we've got a bach "practitioner" here who is of the sort that annoys me--she makes up her own mixtures, and gives them her own names without saying what the mixtures are (ie, so that no one can just get the essences themselves and make them up)--she has a version of rescue remedy that she does that with that's in a spray. her recommendations were to spray it on your hands and then pet the cat with it--which was about as practical with the psychotic-all-4-paw-declawed-calico it was meant for as your ferals, kerry! yeah, right....
