It's just the powder, not the paste, and it's more
licking than really eating. The cat does not nose
around to find the jar or bag of the powder, just
licks it off my arm or maybe the floor if I've
had a little spill or pouf. It hasn't been exactly
large quantities. If it's just the tannins, I
don't think I have to worry (as I worry if the cat
goes after chocolate). Thanks for your answer!

: Ingested in large quantities, the tannins in henna are bad for your
: cat's digestion. Is your cat hungry for greenery?
: If you use lemon juice in your henna paste, it might discourage your
: cat from licking....what recipe are you using? Also...if you New
Skin
: your dried henna, I can guarantee the cat will walk away in disgust.

: Try the recipe and technique at the link below. It's definitely
: cat-proof.
