Me, reading on the internet: Cats don't like peppermint, so you can put peppermint essential oil on stuff to keep cats away from it.
Me, the next day: (applies peppermint essential oil to the doorway where Minna screams for no reason half the night)
Minna: (approaches the doorway while I'm standing there, sniffs the peppermint bottle, takes a big lick.)
