Things You'll Need
- Hydrosols, including lavender, chamomile and rose
- Spray mister
- Vodka (optional)
Instructions
Put lavender hydrosols in a spray mister. Check the label to see if it should be diluted. Hydrosols are also called "floral water" and generally don't need dilution, but it's best to be sure.
Mist a little bit of the lavender hydrosol near your cat, but not on her. Let her come and sniff the air. If she pulls back, shakes her head, sneezes or reacts in any other negative way, put the spray away and try again in a few days.
Spritz a fine mist of lavender hydrosols onto your hand. Rub your hands together to warm them and then gently stroke the lavender onto your cat. The combination of gentle stroking and the lavender essence should soothe her.
Clean your cat's ears with a mix of lavender and chamomile hydrosols for a soothing, gentle way to keep them clean.
Use rose hydrosols to treat rashes and minor skin irritations. Either spray the mist directly onto your cat, or into your palm and gently massage it in.
Spray your cat's litter box, bed and favorite place to sleep with orange and lavender hydrosols to help refresh them and calm and soothe your cat.
