I just put the Rescue Remedy right on Teddi's head by her ear instead of in the water.

It lets them feel your relaxed energy. It does work on most. You could also give her someplace to run to, to feel safe, (could be a cat bed in a room never visited during working or stress "Her spot". Could be in the corner of your room, the den, garage, etc.)

Love Rescue Remedy for humans and for pets(special formula for our furbabies) Been using since 1992. Wouldn't be without it!!

benadryl will help to make the cat less aware of its surrondings and calmer. I have used it on my dogs and my cat in the past during moves and also when tearing apart the house., If you go to the website it will give you the dose amount, I thinnk it is 1 mg per pound.

Yes, we had one of those. The vet recommended it to us because our cat was stressed. It really helped. I think the starter kit is $40.00 and the refills are about $25.00. They last about a month. But, it really made a difference for us. It was expensive, but our cat was having accidents all over our laundry room floor. That stopped with this atomizer. It is the Feliway brand. I would recommend it.

I just checked valleyvet.com in case you're interested in the Feliway stuff. The starter kit is $26.75 for one, $24.95 for 2. The refills are $15.95 or 3 @ $13.95 each. I believe shipping is free too! They do carry the happy dog stuff too.
Hopefully it's okay to post this here. I have no affiliation with the company, I'm just all about saving the $$$!
