SentryCalming Collar for Cats, Long-Lasting Pheromone Collar Helps Calm Cats for 30 Days, Reduces Stress, Anxiety, Loud Noises and Separation, 1 Count

We have 2 cats, sisters, who we will refer to as murder cat and derpy cat. Derpy cat escaped and rolled around in the dirt and something else foul. She is captured and brought back inside where murder cat gets within 8 feet of her and goes ballistic. Like, alternate dimension, what the heck is going on, who broke my cat, ballistic. Murder cat spends every waking moment trying to murder derpy cat and we have to keep them locked up in different rooms. Bathing derpy cat was not enough. Then I found these collars. Put a collar on each of them. And it took only a few hours to start to see the change. After 1 week of wearing them, we are FINALLY back to a normal cat home. Murder cat is now only interested in murdering flies and derpy cat has resumed her role as carpet weight. They both eat from the same bowl again, they lick each other lovingly. And while I find the smell of the collars off putting, I'd wear one myself if it would have sped things up. Picture is of derpy cat.

For context, my cats are horrible travelers. We have moved multiple different times and have tried multiple different methods - even going as far as having the veterinarian drug them. This time I decided to try the collar method out and it was the easiest move by far. I simply put the collars on them about a week prior to the move and let them do their job of calming! They are normally screaming in the car but I heard very little. They usually freak out when we arrive to the new place, but this time they were just curious! We are on day two in our new place and I plan to leave them on until we fully get unpacked and settled in, but so far nothing but good things to say!

I have 3 cats, 4 when I initially started using this product, but one has crossed the rainbow bridge, with my youngest being 3 years old. My other cats are 11+. My "baby" is insecure and can be a bully, often chasing the other cats around, but is also fearful of where they are. My poor senior cats never know if she will try and love on them or swat or attack them. My poor "baby" was stressed and afraid to come for cuddles with us. And then I found this wonderful collar! They don't live in perfect harmony with this collar; I'm unsure if that's possible at this point. However, "baby" is less anxious and her attacks on the other cats are much less when she wears the collar. I can tell when it's close to 30 days because all the old behaviors increase and then decrease again when I put the new one on. She is also more loving with us. Overall, it's a good product and worth trying. Remember that cats are different; what works for one won't work for another, especially with pheromone-based products. That isn't a reflection on this product, it's just something to be aware of.Now to the negatives. I have been using this for 4 months, almost 5. I buy the 3 pack tin and just use it on my "baby" cat. Surprisingly, she doesn't mind wearing the collar. After about 2 weeks of wearing the new collar, she starts scratching at it. With the most recent collar I have noticed that her back is rippling. I check her skin often and don't see signs of skin irritation, and the collar is loose enough.The collar is strong, and it can be hard to thread the end into the box clasp. However, it is break away because it would slide out of the box clasp if the cat got caught on something.This may not be a good choice if you are sensitive to smells. The smell is super strong and starts to decrease as the weeks pass. It can be distracting when petting your cat and smelling the collar. Even if I don't see her or she doesn't vocalize, I can tell when she's near by the smell of the collar. To me, it's worth the trade-off to have relative peace in the house.

This is a long read but if you are a cat lover you will understand I'm at a crossroads.I had bought 1 & Cotton Candy Cobra Kai lost it the 1st week. However I did notice she was becoming more low key towards the others. As in you know how cats will mob you when you are on the toilet? Lol! Cottons was in there & 2 others entered & I got nervous because I was in a bit of a compromised position ! 🤣 not like I could jump up quickly ! But Cottons was calm & actually walked by the others! Walked! No hissing or growling. I was amazed! Imagine how upset I was when she lost it and I've looked everywhere for it! They are a bright purple which I like! Easy to see or so I thought. 🙄So I bought a 2 pack. And they are cheaper on Amazon than Petco which is always out of stock and Petsmart is more expensive.All cats are neutered/spayed indoor only.Cottons has been bullying my tortie and guarding doorways or jumping on her to prevent her from entering a room etc. she also does not care for 2 of my other male Siamese.There has always been some growling/hissing & she has chased 1 calm cat & my male especially creeps up & tries to attack her, but it's amped up. No fighting but noisy.Cottons is 13 years old & momma's most protected cat since she was given to me as a 4 week old feral by my vet & is now the most loving affectionate cat towards me. It was 6-7 years before I could pet her without being attacked.The other collar is for my 3 yr old male Siamese TaiLeWen who has recently started marking on 2 chairs & certain walls no matter what enzyme cleaning products I've used! I have been VERY angry that he ruined a chair that I had for 5 years and all of a sudden he started marking it in spite of it being in the exact same place by my bed. So I threw it out. Then it was in different areas by my back door. I know why he's become edgy & it is because my neighbor's cat is always walking around outside in our yard. I bought a new leather chair and he's marked it 4x in spite of the assorted products I've used to break down the urine smell. I've even used the pheromone spray & have the pheromone diffuser plug ins throughout the house. Multi litter boxes such as an automatic one, a regular one and 2 that they enter from the top. Lots of interaction & affection, brushing, bottled water for pet water fountains. He will fixate on Cottons & rush her & this causes tension in the house especially at nighttime when I wake up to growling next to my pillow.Cottons even has her own bedroom that she goes into and sleeps curled up by the window with the door closed & no other animals are allowed in that room.These collars are male cat's last chance. Which is heartbreaking because he & his sibling are extremely bonded & she is so high strung she will not be able to adjust emotionally without him.Keeping fingers crossed. Will update after a few weeks.
