Petting

This method is well tolerated by cats and seems to be far superior to dripping oils directly on the skin. Due to the fact that hair follicles may enhance absorption, spreading the essential oils over a larger area of the cat may indeed prove more effective. Place the undiluted essential oil of choice on your hand, circle your hands together then pet your cat. You need to determine how much you let the oil absorb into your skin before petting your cat.

Kitty Raindrop Technique

(from the Animal Desk Reference by Melissa Shelton, DVM), pages 325-326

"Although this technique included oils that are typically contraindicated in cats, veterinarians and cat owners alike have witnessed amazing health benefits with this technique. Because of its formulation specifically for cats, it is remarkable to watch cats enjoy this application so much. I have documented the safe and even long term use of the Kitty Raindrop Technique (KRDT) in many cats with blood work and veterinary monitoring. One such case study is of a cat named "Cowboy" who has received a KRDT daily to twice a day for over 2 years!"

Add 4 drops of each oil to a 30ml bottle with dropper orifice:

[HEO's comment: We make a blend of these oils called "Raindrops"]

Oregano

Thyme

Basil

Cypress

Wintergreen [Birch]

Marjoram

Peppermint

Add carrier oil to fill the bottle and mix well (Natural/Organic, Fractionated Coconut oil, Jojoba etc).

Apply 6 drops up the spine of the cat, from tail to head.

Gently stroke or feather the essential oil solution up the back of the cat. Cat's often enjoy this backward stroke, but if not, pet the other direction.

Modification of KRDT:

When modification of the KRDT is suggested, this is generally referring to the addition of essential oil(s). In general 4 drops of the additional oil are added to the existing recipe, unless less is specified for that individual oil. On average, no more than 3 essential oil singles or blends are added to a KRDT solution.
