    just done a quick google and found this on ehow - there were lots of other results though all appearing to say the same thing:

    wondering if normal pressed garlic oil that you can buy in the nice bottles is the same thing as i've got a fair bit of that at home - anyone?????

    ehow::::::::::

    Making Garlic Oil

    • Take three large cloves of garlic, put them in a baking pan, add 3 cups of olive oil, cover with a piece of aluminum foil and bake for about an hour. Strain the oil and store it in an airtight container. An even easier way is to simply cook the garlic and oil in a pot; let it come to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let the oil cook the garlic for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure that the garlic doesn't burn; even if it does, the oil will still be usable.

    Dosage
    • Dosage is a matter of your own judgment. About 1 tsp. per food serving is a reasonable amount, although you can use a little more if you so desire. You'll probably want to mix it thoroughly with your cat's food.

    Botulism and Garlic Oil
    • Using homemade garlic oil poses a danger of botulism in people. You probably won't have to worry about it, since most dogs and cats have a fairly high resistance to botulism. If you want to be on the safe side, however, you could make up a new batch of garlic oil once a week or so.
