Did you know that First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® can be used by cats experiencing anxiety due to life changes? One of my clients has kindly given me permission to share about her cat Alvin. She texted me at the beginning of May to say that Alvin, “was really anxious and hardly comes inside anymore and that a friend had commented that walnut flower essence in his water could work well” and asked if I had any?

(Walnut flower essence is a Bach Flower essence that corresponds to First Light® flower essence No 25 Kowhai – Growth and can be used when we find change painful). 

I asked when did his behaviour change and did it correlate with anything else going on in the household? She replied that there had been a few changes with members of the household. I then prescribed First Light® Life Changes support© – Life in Transition, a combination essence that supports us energetically so we have a spirit of adventure, overcome challenges and be open to new possibilities. 

In June I checked in with her to see how Alvin was feeling and she sent a photo and replied “First time he’s lay on me in ages Patricia. He loves the drops.  Can I get some more please.  I’m nearly finished them.”

Here’s Alvin’s story:

“Alvin

Alvin came to us a very small foster 

We had an older cat Jasmine who was 17 and not very well.  We knew we didn’t have long for her on this earth and were looking for a new cat to fit in with our family to bridge the gap with our middle cat Vixie so losing Jasmine wouldn’t hurt so much for her 

Alvin was the perfect fit.  Cuddly , respectful of both my two cats and just the sweetest nature.  It didn’t take long for me to adopt him and he became my foster fail … 

Everything was good for ages.  Then he went out and got spooked we think and ended up under my neighbours house for 10 days.  He was so skinny.  And wouldn’t have lasted much longer … 

He came right from that, then we had Jasmine put down in Sept last year and we had it done at home to help both cats transition better. We left her body at home for a few hours before cremation so they could sniff her and hopefully process better.  However for Alvin he has been skittish ever since 

Traumatised almost

He hardly ever comes in.  If the door is shut he paces and howls.  He sleeps outside somewhere in all this cold weather.  

I talked to Patricia about it as it breaks my heart.  He was my cuddly boy.  Was always on my knee. Slept with me every night, now nothing.  

She suggested a blend and I have been using it every morning and it’s in his water bowl too. And I am now on my second bottle.

Slowly slowly. He is coming inside more.  He jumped up on the bed with me last week.  He was playing with a toy inside this morning.  Still scared about being trapped in but I am seeing a glimmer of hope.  

Thanks Patricia for recommending me with the flower essence blend”
