Rescue Remedy is a staple in my house. I couldn't go without it. Yes, I use it with excellent results. I put a drop on each ear, rub it in slightly, and in a few minutes, the cat who was having anxiety or exhibiting tension with another, mellows right out, and usually falls asleep. I would highly recommend it for both of your cats right now, especially if are in the middle of moving, which will totally stress a cat out.
You can actually use it for yourself as well.....FYI. Either apply some drops on your wrists, or put a few drops in your mouth. I wouldn't recommend putting the drops in your cats' mouths, though, for it does have alcohol in it.
How to use Rescue Remedy Pet: Rescue Remedy Pet is available in dropper format, allowing pet owners to easily administer it to their pets. Alcohol-free, it is suitable for use on pets of all shapes and sizes, including:
• Reptiles
• Fish (add to tank water)
• Birds
• Cats
• Dogs
• Horses
• Rabbits
Rescue Remedy Pet Dosage:
4 drops, given several times a day.
Simply place 4 drops of Rescue Remedy Pet directly into the mouth. Alternatively, add 4 drops to food, water bowl or on a treat. Rescue Remedy Pet can also be rubbed directly on the animal’s nose, ear or paw. Choose the method easiest for you that will ensure the animal receives the correct dosage.
No offense to those that have fish... FISH? How does one know their fish is stressed?
One note on the alcohol free pet version. It is very sticky, and is a hassle trying to rub on an ear or paw. And sleeping all the time? No. They won't be zonked out, just more laid back. They may at first go to sleep because of the stress that has worn them out, and that is good. But, sleep all the time? No, at least my cats don't.
Good luck with the moving! A lot of hard work and a lot of stress!! Don't forget to take care of yourself as well as your cats.
ive never used it with cats but we did use it alot when i worked at a shelter in the high anxiety dogs and it worked amazingly...
it didnt make them sleepy or realy even change their personality...
just helped them relax.
i also used a few drops when i brought my large parrot cichlid home, hed been heavily bullied prior to me adopting him then kept in a tiny tank and was showing alot of signs of stress, dull color, loose scales, irrattic swimming/lazing on the bottom, not eating well...
used rescue remidy for about a week and there was a total turn around, i also added it to the main tank the day i moved him in just to make sure he had chance to settle in and everyones doing great.

Amazing! Rescue Remedy even works for fish! Wow! Thank you for sharing this story. Now I know something new that I did not a few moments ago.
My uncle has a place at the beach and drives there every weekend with a cat. He gives the cat a couple drops before the car trip and it mellows him out for about 1.5 hours. They just use the people kind, not the pet kind.
