Cinnamon can stop cats from scratching it really depends on how determined the cat is to scratch. Another great thing to make cats stop scratching is mixing some lemon with water and squirting at them when they do but do not squirt their eyes. You can also try putting orange peels where they scratch. That remedy is great at Christmas time if your cat starts to chew the Christmas tree hang the peels from the bottom of the tree. You can try patches of material if your cat is scratching furniture like the arms of a chair.
I hope this helps XD

∙ 12y agoI do not believe cinnamon will keep fleas away. Brewer's Yeast, ceder oil and even garlic are said to be a good natural preventative. Brewer's Yeast can be safely sprinkled into a cat's food.
Alternatively, using a good quality flea treatment such as Frontline or Advocate every month or every couple of months is also a good way of preventing and eliminating any fleas on your pets.
