Essential oils around cat?

We have a 5 month old kitten, we have several scratching posts, and she still is scratching, she's been scratching at the doors in my house and she will not stop. I read to put essential oils into a spray bottle with water and spray the area and it keep her from scratching. I read a lot of sites that said to use citrus type, rosemary and cinnamon in the bottle. Then I've read not to use them. I'm confused. Anyone know?
