Will this help with fear aggression? My cat always gets aggressive when strangers comes over.

I'm sure it will, but I am not a vet. My understanding it helps with a variety of anxiety triggers. My cat has been on it for almost 3 years, twice a day. Takes a few days/weeks to notice a difference. Let's just say, when my cat only has one a day- I notice a difference in his behavior. These work for my cat!

It may. My cat suffers from a stress related bladder infection and this has been quite helpful. So if you cat is acting out due to the stress and anxiety of his/her territory being disrupted it may work well.

I think so. This product really works. I would try giving 2 treats before the fear situation. My fearful cat gets 1 treat twice per day and she is about 75% less crazy. Also break treats up bc they are kind of big for one bite.

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.

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'm not sure, but if you know someone is coming over, why don't you try to give your cat one of the "treats" and see if it works.

Its more likely that your cats are terrorizing your dog and he's defending himself.

I don't feel like it had any noticeable effect. For myself, It's a lot of money to not recognize that it helps. But, I got mine in hopes that my one cat would calm down and get along with the 2 of our 8 cats (we foster) and it didn't work. Maybe for a move to calm the new environment, it would work. I think it's worth a try for the first month and then hopefully they'll be adjusted by then.

Yes, I bought mine for my cats. I have Persian cats though so they tend to be a bit calmer and not as jumpy as other cats. But it works for me!

I use it for a very nervous, jumpy cat. It works for that, but I've had no problems with spraying so I don't know.

That was sort of my situation, and it didn't bother my cat or the other cats,, but it did seem to draw predators like foxes. this did not work for me at all. Waste of money. You'd be better off getting the thing that's motion activated and squirts water, then you can aim it away from your cats and the strays will hate it.

I bought the Thundershirt to help with car-sickness and calm her when people came over. It calmed her down enough that she would not vomit in the car but she still paced back and forth in the back of my Suburban. When she wore it in the house she was calmer and seemed almost afraid of us. It's strange how it changes their behavior. When it came to aggression, she wasn't generally aggressive but she and the neighbors dog would run along the fence constantly and the shirt did not change that. Don't know if that helps. If you don't want to spend the money, maybe try to find a used one to try out. Also...make sure you get the correct size.

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.

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.

It helps with my cats getting along with each others. I would suggest to replace hands with a toy and train him to see the difference.

For my cat, the answer is a definite yes! I guess it depends upon how scared your cat is of the thing. She got sprayed twice and no longer attempts to go up on the counters, whether or not the ssscat is even there. I've placed it a few other places since, and she avoids her favorite scratching spots (aka our leather couch and desk chairs) for about a week before managing to figure out how to outsmart the can's placement and work around it. I'm buying a second one to limit her success. But generally speaking, she's been really good about staying off the counters and away from the furniture. You'll never know until you try. I know that this was a game changer for our family! For my cat, the answer is a definite yes! I guess it depends upon how scared your cat is of the thing.

I don't think it will help you. It will only deter timid animals like deer or squirrels. Bobcats are more aggressive animals and the ultrasonic sound will not have much effect. I suggest you try one of the items that others here recommend.

i am not sure. my problem with my cats is that they were once best friends and now they fight and try to kill eachother. i tried giving them kitty prozac but they still fight... i may need to see a cat behaviorist

I think it depends on the cat. Mine is terrified of these things, so one good spray and he'll stay away for good. I find even putting one where I don't want him to go and leaving it off is deterrent enough. And when I catch him doing something he shouldn't be, I just have to walk up with one in hand and he scampers off.

Depends on the cat. I have one cat who is utterly terrified of the thing, and the other cat loves to stalk it through the house. It might help if you purchase a shark costume.

My cats re not mean but this makes them very mellow,so I would think it would help. You might have to give a little larger dose, I have had to during very bad storms.

Every feline is different. This product did not work at all for my cat...so I am not sure if it would work. I work with feral cats who are sometimes unable to even touch...I use a safe trap with tuna...also, your vet may be able to recommend something to calm her for her grooming. Hope this helps.
