she does it. It is usually right after we have been playing hide and seek or chase me, both great fun. She also does it if she can see the bottom of her food bowl, there will still be food but she can see the bottom. We really don't rough house with her, we are carful not to let her learn that. I think its her way of saying shes not done playing yet or she wants a FULL food bowl. Silly kitty.
