well, I always used it topically, neat. worked on me at the time and I gave Ninja one drop about a half hour before we left for the vet and one more drop just before and she was just relaxed. the vet was very curious about it because Ninja was clearly not happy to be there, but her body was quite relaxed (just a kinda cranky look on her face). when the boys were younger and I was trying to adjust Bandit's fabric chewing behavior I tried it on them both - temple/ear - no joy.... I haven't tried it on them recently but the chewing seems to be under control and I've used feliway since Smoky had his cystitis issues. altho - when he kisses my fingers, he has recently started to nibble too:P Barb+Smoky the House Puma+El Bandito Malito "My cat the clown: paying no mind to whom he should impress.

Am I doing something wrong? I bought the regular rescue remedy in the dropper form and the rescue sleep in the spray. I was hoping to use it at night or the early morning hours when things get out of control at our house. Mainly it’s just two of our cats who wrestle and fight (play fight) constantly—non stop! It’s loud (even though they don’t meow), but they’re running into things, stampeding through the hallway, scratching furniture as they vault over it, mauling each other, etc. They look like one gray ball rolling around frantically. When we’re awake during the day, it’s all very amusing, and I always break up the fights when they get too serious. Those two hearts get to beating so fast! One is not picking on the other—both take turns instigating these fights. Anyway, I thought maybe the rescue remedy would calm them down during these situations when we’re trying to sleep and they’re playing “rodeo.” I squirted the rescue sleep in one cat’s mouth. Nothing. I added it to their water at bed time. No luck. I gave them a drop of the regular rescue remedy in their mouths. Nada. The circus continued at 4 a.m. without lessening. Anybody else have zero results with this? Does it only work with stressed out cats and not rambunctious ones? Maybe we should be using it on ourselves instead! J Melissa Lind Boardwalk for $500?
