I recently received a humidifier/essential oil diffused for a Christmas gift. I did a little research before using it, and I know certain oils are toxic to cats. However, it seemed the general consensus was that diffused oils in the air would be fine. However, today Tempura threw up, which is the first time she has since I adopted her four months ago. This would have been the only thing to have changed. I've stopped using it just in case (I've only been using it about a day). We also live in a studio which might have impacted it (she's in much closer proximity to the diffuser). Is it possible this is what caused her tummy issues? (I also know throw up can be a fairly normal occurance. It just seemed odd to me the first time ever has happened at the same time as I introduced the diffuser.) I looked at more articles, and it's difficult since there's some discussion that it might be harmful even if inhaled, but there's no definitive knowledge.
Edit: after combing articles and the Internet it seems like definitely not a good idea, especially when the cat cannot leave the room. I feel awful. But anyway, word to the wise. She's been fine and playing. Hopefully her tummy is fine in the next few days. I'll update this if anything changes.
