Will it calm an old cat in a new environment?

THe Comfort Zone diffuser was really effective on our 8 year old cat that wanted to kill my mother's cat guest. The collar and spray were used on the guest. You can't change their minds about hating each other. We are on 11 acres here, and the two cats did get into it a few times. Our cat would stop during the attacks and shake her head and just lie down in confusion. We just used the wipes in the carrier for transport, but we did keep applying the spray to the guest - wiping it on with our hands. The diffuser was very calming for our cat indoors. No help for it once she went out.

I've had success using the wipes in a cat carrier. I've purchased the other types of this product for a friend. Within minutes my cat calmed down and became drowsy.

Yes, it will calm a cat in most environments. If you have changed homes, you might consider investing in the feliway spray. This also works very well. jay@kremlincats.com

Yes. But the diffusers seem to work best. Put on diffusde in eah cat-area/room - we have 3 in the house, at each end and in the hall. The effect is quick and amazing. It helped us with introducing a new cat - and one was feral and calmed down (still can per her, but she stays out).

It should. I noticed a change in my cat. She used to get agressive sometimes, when I would be away or too busy to pay attention to her. Once I started using this, she is no longer agressive and seems much calmer and happier. It's worth a try.

Well every cat is different, but I'd say the transition should be gradual. Definitely pour some of his old litter with some feces in there so he can learn to associate the smell with bathroom. Keeping his old box out for a bit of time is a good idea too, at least until you see that he willingly (and often) uses the Clevercat box.

Hi, I`m sorry I Took so long to answer , but I've been travelling.I am really not a veterinarian, only a cat owner. They tell you to talk to yours first , and it was what I did. But, in my not specialized opinion, I suppose it would help, since my aunt's cat had a very similar situation to yours (but it was a female cat), and it helped her a lot.

we used it to help with My cat's aggression with other cats. While we did notice her not "hunting" the other cat in the house as much, we did not notice a marked decrease in aggression towards the other cat when they came across one another. If your cat is acting out simply due to stress, however, I think it may work better. My sister uses this supplement to help her skittish cat who is afraid of strangers and we have noticed improvement in his tendency to hide from strangers.

Yes. Mind you this thing is not some miracle worker. It's still up to you to scoop out the litter, the machine will only compensate so much. But if you are diligent about being a good cat owner and still doing your part on a regular basis this thing will get rid of the smell, and it's quiet so it won't scare them.

Yes. It doesn't work for all cats but in my house it has definitely helped tone down the aggression. It hasn't solved the problem 100% but it has helped. Our vet reports that while it doesn't solve the problem for all of their clients most find that it helps.

Yes if you put the cat out of the bedroom and close the door. In all seriousness, it might help, but I don't have any animals so I really don't know. Maybe if you buy two quilted pillow protectors.

I have used Feliway primarily to keep our cats calm while we were in the process of moving from one house to another. We placed it in a small bathroom where their litter box was located. It did the trick in keeping them calm. We also used it some after we moved into a home with much more open room space. I think it lasted longer in the smaller space (maybe 3 weeks continuously plugged in),but I did not really keep tabs on it since it serve our need in the move. Now we only use it occasionally when we may be gone for a weekend and someone other than us feeds them. It may have to do with ventilation and location of where you have it plugged in.

I use the calming collar all the time on my cat, it makes a big difference. The collar really works, I was surprised.

without looking or scaling it further , that seems right to me. My cats have now homesteaded it and put up no-trespassing signs. When they're out catching mice or birds to share, I sneak a nap occasionally to ease my back, hip, and edema or lie face down for eye and brain therapy. What was your original question? But then I'm 75...

I think it might. I used the difuser that is plugged in and slowly releases the pheromones. When I plugged it in the response was very quick. I used it because I had brought in a new kitty and my other kitties were a bit negative and at times aggressive and this seemed to help the situation quickly. They sort of mellowed out when I turned it on. And the effect was pretty much permanent. My sister has used the collar on just one of her cats who terrorized her other 5 cats and it also worked well. However with him she has to keep replacing the collar 2 or 3 times a year to keep him in check. I hope you find this information helpful. Linda I think it might.

It has made a big difference for our 15 year old female cat. She was not able to jump up onto a chair before we started giving it to her twice a day. It gave her a lot of pep, so she can play with our new younger cat. She used to just howl when he tried to play with her!

Sorry I can't really say since I don't have an older cat. If you are concerned, perhaps try something not so high.

I don't know for sure, but I would doubt it. Double sided tape, a squirt bottle and a handy scratching post have cured my cats.

yes. leave the carrier open where your cat can get familiar. maybe put something with your scent in it. my cats play and nap in it.

It should. For three days leave your cat in (1) one room w/litter, food and water. The 'friend' will get the message. My cat too was originally an outside cat.

I think that's a wonderful idea for an elderly cat! Our feral outdoor cat loves his. If we ever succeed in bringing him inside, the house will come, too.
