Do anyone here use these with their feline family members?

I use them with my human family and I knwo you can use them with pets, but just wondered if anyone else here is already in practice with them?

I'm using Rescue Remedy and it seems to be helping since our Feliway Diffuser burnt out. I thought it would be anarchy, but the RR is definitely helping keep the peace
.

I do not use essential oils. Too many aren't safe for cats.

I just started using Bach remedy with a nervous cat in my household and it's helped her a lot.

ditto...
you can also put drops in your hands rub them together and then rub your fur baby

You can dilute it in distilled water too so the alcohol smell isn't so strong.

I only know about dogs. My 14 1/2 y/o border collie has demantia & a holistic vet told me to put rescue remedy on her ears or pads as she seems to be scared of me. As for essential oils I've only heard of using eucalyptus & tea tree oils for dogs. Dilute 1-2 drops with 100ml of medium. Tea tree oil & citronella are in some dog shampoos & conditioners.
