Try the spray.  I have no luck at all with the plug ins.  The spray, on the 
other hand, is wonderful.

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

Hmmm, I'll def try that (their bedding) after a web search. I'm already
spraying Feliway everywhere so what the heck
While I rather like the idea of spraying it as they race past
(ha-gotcha, you little scamps!)I fear it'll make them even more wary
of me!

there's a way to dilute it/aerosolize (sp?) it so you can just spray it
onto them as they race past, or onto their bedding. i'm not sure the
exact proportion/info on how to do so, but like everything, if you do
the right sort of web search, it's out there.. 

i've never had any particularly positive experience with RR, but i know
that many folks absolutely swear by it. i don't know if it's because
they are more inclined to expect it to work, or what--i'm a firm
believer in placebos, have told my docs for years to prescribe sugar
pills for me as long as they don't tell me fine with me if something
works just cuz i expect it to, i'm NOT proud

well, I always used it topically, neat.  worked on me at 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

So, I was really excited to get some rescue remedy and try it out on the
kitties to see how amazingly it worked-no luck! 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.

Subject: OT: rescue remedy


So, I was really excited to get some rescue remedy and try it out on the 
kitties to see how amazingly it worked—no luck! 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

Barb, do you dilute or give neat?...What change of behavior did you see
in Ninja?
 
(Maybe I'm expecting too much~! After several months of putting 4 drops
in each of their water bowls, morn and night, for several months now I
can't discern any change of behavior in any of my 5 cats (ferals are
pretty well still as feral as ever; and my highly-strung cat is still as
highly strung as ever (I've just started him back on his chlamypramine
again). I'm thinking of giving it up & finding a better use for the $$.

Rescue Remedy is like all other medicines and herbal treatments, it
works well for some people and it doesn't work at all for others.  RR
worked on my sweet Ninja but I could pour the whole bottle down Bandit's
