How to Calm an Anxious Cat

Start with your cat's behavior rather than their history.

Rescued and rehomed cats can present differently depending on what they're carrying.

If your cat cries when left alone, follows you constantly, or can't calm down in their new home, Relaxed Cat is the right place to start.

If your cat is aggressive toward other pets, hiding from an aggressor, or creating tension in the household, Social Cat is the right place to start.

If all three blends seem like a fit, choose the one that describes the problem you most want to solve first.

There's a good chance you'll see improvement in all areas.

Individual results vary.
