Claire is HORMONAL! When she wakes up talking, screaming and pacing it’s one of those days! First thing on my agenda when I feel her hot cheeks is to give her a cool mist shower, either in the bathroom or on the patio. Then I feed her cool whole foods, raw if she will eat them, and I make her some chamomile tea (dilute 50%). The tea has the strongest effect, so while that’s soaking in, I give her some paper to shred. Within about 20 minutes, she’s calm. It doesn’t last all day, so I put the cool tea in her cage to sip on and try to keep her occupied with outings, snacks & shreddable toys for the rest of the day. Happy hormone days!
