Anxious Cat

[Spshaffer]

I have had my cat Henry for two years since he was a kitten. He started out fearless and now he is scared of everything. I have another cat. They get along fine. He’s scared of noises and the outside feral cats he hears sometimes. He is very clingy to me and is always right by me all the time. I’m wondering if anyone has tried anything calming that has worked. Whether it’s pills or drops or collars. Just curious because I will be traveling soon with my husband for a week. My mom will be staying with our cats. We have no children either.
