I wonder if anyone has had any experiences with using Bach Flower
Essences on their cat and/or has gone to a practioner. My cat gets
unduely frightened. He is a stray that adopted me last September. He
lives indoors with me now and has no interest in going outside. At one
time, he incurred a terrible injury which has left him lame in his rear
right leg and his left eye droops a bit as well. So he probably has a
right to be frightened of shadows even though he is hale and hardy in
all other respects. Yesterday the dryer started to sqweel as it was
tumbling and he went nuts and wrapped his arms around my leg and almost
bit me. Then a few days ago, I surprised him as he lay next to me in
bed, and he hissed and showed his claws. If he were a human, he would
need a tranquilizer. I might add he has not been castrated. Is there
any kind of herbal remedy that might relax his nerves? I have some
Mimulus and Rock Rose (Bach Flower Essences) and just gave him a few
drops and put a bit of Rescue Remedy Cream on his front paw. He doesnt
seem to mind this.

Try brushing him with a nice stiff hairbrush....Our feral cat (now
domesticated) loves this, and it seems to relax him a lot. My wife picks him
up a lot, and he is getting used to it.....She carries him around the house
on her shoulder......

I have used and see rescue remedy used with great success. I also like
feliway.. I used it when I moved, and my six cats were kept in one room
while we moved everything in and I used the feliway in that room. Once
everything was in, I let them out, and they were very curious and not at all
frightened..
