I have tried transdermal- it is almost more annoying and not as effective. I forgot to mention that I also put my girls anxiety meds into clear empty pills. (size 4 on amazon). When rolled in butter, and administered with the pill gun, it is so easy. It will take a few weeks for her to get used...

Hi! I am literally in the same boat. Crabby 4.5 year old cat... always been anxious/aggressive/sassy. First baby due this winter. She is on prozac now- may switch it up. Be open to meds.. I will NEVER give away my cat and the reason she acts out is because she is a little unstable mentally...

My 4 year old had the same reaction when we got a kitten in the fall. Definitely take things slow and be patient :)

Hi! This sounds strange, but it may be anxiety related. My oldest peed on our bed for years until I got a feliway diffuser for the bed room. The second I plugged it in, she stopped. Once I let it run out, she peed again. If you order on amazon, they are so much cheaper than getting one from a...

Yes!! You would not believe how long it took me and her to feel okay with the new kitten. This cat has given me SO much anxiety over the last 4 years. We got a second cat for her to have a friend and bond with, so when we have babies she won't hate us lol. I had to really re-work my mindset...

Do NOT lose faith!! I feel like we JUST have gotten our 2 cats comfortable with each other. Resident 4 year old aggressive female (issues with aggression towards guests/ us if she doesn't get her way- very opinionated) and 5 month old female. Sounds like you may need to back things up and start...

Hi!!! Please give it a try. I have debated for YEARS on putting my 4 year old on it. She’s had issues with anxiety and redirected aggression towards myself, husband and will attack visitors. I agonized over the decision because I want to have babies soon, and I need her to feel okay with them. I...

Your kind words mean more than you will know!! It has been a great source of anxiety for me, and I tend to over analyze her actions as well. I just had to adjust her dose, so we will continue to be patient and pray for the best.

Hi!! I had the same issue. My cat would get upset when we left, and would pee on our bed. Feliway diffusers were a game changer. As soon as we got one, she stopped. When it runs out, she will pee again. They are so much cheaper on amazon.

Another thought- what kind of feliway are you using? The diffusers are AMAZING - but buy on amazon (much cheaper). Also, there are 2 formulas. One for generic cat anxiety; and another for multi cats and helping them to get along

The only advice I have, is be patient with the adjustment process. It takes like 8 weeks. We are still in the midst of that time, and some days it hurts my heart to see my precious baby not act like herself... just have to keep going!!

Hi there! You are not alone!! You need to give yourself some grace and let yourself feel like a worried pet parent instead of fighting these feelings. I go through very similar bouts of anxiety caused by worrying about my cats. What helps me is writing down facts for myself to re-read when I am...

Hi!! I just recently put my 4 year old on Prozac for redirected aggression- it has been only 6 weeks, and we are still in the process of adjustment, but I really do believe it has helped!! I was so worried that it would be a hassle to give to her, but we have a system in place now. I got a pill...

Hi all! Wondering who can share their kitty Fluoxetine/Prozac adjustment stories. After several years of debate and struggle, we put our 4 year old on it just about 2 months ago. She has always had issues with aggression/anxiety. (We’ve tried literally everything else) So far I’ve done a good...

Hi everyone! Just a quick question- We just introduced a new kitten to our household. Did it VERY slow over the span of over a month. Our 4 year old (as expected) has acted out, but has shown GREAT progress. She is sassy and territorial. We are to the point of supervised face to face (we have...
