Yes
I would not treat your cat with oil of oregano unless your vet says it is ok. Call up your vet and ask. You wouldn't want to hurt your cat by using something that is bad for it.
No, the oregano that we eat is derived from the Origanum Marjoram plant. The medicinal Oregano Oil is derived from the Origanum Vulgare plant. Unfortunately, some people don't realize this and they produce oil of oregano from the Marjoram plant. Watch out for "homemade" oils. So, when you go to buy your Oregano oil make sure it is derived from the Origanum Vulgare plant. And make sure it's percentage of Carvacrol is at least 60%.
It can be, but you can eat it as well and has a mild, oregano-like flavor.
Yes, oregano is generally safe for cats in small amounts, but it is best to consult with a veterinarian before giving it to your cat to ensure it will not cause any adverse reactions.
I have never heard oregano would have any impact on birth control pills and we eat it all the time.
