Can cats coexist with pennyroyal plantings?

wouldn't come near me.


I recently stopped wearing a citrus-based perfume ("Pure" by Alfred Sung)
and my cat stopped having asthma attacks. I know the two things are related,
because little else has changed. Now whether it is the citrus base or
perfume of any kind, I cannot say. I surely didn't wear much, and didn't
wear it every day.

Sounds like great perfume! But, you're probably right about the cat. Mine
used to make that snuffling sound cats make when they're about to sneeze.
