My Siamese mix is extremely hyper and is bouncing off the walls on a daily basis, does this stuff really work?

Hyperactivity is a breed characteristic of Siamese, so I doubt that you can effect radical lasting change. I have found that the effect of this product has been minimal for my calico.

Not sure about your cat. Siamese are high energy. Only worked on one out of four of my cats. Hope this helps. Using an action toy that self used such as Under cover Mouse may help with the energy. All my cats love this.

I have a 12lb Peke/pug mix. She's pretty crazy when she runs up the stairs, and often manages to budge them a bit. It's never stopped her, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone whose dog would be deterred by a little skidding.

On my very stubborn Airedale-Great Pyreenes, I used it all the time initially. (Ionly use the vibration, not the shock but he acts as if he has been stung by bees.) Although he wore it constantly, I would just work on one behavior (barking, eating poo, 'wait', and now, I have given up on the poo thing because I just wasn't up to watching him every second he was outside). I've also failed in the 'don't eat off the counter' thing. He just drank a whole glass of Baileys, so this could be an interesting evening. I take it off now (he's nearly two) until the behavior we've been working on pops up again, or he's having a particularly bad day. I can't say enough nice things about the widget. I tried a shock collar first, and I would watch him grit his teeth and just take it...not stopping barking at all.

We have a 15 pound male Havanese and he uses it everyday. Once in a great while he sprinkles off of the pad, but not very often.

i found this is also pretty loud, but i solved the problem by covering it with an old knitted toy he had opened up. you could probably achieve the same solution with a large sock or heavy stocking and just cut the hole out for the food to escape. then all you can hear is the kibble shaking around, not bad at all. i found it also helps him to pick it up when it rolls under the bed or in a corner and carry it back to his preferred rolling spots.

I think our 8 yr old golden retriever was more playful a little over a month after we started using it. Make sure you are doubling the dose the 1st week or 2.

I would say "no", our hamster is a bit of a pudge and I wonder if he will get stuck at times!

It might be a huge help, but the best way to tell is to try it. I found it worked wonders for a very anti-social kitty that had been abused. VERY calming.We'd worked with him for almost a year with little success. We'd done everything to make him feel loved and secure but he was still quite aggressive with my other cats. He wasn't spraying, just being aggressive or hiding. Spraying can be due to so many other factors that its harder to eliminate, but this does have a calming effect on kitty and might make it easier to give him the meds. Is there other animals outside that he can see or smell that are making him anxious and protecting his territory? Its the most common reason for spraying if there is no illness present to cause it. These supplements are a great place to start, but you will need to investigate what is making him insecure so he feels the need to mark territory. Jackson Galaxy has some great cat advice videos on utube, his TV show, "My Cat From Hell" has some good techniques that will help you. Pam Hohnson-Bennett has some great cat advice books that you can find used on Amazon that are game changers. Solving your fur child's problem will require some thought and effort on your part, but every moment you spend will be worth it, repaid in unconditional love for the rest of his life. Please do not give up on your baby and dump him in a shelter, this can be fixed. The love you will get (not to mention good karma:) is more than worth the effort and expense. Much good luck and love, hugs and purrs from the Crazy Catlady!

Perhaps. It has helped calm 2 of our 4 cats. Worth a try. Also look at Zylkene - that has helped one of our cats that is high strung around younger cats.

it works well on mine...almost too well! My cat was just sleeping on top of it...he's weird like that (it was off, of course...he's not THAT dumb) but dang if that levitation didn't kick in and it sort of "took off" and poor Waffles went for a ride he wasn't expecting and sure as heck didn't enjoy (poor kid...all the neighborhood strays made fun of him). He's since learned to sleep only on the non-levitating ones.

My cat is 16.5 and jumps from table on top of it . Nobproblems. The only reason i buy new ones is because he wears out the scratxhing pad

NO! This is not "secure" by any means, and the strength and quality of the product wouldn't even stop a curious hamster. That being said, it's worth the cheap price if it's used for its intended purpose, to stop bugs. tl;dr This product will not hold up to any cat. Best of luck to you!

Yes, it could possibly help, if your cats respond the way my cats have. When they get too rambunctious with one another I spray some Nature's Miracle on a cloth (or an old sock) and make sure each of the smells it. Then I lay the cloth in the vicinity they are in. If I keep a cloth (refreshing it with the spray a few times a day) in the general are during the day it helps immensely. But you have to keep it up, or they will go back to their old habits. Don't expect one spray per day to do the trick. It has made my life so much easier, and has calmed my cats down.

I just put it on him when I leave the house...he's reasonably calm otherwise. He has a little separation anxiety and I think it helps with this a bit.

I get my cat wound up with a feather on a pole type toy first, or a laser dot. Then I use the SmartyKat when I've tired out lol. You could try switching that around? When you cat stays on the wand, use the laser dot to get him to jump away, the turn off the dot and let him go after the SmartyKat again.

I use two in my living room and two in my kitchen and one each in all the bedrooms and one down the hallway. I have flooded my house with this stuff because of how happy it has made my cats. Their bickering has stopped, we have not had a incident in well over 4months now. In fact the last difusser came in just this week so we are at full strength. Every time I have added a difusser to the house I have only saw better behavior not worst. My shyest cat has not hidden back in the bedroom since we added the second one to the living room. She actually plays out there with the 5 month old. We have noticed a decrease in the amount of urine marking but they still do so on occasion, when that happens we spray it with Anti Itcky Poo and it stops the repeat behavior immediately I have never been so thrilled with these two products for my cats. Even my Tom boy is becoming more loving having the difusser sin the house. Tip: if you need to open windows, unplug them. Don't waster the product. Once you close the window plug them back in and behavior returns within 20-30 minutes. Good luck with them. And I'm always happy to help.

My cat that uses it is 10 pounds and very active on it now. It does wiggle some when she jumps on the top but it doesn't seem to bother her or else she has gotten used to it. It has never even come close to actually tipping over...and she's plays on it very agressively! She sleeps on the top bed now, runs through the hole on the high level, plays with both of the hanging ball toys and scratches the poles wrapped in rope everyday.
