I have a cat that goes insane. We have to heavily sedate him to get him to the vet and then he is insane for 3 days after. By insane I mean he doesn't recognize anyone (people or sister cat) and is totally in flight or fight mode with a lot of hissing, growling, aggressive behavior, with fur standing on end. It's a frightening site to behold. Nothing calms him down but time. Disrupting the household for 3 days while he gets his act back together is difficult at best (two separate litter boxes, he gets locked in a room, two separate food distributions, etc., long/slow reacclimation to sister cat). Yesterday, the sister cat let out a meow that apparently startled him and he lost it. I was afraid he was going to attack me, but after some period of time I managed to get him into a room and close the door. When I remembered I had bought this for just such an occasion, I put a small amount of shredded cheese in a dish and added the Rescue Remedy. I slid it into the room quickly and closed the door. He was still crazy insane hissing and growling. After 10 minutes I looked in and he was calm. He knew who I was, his eyes had returned somewhat to normal (they get wildly dilated) and let me pet him. He was still riled up but not to the same extent. When he behaved like this in the past, it took 3 days to get him back. This took 10 minutes. He was not back to full normal (not that he is ever normal), but he was calmer. I left him in there for a while. When I let him out he started hissing at the other cat, so I put him back in the room but I could still get in to pet him. I put some more of the Remedy in his food and water dishes. Several hours later, I gave him some more cheese and Remedy. By dinner time, all was almost back to normal and he wasn't hissing at the other cat. To me, this is nothing short of a miracle.
