SENTRY Calming Collar for Cats

Yes, a cat calming collar does work. For calming cats, you can either go for a cat calm spray or a calming cat collar. Both of them work using the same key principle – cat pheromone. Pheromones used in a calming spray for cats, as well as cat collars, mimic those that their mothers produce. Mother cats use these pheromones to calm their kittens. Hence, it is only natural that these pheromones will help keep adult cats calm too. Of course, since this is a behavioral trait, the cat calmer might fall short of its goal. Different cats react differently to pheromones. And while it is usually effective, you might still experience some discrepancies.

A cat should wear a calming collar for up to seven days. The Sentry Calm Collar for cats lasts up to 30 days. So you can continue using the same collar for up to four weeks. A calmer for cats works by dispersing pheromones. Afterward, it can take a bit of time before it can get used to the pheromones, and calm itself down. Before you put it on, check whether the collar fits your cat or not. For that, observe your cat for the first 10 minutes after you have put on the collar. You should put it on loosely and gradually tighten it for as long as the cat tolerates it, and you can fit at least two of your fingers between the collar and your cat’s neck.

Calming collars are usually very effective. They can calm your cats within a week. However, since not all cats exhibit the same behavioral patterns, the collar might not work every time.

Yes, calming collars can stop cats from meowing. Excessive meowing is a behavioral trait in stressed cats. As these calming collars help soothe and calm cats, you can expect these calmers to stop them from meowing. Of course, there might be some exceptions to this, as not all cats have the same behavioral patterns. Hence, do not be surprised if the calmer does not work effectively on your cat.

To tell the difference between a calm cat, and a stressed-out one, you have to be on the lookout for some physical as well as behavioral patterns. The physical signs of stress in cats include diarrhea, vomiting, runny eyes and nose, loss in appetite, lethargy, and sleepiness. These cats also tend to develop bald patches on their coats, which eventually turn worse over time. Behavioral signs of stress include pooping outside their litter box, spraying urine around the house, scratching on furniture, hissing at you or other people around the house, and excessive meowing. They also feel reluctant to do usual activities like playing or going outside. Stressed cats will also tend to hide more frequently inside the house.
