Ylang Ylang
Cananga odorata
Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) essential oil is toxic to cats. The fragrant essential oil — widely used in perfumes, diffusers, and aromatherapy — contains germacrene and related sesquiterpene compounds that cats cannot safely metabolise. Both inhalation of diffused oil and topical application cause toxicity.
重要提醒
Toxic compounds: germacrene, benzyl acetate, methyl benzoate, and other volatile sesquiterpene and ester compounds in the essential oil
Mechanism: cats lack the hepatic glucuronidase needed to metabolise these compounds efficiently; accumulation causes GI and CNS effects
Symptoms: vomiting, drooling, weakness, unsteady gait (ataxia), difficulty breathing; inhalation may cause respiratory irritation
Essential oil diffusers in closed rooms are a significant risk even without direct contact
Do not apply ylang ylang oil to or near cats; use diffusers only in well-ventilated areas the cat cannot access
