I have never had a cat that would drink water with anything in it .... so is there a calming medication that can actually just be put on the cat?

There is a Bach Flower Remedy called "rescue". They make one for pets specifically without alcohol. I have not tried it yet (moving mine next week), but it has no flavor or odor. You can also massage it into their ears if they won't ingest it. One of mine will eat those "Calm" treats (from VT) but the other won't. I also have three pheromone diffusers that I have not used yet. Armed and dangerous for the move !!! You can also buy pheromone spray. When I use that (Feliway) they get calm immediately.

I buy "temptations" treats, about 15 into bowl, then put 1 drop on top of each one. My cat loves it. I have another pain medication I do the same way with another 15 treats. You can add 1 tablespoon, twice daily into the drinking water. I see less waste using the dropper.

My cat is also fearful of strangers and normally hides and isn't aggressive with people, but I have several cats and I use Ventri-Science in the morning and kitty Prozac at night to help with calming him and to also keep him from spraying, even though he's been spayed. He never gets aggressive with people, just hisses at 2 of my other cats. I have a friend who uses the canine for her dog and it helps.

I put a smidge less than a teaspoon in all three cat's food once a day. Then I isolate the psychotic tortie until she finishes hers. None of them will drink water if I add anything to it. I think they are all coping better than without it.

I had the same problem with my 2 cats. It helped my male cat to calm down and stopped the biting after wearing the collar for one day. So I ordered more collars so my female cat can wear it to help her with stress. Unfortunately my female cat had a severe allergic reaction to the collar, she ended up with a swollen mouth and her hair around the neck fell off. We had to rush her to the vet and they had to wash her with Dawn to get rid of the chemicals. I decided to take off the collar on the male cat and ordered the Feliway diffuser. So far the diffuser seems to work well, both cats are calm and the male cat does not chase nor bite the female cat. I had the same problem with my 2 cats.

I bought one primarily for the cat (he won't drink anything but running water), but both of my dogs (30 lb. and 50 lb.) use it from time to time. They still use their traditional water bowls when they are so thirsty that they just want to dive in. (The Catit bowl requires a little more patience on their part.)

My pet is a small dog and it works very well. I put it in her drinking water. I would put a few drops on something your cat will eat - fish or cream cheese. Don't be afraid to use too much - 4 drops would be fine. It isn't a narcotic and won't dramatically knock your cat out. It takes the edge off. I also like a product called Composure.

Yes it does...my kitty would have had to be put down because of her peeing on everything and also she was hollering all the time. This Feliway stuff works great. My vet turned me on to it.....and I am so happy with it and so im Miss Kitty!

Nature's Miracle acts like a calming aide , I use it to quiet one of my cats. Give it a try. If they are sisters the one should notdo that. If that does not work you might try some calming gel , give it to the one that is causes the trouble.Nutri-vet Pet Ease Paw gel.

my Vet said it is calming it would not hurt my cat. I don't think it has an immediate affect you may have to give it to your cats for a couple of days

No, mine loved it immediately and they are OLD--19! But they have always loved running water. I suggest you turn the control that increases/decreases the water flow to make it a small trickle and see if that helps. I also suggest using filtered water (tastes and smells better to cats). Meantime, be sure they have other fresh water sources as cats can dehydrate quickly. Let me know if that helps!

It's pretty big for cats, but if your cat likes to knock over water bowls, it might do the trick. My old cat used to like to play with water. I got him a cat water fountain. The noise from the motor intimidated him enough that he didn't want to play with the water, but would still drink. Plus, you get the added benefit of giving your cat constant clean water. So, if they're finicky like mine was, they'll like that.

I'm not sure. Any cat would probably be capable of using this bottle, but sometimes pets are funny and will prefer a dish rather than a bottle. Maybe you can take away your cat's water dish for a day and offer him/her water from a dropper to see if they like it??Also, look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK7frQ-gIrM

Don't know about cats but it's sure made a difference with my dog. Plus my vet also advised to not let her gulp water. So we also use the Contech water bowl as well.

no. it's just like a dog whistle. i'd use a spray bottle with water for cats.

It works immediately for my cats. Check to make sure you're using the right amount. Don't be afraid to use a little extra. I usually make their water a very light mint color.

I have friends who have used this and it worked really well for them. I believe my cats would have responded better, but they are past that point. Medication and segregation is the only option right now.

I noticed after a few days. I use one cap full in 4 cups water. I find that my cats sometimes prefer this in the glass water bowl vs the water fountain I have next to it which I cannot add the dental fresh to as it has a filter in it. As long as their breath doesn't smell I don't care.
