I will be picking up my new kitten today and I'm sure she will be very nervous with all of the new changes in her life so I was trying to think of a way to calm her down.
I also happen to already have some Bach Flower essences and I've been told that it is a great way to calm cats down.
But what I don't know is how to give it to her? Do I put it in her water. Apply it to some part of her body?
Answers:
The Bach Rescue Remedy is a good choice for her and will help with any emotional issues she has in her new home - fears, anxiety, trauma from loss of mother, siblings, etc.
You just shake the bottle well and put three or four drops on the fur between her ears and you do it four or five times a day for a week or so. It is normal for a kitten or cat to hide under a bed for quite a while when they first arrive in a new home (she should be place in a small room for a period of adjustment anyway so she doesn't get "lost" and be hard for you to find). You can simply put the drops on a small cloth and put it with her wherever she has found to be). You would "refresh" the drops four or five times a day until she is ready to venture out.
Flower essences are energetic in nature and do NOT have to be ingested to be effective. It is important to use them intensely for effective treatment and putting drops in a water bowl just doesn't work with a cat because they don't drink enough water frequently enough to have any significant effect.
iv been told always to add a couple drops to th water
good luck..

If you can put it in her mouth directly, do that. Otherwise, put it on her ear or skin and it will be absorbed into the skin. I don't usually advise putting it in a bowl of water; much of the remedy will evaporate before she has a chance to drink it all.
rescue remedy is a great product to give a cat to calm it down and a little bit in the food should do it. However I don't think that you want to give it for your liten the first time coming home. Yes, she may be nervous but it won't take her long to explore and eventually take over your house! Just let nature take it's course and best of luck
