In the hope that Rescue Remedy would help with Grizzys howling and the
constant interruption of my sleep, i have been putting it in their water
bowl daily.

The end result - the water bowl is being drunk completely every 36 hours or
so. Grizzy is staying quiet all night although it has to be on mummys bed
right beside me. The more amazing result is on Mistoffelees who has become a
very purry cat who wants pats and chin scratched regularly throughout the
day. He isnt as narky as he used to be and hasnt beaten Grizzy up for a
couple of days. I cant believe the difference in him. He is even coming to
see visitors when they arrrive.

thank you to whoever gave me the suggestion. it has saved my sanity

I've been putting it on their water fountain whenever I remember. They
do seem to be a bit more relaxed and there seems to be less chasing of
Luna by Basho and Issa. I'll keep at it, thanks for the report!

By the way, how much do you use? How big the bowl?

What is rescue remedy?  Never heard of it, curious what it's for.  Would it
make Mama Zoo a nice kitty once again?  Would Licorice become less afraid?
Details please!  I'm assuming it's safe, but what is it?

Thanks!

It's an herbal remedy (http://www.bachflower.com/rescue_remedy.htm) that
has a calming effect. You can buy it at health stores (Whole Foods sells
it) or online
(http://www.vitacost.com/Store/Products/ProductDescription.cfm?SKUNumber=74127300
3922&source=incept
).

It's a Back flower remedy. Basically, extract of a bunch of different
flowers disolved in alcohol. You add a few drops to the water bowl every
day, and it can work wonders to level out feline temperment. I used it
with my 4 kitties when they started getting nasty with each other, and
within a few days of putting Rescue Remedy in the water they were
fighting much less. I let the bottle run out, and within a couple days
of stopping the drops they were getting grumpy with each other again.

You can often find it at larger pet stores like PetSmart, and can
usually get better pricing from online vendors.

It is wonderful stuff. I didn't notice a difference when I put it in water,
but when I read about the alcohol content, I also read that it is just as
effective if a couple of drops are rubbed into the ear. No worries about
the alcohol being consumed this way.  :)  I found it made more of a
difference.

I am glad to hear it.  I don't remember who suggested it either, but I
think we are going to give it a try at the office, to see if it will
make Oz more mellow about Tiger's incursions into the inside
territory.

So glad to hear that it's had such a good effect. I've had good experiences
with it, too. Frank has stopped yowling at night, and Nikki is friendlier
than before.

Is it available in Finland? Where? Is it called Rescue Remedy here too
or does it have a different brand name?

I ordered it from here:
http://samsara.wysiwyg.fi/verkkokauppa/kauppa.phtml?osasto=43

but they don't list it now. :o( Except in the big package with a bottle of
all the other Bach flower remedies. There it's called aputippa, but the
package is really expensive and I don't need the other kinds. Hmph. And I'm
running low. I think I'll have to write them and ask them if they will
deliver only Rescue Remedy.

The "searchaholic" went to work and I found the wholesale company
representing Rescue Remedy in Finland:
http://www.biotics.fi/
One could probably ask them if they knew a store nearby selling it.
Apparently, according to other sites I found, the product should be
available at health stores, either undiluted or as a diluted, ready to
use formula.

And then I found a site that doesn't sell stuff over the net, but by
telephone or snailmail:
http://personal.inet.fi/yritys/qii/elaimet.html

Maybe we'll have to try one of those, if your "verkkokauppa" won't
cooperate.
