Emotional Healing for Cats Paperback – September 1, 2000

I've studied flower essences for over ten years. I own several books on flower essences + animals, and this is in the top four. I use it all the time for my several cats.However, I am giving this book only four stars. As nice as this book is, it is limited to ONLY Bach's original 39 flower essences mainly from England. Nowadays, flower essences are much more than the first 39, including flowers from North America (Northern California, deserts of Arizona and New Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, Florida); Scotland; Australia bush; New Zealand; South Africa; South America; Central America; to mention a few. Bach died young in 1936, leaving his work unfinished, and many people in the last 70 years have taken up where he left off, much expanding the number and quality of essences (depending on where in the world the flowers are indigenous).Frankly, books on Bach's first 39 flower essences are so ubiquitous that I now avoid them in favor of books covering flower essences from other parts of the world besides England. Plants of England are not the only plants in existence! I am REAL tired of books getting published involving only Bach's original 39 essences. Even though Bach "bumped into" his first 39 essences, Bach's essences are not the holy grail of flower essences! Look further afield than Bach's essences.

Fabulous book if you are into Bach flowers usage with cats.

This book has helped me to focus on the emotional side of my cats healthThe flower bach remedies is a way to use a mixture that is right at a spesific time for your cat

Very clear and easy to use. A great help to understand and support your cat

Great book for me working with cats in a Holistic Veterinary Clinic.

Chiaro, schematico e molto comprensibile. Ottima risorsa per utilizzare i FdB per il proprio gatto.

This book is worth having, for understanding how your cat deals with stress and how best to help. It's not complete in scope but I refer to it, along with my other books, so it's worthwhile to add to your holistic book section.

This book has been my first introduction into Bach flower remedies, and I have to say that I have found it very interesting and inspiring. I had often heard people mention Bach remedies but was unaware they could be used in animals as well as people, which I found fascinating as a trainee animal healing practitioner and a trainee cat behaviourist. I cannot personaly comment on the effectivness of the remedies on animals as of yet, but I will certainly be getting one one of my clients to act as a guinea-pig after reading this book!Overall I found the book very informative and easy to read and definetly a good introduction into the world of Bach flower remedies for animals. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is although most of the veterinary information in the book is correct as an ex-veterinary nurse I had a couple of eek moments! When I read the author's recommendation for using frozen peas on an animal suffering from heat-stroke!! yes a bath of cold water to dip them in, but not an item that is below freezing! Not unless you want to send them straight from heat-stroke into shock!!The comment about cats self regulating themselves in regards to food intake had pritty much the same effect!..... Who ever came up with that theory in first place (as I have heard it often) has alot to answer for!! Cats do not self regulate them selves EVER in terms of how much food they will eat if it is there for the taking, weather a feral cat or a pet cat. There is a very good reason for this, a cats willingness to eat food and hunt is not connected to hunger at all, the two stimuli belong to different areas of the brain completely. Eating is actually connected to a cats survival mechanism, so if the food is there a cat will eat it to ensure they survive another day, it has absoluetly nothing to do with hunger. But otherwise a good book, which I would recommend :)
